Ellie Johnson
MBACP Integrative Therapist
A warm welcome to my profile
I’m Ellie, an Integrative Therapist, a registered member of the BACP and accredited registrant with the NCPS.
My aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater sense of choice and control in your life. Together, we may explore how your past experiences have shaped you, as well as the processes outside your awareness that can leave you feeling stuck, repeating familiar patterns or experiencing emotional pain.
I offer an honest and collaborative space where the different parts of who you are can be explored with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgement.
My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic modalities. I believe 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.
I have particular experience supporting people affected by abuse and trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or attachment difficulties. I also work with people exploring what a recent diagnosis or recognition of neurodivergence, including ADHD or autism, means for them and their understanding of themselves.

My Therapeutic Approach
Integrative Methods
I work with a trauma-informed approach and have an integrative training background, drawing on Gestalt, CBT, Existential therapy, Transactional Analysis, Attachment theory and parts work, alongside others - tailoring our work to what feels right for you.
Person-Centered
My integrative approach is rooted in person-centred theory, which holds the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and we will work together to understand your unique inner world and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others.
Relational Work
Relational work recognises that many of our patterns and emotional wounds develop through relationships - and can also begin to heal within one. Therapy can offer an opportunity to experience new ways of relating that feel more authentic and connected.
