Ellie's Approach
My approach is warm and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood and free from judgement. Rather than focusing only on the difficulties you are experiencing today, I’m interested in understanding the bigger picture, including your emotions, relationships, experiences and patterns that may be influencing your life in the present.
My work is influenced by psychodynamic approaches, which can help us explore how past experiences and relationships may continue to shape our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. At the same time, I believe therapy should be adapted to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can work at a pace that feels comfortable for you and focus on developing greater self-understanding, emotional awareness and meaningful change.
I’m a counsellor with a degree in psychology from 'La Universidad Católica del Uruguay' and international academic experience at the 'University of Leeds' in England. Throughout my training, I gained experience providing individual psychological support under supervision, while developing a particular interest in trauma, emotional regulation, relationships and the ways our experiences can shape how we understand ourselves and others. Alongside my psychology training, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults and supported people with a range of different needs across Uruguay, the UK and Australia.
Ultimately, I see therapy as a process we navigate together. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
Couples Therapy
For couples, I have completed training in the Gottman Method, a research-informed approach to relationship therapy. I use this framework to help couples strengthen their friendship and emotional connection, communicate more effectively, navigate conflict and develop healthier patterns within their relationship.
Whether you are experiencing ongoing conflict, feeling disconnected, navigating a difficult transition or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, couples therapy provides a space for both partners to feel heard and understood.
