Ella Haselden

Ella Haselden offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of therapy. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people untangle worries and take the next steps towards feeling steadier. Ella's work is gentle and direct, aimed at helping people find greater self-understanding and practical ways to cope.

She holds an MA in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester and is a BACP member. Her early research focused on how symbolic acts can support people after early pregnancy loss, and she later ran a monthly support group for those affected before the pandemic. Ella brings ten years of experience working across community and clinical settings and in private practice.

Her experience includes work with grief and loss, early pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and motivation. She has supported people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, sleeping issues and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis, self-love and women's issues.

Ella blends Client-Centred Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She adapts practical tools to suit each person's needs while keeping conversations rooted in respect and empathy. Clients can expect open dialogue and collaborative goal-setting.

Sessions are offered from her UK practice and she has worked in community services in Liverpool alongside running a private practice since 2018.

How Ella's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a respectful space so people can talk through difficult feelings and find their own solutions. This approach helps with grief, self-esteem, life changes and women's issues by centring the person's perspective and pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out practical changes in behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stressful situations.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, achievable steps that move someone towards their goals. It works well when someone wants to focus on concrete changes and short-term progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ella discusses different methods with each person and together they decide which fits best based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping counselling practical and on-track while juggling everyday life.
