About Jeanette
Jeanette Ellis greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people through trauma, difficult life changes and issues related to LGBT identity.
Jeanette offers straightforward help and calm, respectful conversation for those ready to make a change. With 11 years of experience, Jeanette adapts how she works to fit each person. She listens first, then shapes short-term goals and practical steps.
Background and approach
That can include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, improving relationships and building coping strategies for day-to-day life. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. This means paying attention to relationships and making space for each person's experience while following their priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused tools to break problems into manageable tasks. Jeanette makes space for complex situations such as grief, trauma and long-term health issues. She can help with career stress, parenting strain, compulsive behaviours and challenges like ADHD or bipolar mood shifts.
Her work is rooted in respect and kindness, and she aims to empower people to find the next right step. People who prefer clear, practical conversation and small, steady progress often find her style helpful. Jeanette asks questions, listens carefully and works alongside each person to build realistic plans for change.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. In practice this means discussing patterns that show up in current relationships and building safer ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor following the client's pace and priorities and offering empathic, non-directive support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces practical tasks to shift them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jeanette will work together with each person to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses, and decisions are made collaboratively rather than imposed.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when people prefer audio-only. Many registered or accredited professionals find online methods useful for keeping momentum between sessions and for practising skills in real-world situations.
