About Ella
Ella Haselden is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and problems with self-esteem. Her work also covers relationship strain, addiction, sleep disruption and feelings of guilt and shame.
She trained at the University of Chester and completed an MA in Clinical Counselling. Her research looked at how acts of acknowledgement after early pregnancy loss can help, and she has supported people affected by miscarriage and bereavement. She has prior roles in community and specialist services, including work with people who had multiple and complex needs.
Ella uses a client-centred approach as her foundation and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques when helpful. In practice this means she listens to what matters most to each person, then introduces practical ways to test and shift thoughts, and short-term steps to build on strengths.
She has worked in Liverpool at Compass Counselling and in a Psychological Therapies Unit, and has been procured by local centres and hostels to offer one-to-one support. She opened a private practice in 2018 and continues to see people who want help with loss, life changes and rebuilding confidence.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Ella uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. This means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify their own priorities and goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves looking at thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where changing routine or thinking patterns can make a difference.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for doable, short-term steps and the strengths a person already has. It is practical and aims to build small successes that can be repeated between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ella will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT exercises and solution-focused tasks so they suit remote sessions and daily life.
