About Ella

Ella Haselden is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach alongside practical therapies to help people move through difficult times. She holds an MA in Clinical Counselling and is a BACP member. Ella writes simply and directly in sessions to help people feel heard and understood.

She has around ten years of experience working with issues such as grief, miscarriage, anxiety, depression and addiction. Early pregnancy loss has been a particular focus in her work, including research into how rituals and acknowledgements can support grieving.

Background and approach

Ella has run a monthly support group and has a independent practice started in 2018. Ella blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. That means she aims to follow a person's concerns closely while offering tools to change unhelpful thoughts and to spot practical steps forward.

Sessions are offered in clear, everyday language rather than jargon. Her background includes roles with community services in Liverpool, working with people who had complex needs and who were making life changes. These placements informed her work with motivation, self-esteem, forgiveness and coping with transitions.

She describes therapy as a partnership where courage and small steps matter. People meet Ella for one-to-one sessions that focus on what matters now. She encourages gradual change, noticing what helps and adapting the approach as needs shift.

Her aim is to walk alongside each person as they find clearer ways to cope and heal.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and offering acceptance and empathy. In online sessions this means the counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters to you so you feel understood and seen.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then tries practical alternatives. Online CBT often uses brief exercises and homework between sessions to spot patterns and try different ways of coping with anxiety, depression or sleep troubles.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small practical changes that move you towards your goals. It can be useful when you want clear, short-term steps to improve motivation, manage stress or navigate life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions can change over time as needs shift and different techniques are introduced collaboratively.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and have a longer conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
