Jeanette Ellis
Supportive counsellor blending practical tools and listening
About Jeanette
Jeanette Ellis offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps people facing low mood, confidence struggles, addictive behaviours and problems with sleep or eating. Jeanette explains things simply and works at a steady pace to help people take small, manageable steps forward.
Her background includes eleven years working in the United Kingdom as a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
She has supported people after traumatic events and during big life transitions. Her experience covers a wide range of concerns including grief, bipolar mood difficulties, compassion fatigue and ADHD related challenges. In sessions she adapts the way she works to each person.
Jeanette draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centred techniques to make space for people to tell their story in their own words. She also applies cognitive behavioural tools when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way.
Expect conversations that focus on practical changes rather than jargon. Jeanette aims to help people build clearer coping strategies, steadier routines and more reliable ways to manage emotions. She encourages skill-building you can use between sessions.
If someone wants a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who blends talking with hands-on techniques, Jeanette offers that combination. Her approach is steady and goal-focused, while remaining respectful of each person’s pace and values.

How Jeanette’s approaches work online
Jeanette blends attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural methods to help people make practical changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early or close relationships shape current patterns and helps people recognise unhelpful relationship habits. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and routines that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through what feels most useful and adjust techniques to match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a straightforward plan people can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows for ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make therapy more flexible so people can fit sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments.
