Jeanette Ellis

Jeanette Ellis is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anger, stress and anxiety. She also supports those struggling with low self-esteem, motivation and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.

Jeanette keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. She emphasises listening first, then collaborating on practical steps that suit everyday life.

Her background includes work supporting people after traumatic events and through major life changes. That work has shaped how she responds to strong emotions and to difficulties that carry on over time. She draws on approaches that focus on relationships, personal strengths and practical changes.

In sessions Jeanette uses techniques that help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and then test small, realistic changes. She also pays attention to how early attachments and relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. This combination is used to help people manage anger, improve sleep, and cope with loss or stressful transitions.

Jeanette has accumulated eleven years of practice experience and holds BACP as her recorded credential. She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, parenting strain, work stress and ADHD-related difficulties. People who want a calm, practical tone often find her approach useful.

How Jeanette’s approaches work online and in practice

Jeanette uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques as key parts of her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when anger or relationship worries keep recurring. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve sleep or mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanette will listen to what matters to the person and then agree together which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as goals change, so sessions adapt to progress and feedback.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes it simpler to continue talking through difficult events and practise new coping steps between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on relationship patterns, practical problem-solving or trauma recovery depending on each person’s priorities.
