About Ella
Ella Haselden is a counsellor and a BACP member with 10 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, and also supports people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, sleep problems, anger and depression.
She trained at the University of Chester and holds an MA in Clinical Counselling. Her research looked at ways people mark early pregnancy loss, and she has particular experience supporting people after miscarriage and other forms of bereavement.
Ella draws on client-centred practice alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused methods. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people notice thinking and behaviour patterns, try small changes, and review what works.
Her work history includes NHS referral pathways and community settings in Liverpool, including Compass Counselling and the Psychological Therapies Unit. She has also worked with local hostels and community organisations supporting people with complex needs who are making life changes.
Ella opened a private practice in 2018 and has run a monthly support group focused on early pregnancy loss before the pandemic. She offers weekly appointments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during daytime hours, with a limited number of evening slots available on enquiry.
Sessions use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule the first appointment.
How Ella uses CBT, client-centred and solution-focused methods online
Ella draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in clinical work. CBT helps people map links between thoughts, feelings and actions and practice small changes that reduce distress. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening and understanding a person’s experience to build clarity and self-knowledge. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises setting practical goals and noticing what is already working so change can be accelerated.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Ella discusses options with clients in early sessions and adjusts techniques based on each person’s goals and preferences. The focus is on clear, manageable steps and reviewing progress together so the plan can change if needed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you are considering sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. This helps match timings and practical needs to the therapeutic approach and keeps weekly or regular appointments easier to sustain.
