About Ella
Ella Haselden is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She focuses on listening with respect and compassion so people can talk through painful experiences and start to make sense of difficult feelings. Ella draws on ten years of professional experience and her BACP accreditation to offer calm, steady support during hard times.
She trained at the University of Chester and gained an MA in Clinical Counselling, including research into how small acts of remembrance helped people after early pregnancy loss. That research informed her later work supporting people who have experienced miscarriage and other forms of grief.
Over her career she has used a mix of methods, including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Ella adapts what she uses to each person, explaining techniques simply and practising collaboratively rather than following a rigid plan.
Her background includes roles at Compass Counselling and local psychological therapy services in Liverpool. She has also worked with people facing complex needs through partnerships with community organisations and opened a private practice in 2018.
Typical concerns she helps with include anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Ella offers regular weekly sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a small number of evening appointments by enquiry.
How these approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space so people can talk through what matters to them. It helps with grief, low self-esteem and major life changes by prioritising the person’s own pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and small steps forward, helping people spot strengths and build on what already works.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The counsellor will discuss options and try techniques together to see what fits the person’s needs and preferences. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or childcare, reduce travel time and keep continuity when life gets busy. It also allows brief check-ins or more structured sessions depending on what suits each person.
