About Ella
Ella Haselden is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She holds an MA in Clinical Counselling and is a BACP member. Ella aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about difficult emotions and begin to make small, steady changes.
Ella has around ten years of experience working with loss, anxiety and depression. She has particular experience supporting people after early pregnancy loss and ran a monthly support group before the pandemic.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing life changes, low self-esteem, anger and addiction concerns. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix allows her to follow a person’s lead while offering practical tools for stress, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Sessions aim to balance understanding with concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Ella has worked in both NHS-related services and community settings in Liverpool, including the Psychological Therapies Unit and outreach centres. She opened a independent practice in 2018 and has experience supporting people with complex needs who are ready to make changes in their lives.
Sessions are usually weekly and scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the day, with a small number of evening slots sometimes available. Ella will work with each person at a pace that suits them and focus on realistic goals for recovery and growth.

Approaches Ella lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote work this often involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising simple exercises between sessions to change routines or sleep habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy homes in on practical steps and small goals. Online meetings suit this approach well because they make it easy to set short tasks and review progress quickly in follow-up messages or brief video check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what to try first. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time as you learn what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging makes it easy to keep a therapy journal and send updates between appointments. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
