Hello, I’m Ellie, an experienced counsellor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. If you’re here, it likely means you’re facing a tough time right now—maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself. I know that can be difficult, and I want you to know that you’re not alone in this.
Sometimes, we find ourselves caught in cycles of negative thoughts or patterns of behaviour that feel impossible to break. My role is to help you work through those cycles. I’ll be here to help you untangle what’s holding you back, so you can find new ways to cope, make sense of your experiences, and start to feel more grounded.
I understand how hard it can be to take that first step toward reaching out for help. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate. In our sessions, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that may be contributing to how you’re feeling, and together, we’ll work toward developing healthier ways to respond.
Over time, I’ve seen clients make meaningful progress as they build new coping skills, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or feelings of stress and being “stuck,” I’m here to offer support and practical guidance tailored to your unique journey.
Please know that reaching out for help is a powerful first step, and I’ll be with you, every step of the way, to make sure you feel understood and supported.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
