About Ella
Ella Haselden is a BACP-accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, depression and compassion fatigue. Ella also lists life purpose, attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, midlife transitions, self-love and women's issues among her areas of focus.
Ella trained at the University of Chester, gaining an MA in Clinical Counselling and completing research on how small acts of acknowledgement can help people after early pregnancy loss. That work informed her later specialism supporting people affected by miscarriage and related grief, including running a monthly support group before the pandemic.
Her approach centres on person-centred practice while drawing on other methods such as cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques. In sessions Ella listens for practical patterns and offers ways to try different ideas between meetings. She aims to help clients better understand their feelings and make manageable steps forward when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Her background includes work in Liverpool at Compass Counselling and within a Psychological Therapies Unit, and practice with organisations supporting people with complex needs. Ella opened her private practice in 2018 and has worked with people referred from community settings as well as those seeking private counselling.
Sessions are scheduled weekly with core daytime hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and a limited number of evening slots. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Ella draws on person-centred practice, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Person-centred practice emphasises listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people to name feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what is already working, which can suit people seeking clear, short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ella works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their situation and preferences. She discusses goals and adapts techniques so the work feels relevant to the problem at hand, whether that is anxiety, grief, a midlife change or questions about life purpose.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions useful for continuity of care and for maintaining momentum between in-person appointments.
