About Ella

Ella Haselden works on stress, anxiety, grief, self‑esteem, addictions and life changes using a person‑centred approach alongside other therapeutic methods. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years' experience in professional counselling work.

Ella completed an MA in Clinical Counselling at the University of Chester and researched ways people mark early pregnancy loss, such as planting a tree or writing a letter. That research earned a distinction and informed her subsequent work supporting people after miscarriage and bereavement.

She practises primarily from a person‑centred position, which means sessions focus on the client's experience and ways to make sense of difficult feelings. Ella also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and solution‑focused interventions where these suit a person's needs and goals. She explains approaches plainly and uses practical strategies alongside reflective conversation.

Her background includes roles at Compass Counselling and the Psychological Therapies Unit in Liverpool, and work with services such as Liverpool Whitechapel Centre and Aigburth Drive Hostel. Those roles involved helping people with complex needs who were taking steps to change their situation.

Ella opened a private practice in 2018 and has delivered group work on early miscarriage in the past. Sessions are offered at set times during the week and she also provides some evening appointments on request. To begin, clients follow the service's matching process and book a first session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Ella uses client‑centred counselling to focus on the person's experience and feelings, listening and reflecting to help them gain clarity and self‑understanding. This approach suits people working through grief, self‑esteem issues or major life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and to try small, practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and addictive behaviours by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Solution‑focused therapy concentrates on current strengths and on small, achievable goals rather than lengthy analysis. It can be useful when someone wants short‑term support to move through a change or make a clear decision.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss the client's concerns, goals and preferences, and together they will agree which methods to try and review progress over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in sessions when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so the sessions remain practical and focused even when delivered remotely.
