About Jeanette

Jeanette Ellis is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel steadier and more capable. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the fallout from traumatic events. Jeanette speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel a little easier for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. Sessions centre on listening, building trust and finding practical steps to reduce distress.

Background and approach

That can mean talking through how thoughts affect mood, exploring attachment patterns, or setting small goals to regain control of daily life. Jeanette has a BACP credential and brings eleven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, parenting strain, career stresses and changes in life stage.

She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar challenges and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to complex histories like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity, chronic illness or pain, and the impact of domestic violence.

Jeanette adapts the pace and focus of sessions to fit the person in front of her rather than using a fixed programme. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, practical coping tools and a collaborative plan. She encourages small, manageable steps and stays focused on what matters most to the individual seeking support.

Online approaches for trauma and everyday problems

Jeanette uses a few practical approaches to help people manage distress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and working through the impact of past harm, helping someone reduce distressing reactions and build coping skills. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and trust, and it helps people change unhelpful patterns in their close connections. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour, offering clear exercises that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try approaches that match those aims. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs become clearer during sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need day-to-day support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel commitments while still using trauma-focused, attachment or CBT techniques.
