About Ella

Ella Haselden offers a person-centred way of working that aims to create a calm space for people to talk about difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when helpful. Ella has a decade of experience supporting people through grief, anxiety, addiction and life changes.

She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Ella trained at the University of Chester and completed an MA in Clinical Counselling, with a distinction for research into rituals following early pregnancy loss.

Background and approach

That research informed her later work supporting people affected by miscarriage and bereavement. She ran a monthly support group before the pandemic and continues to work with grief and loss in her practice. Her background includes roles in Liverpool with Compass Counselling and the Psychological Therapies Unit, where she used Solution-Focused techniques.

Ella also provided sessions for clients with multiple and complex needs through local services. In 2018 she opened a independent practice and has been working independently since then. In sessions she keeps language simple and practical.

She helps people identify small, achievable steps and notices what makes a difference. She uses CBT tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused ideas to set short-term goals. The main aim is to help people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps.

Ella offers consultations by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She works weekdays and has some evening slots on request. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to therapist availability.

How Ella's approaches work online

Ella uses a person-centred way of working that centres on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and encourages self-exploration without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that cause distress. In practical online sessions Ella might introduce simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small steps forward, helping clients set clear, short-term goals and notice progress between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Ella will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work develops. The aim is to find an approach that feels useful and realistic for everyday life.

Online sessions via video call make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments. Phone sessions can be used when video is not possible or when a quieter, less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, brief reflections or when writing is more comfortable. These formats give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
