Therapeutic Interventions

---

At Halo&Me Therapy, adults are offered a confidential, compassionate space to explore their inner world and move toward meaningful healing and growth — all from the comfort and privacy of their own home.

Led by Ellie, a Mental Health Accredited Social Worker and EMDR Practitioner, Halo&Me provides trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and strengths-based counselling tailored to each individual. Every session is grounded in connection, care, safety, and belonging.

A Safe & Confidential Therapeutic Space

Adult counselling at Halo&Me offers:

• A calm, non-judgemental environment
   
• A pace that feels safe, respectful, and empowering
   
• A collaborative and client-led approach
   
• Deeply attuned, trauma-informed care
   

Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, grief and loss, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or self-worth concerns, sessions are tailored to your needs and therapeutic goals.

EMDR-Informed & Trauma-Focused Support

Ellie is a trained EMDR Practitioner (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and integrates EMDR therapy into her work — either actively within sessions or working toward EMDR readiness where appropriate.

EMDR can support adults to:

• Process traumatic or distressing memories
   
• Reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences
   
• Shift long-held negative beliefs
   
• Strengthen adaptive coping and resilience
   

For some clients, therapy may begin with building safety, emotional regulation skills, and internal resourcing before commencing EMDR processing. All work is paced carefully to ensure you feel supported and in control throughout the journey.

Therapeutic Modalities

Ellie draws from:

• EMDR Therapy
   
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
   
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
   
• Trauma-informed frameworks
   
• Neuro-affirming practice
   
• Strengths-based approaches
   

Her work supports clients to:

• Explore and understand their inner world
   
• Build emotional regulation and nervous system awareness
   
• Develop confidence and resilience
   
• Strengthen self-compassion and clarity of values
   

Qualifications

• Master of Social Work
   
• Bachelor of Human Services
   
• Mental Health Accredited Social Worker
   
• EMDR Practitioner
   

Additional professional training includes trauma-informed care, anxiety-focused interventions, and a range of evidence-based therapeutic frameworks.

At Halo&Me Therapy, adult counselling is not about “fixing” you — it is about supporting you to process, integrate, and grow.

You deserve a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive. 🌿

A Gentle & Attuned Approach to Child Therapy

Child counselling is designed to feel safe, creative, and empowering. Therapy may support children experiencing:

• Anxiety and big emotions
   
• Trauma or adverse experiences
   
• Attachment and relational challenges
   
• Emotional regulation difficulties
   
• Behavioural concerns
   
• Social or friendship struggles
   
• Grief and loss

• School challenges, refusal and more
   

Ellie works not only with the child, but alongside parents and caregivers — recognising that lasting change happens when children feel supported within their wider family system.

EMDR & Nervous System–Informed Interventions

Ellie integrates specialised trauma and nervous system therapies where appropriate, including:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

EMDR is adapted carefully for children and can support the processing of distressing memories, fears, or overwhelming experiences. Work may involve playful, creative, and resourcing-based approaches before moving into deeper processing — always at a pace that feels safe.

Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)

A gentle, evidence-informed sound therapy designed to support nervous system regulation, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional and social engagement.

These interventions are thoughtfully integrated within a broader therapeutic plan that prioritises regulation, safety, and connection.
