Integrative Therapy

A warm welcome to my profile
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might understand why you respond in certain ways, yet still find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns. Perhaps you struggle with shame or self-doubt, find yourself adapting to other people, or feel overwhelmed by emotions that don't always make sense.
You may be recovering from a relationship or experience that has changed how safe it feels to trust yourself or others. Or perhaps a recent recognition of ADHD or autism has led you to look back at your life differently.
I'm Ellie, an integrative therapist offering therapy in central Bristol and online across the UK. An integrative approach is based on the belief that every person is unique, so therapy should reflect who you are and what you need. Together, we will shape the process in a way that feels meaningful and tailored to you.
My Therapeutic Approach
Integrative Methods
There isn't one way of doing therapy that works for everyone. I draw from different therapeutic traditions depending on you and what we're exploring.
Relational Work
We pay attention not only to what has happened to you, but how your experiences may have shaped the ways you relate to yourself and others.
Trauma Informed
We work with sensitivity to safety, choice, pace and the ways difficult experiences can continue to affect the mind and body.
What I Can Help With
I work with adults experiencing difficulties including:
Trauma & abuse · Relationship & attachment difficulties · Shame & low self-esteem · Anxiety & overwhelm · Depression & disconnection · ADHD & neurodivergence · Difficult family relationships · People-pleasing & boundaries · Identity & sense of self · Repeating relationship patterns · Life transitions & change
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or what you want from therapy. Part of our work may be understanding that together.
