Latest Testimonials

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ellie.

“Ellie worked with me over a number of months and helped me to get clarity and a way forward in my personal and professional life. From the first session, I felt safe and comfortable with her. She challenged when necessary, all within ethical boundaries. Her empathy and love for her work shone through. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ellie.”

Grateful to Ellie for helping me get there

“My parents encouraged me to start Mable therapy with Ellie, as they felt strongly that I needed it. At first i was slightly reluctant, as it wasn’t something I had done before. Safe to say that it was the best decision they could have made for me. Ellie created a safe and friendly environment, in which I felt I was able to talk openly and honestly with her about my problems. Therapy with Ellie definitely changed the way i approach situations, making me able to be less irrational. I am very grateful for how it helped me, and grateful to Ellie for helping me get there. I would definitely recommend to anyone who feels they need therapy to use Mable. Thank you again to Ellie.”

I feel confident for the future

“I would highly recommend the counselling services of Ellie. Ellie gave me the tools required to help me be able to challenge myself, situations and also gave me the power to self-reflect successfully. Ellie made me look at situations and feelings differently than I would have normally and for this I am really grateful. I feel confident for the future and able to move forward with a great positive mental attitude, the skills I gained will help me in my day-to-day life.
Thank you very much for giving me the confidence to pursue tasks that I would not have normally completed.”

She’s amazing, caring and very professional

“I have been seeing Ellie for 7/8 months now, once a week and the work she has put in has been outstanding! She’s amazing, caring and very professional. Before I was referred to Ellie, I suffered with anger issues and a lot of darkness during my life and never believed in talking to a stranger about my problems. My sessions with Ellie, she has been the light of the darkness and I can’t thank her enough for helping me become the person I always wanted to be! I recommend anyone who needs help or just someone to talk to, to go see Ellie. Thank you.”

Extremely professional

“Our daughter was struggling with an eating disorder. We are an expat family and were not able to access services within our country of residence so the online platform that was offered was ideal for our situation. We were able to search through the list of therapists, narrow it down to the therapist with experience in the area we needed and then my daughter chose the therapist she felt most comfortable working with. My daughter decided she wanted to work with Ellie and we set up our first session. When I first booked the appointment, it was a week away but I asked if Ellie had any earlier availability. Ellie was extremely flexible and was able to move to an earlier date. When we first met with Ellie, I met with her alone and described the situation. Ellie asked relevant questions and informed me of how the sessions would be run with my daughter. She then had her first meeting. My daughter is not one to share information but she felt comfortable with Ellie and was able to discuss problems and issues she was having with her. Within a few weeks, we saw a change in our daughter’s approach towards problems and felt that she was starting more easily cope with situations related to her disordered eating. Ellie was open to communication with me and I was able to tell her any issues that had arisen so that she could also work through these problems with my daughter in the session. Ellie was always on time and she was extremely professional. She had a very calm demeanour and was extremely understanding which led her to quickly develop a relationship with my child. I highly recommend Ellie and would not hesitate to book sessions with her if we need them again at a later time”

Ellie is very easy to talk to

“Ellie is very easy to talk to, I found our sessions helpful and have felt more able to make positive changes to my life.”

My son found his sessions with Ellie useful

“My son found his sessions with Ellie useful. She always kept me as informed as she could within the boundaries of confidentiality. I did appreciate the fact that she was available at short notice on one occasion when my son had a setback and I was worried for him.”

Really helped my daughter

“Ellie has really helped my daughter with her social anxiety. Ellie has been wonderful. She has offered immense support and listened to how many daughter has been feeling. Ellie has given her exercises to use when faced with uncomfortable situations. My daughter now feels she is overcoming these issues and I have noticed a massive change in her confidence. I cannot thank Ellie enough and would highly recommend her.”

Highly Recommend
