About Jeanette

Jeanette Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She offers steady support for those coping with major life changes, addiction concerns and the aftermath of traumatic events. Jeanette writes in a warm, respectful way and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships influence emotional patterns. Client-centred methods shape sessions so the person leads the pace and focus. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps and thinking-pattern work can help reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Jeanette works from a straightforward, compassionate stance. She aims to understand what matters to each person and then builds a plan together. Sessions are framed around realistic steps people can try between meetings as well as discussion in the room.

Over 11 years of practice have included helping people with parenting stress, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, career strain, and the challenges that come with ADHD or bipolar mood issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, adoption and foster care concerns, and the effects of domestic violence and separation.

Jeanette is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, users follow the site process to match with her and book according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jeanette often uses attachment-based work to look at how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues affect daily life and relationships. Client-centred therapy forms the core of her style by making sessions a space where the person sets the pace and is heard without judgement. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used for practical tasks that target unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns common in anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette aims to explore what feels most useful together, matching methods to the person's goals and everyday needs. She discusses options and adapts methods as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting conversations into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins during life transitions, create short focused sessions when needed, or use different ways of working between meetings. Confirm the available session formats before booking to ensure they suit your routine and preferences.
