Ella Haselden, BACP

Counsellor Ella Haselden is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with ten years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, addictions and other life difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.

Ella completed an MA in Clinical Counselling at the University of Chester. Her dissertation looked at how personal acts of remembrance after early pregnancy loss - such as planting a tree or writing a letter - can help people process grief. That research led to a period of focused practice supporting people affected by miscarriage, including running a monthly peer group before the pandemic.

Her work draws primarily on client-centred practice, with additional techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. In sessions she encourages practical ways to notice patterns, try small changes and weigh options. This can be useful for people dealing with low mood, anxiety, problems with sleep, anger or issues around substance use.

Ella has worked in a range of settings, including community services in Liverpool and a private practice opened in 2018. She has offered counselling to people with multiple and complex needs through local organisations and hostels, and has experience helping people make life changes and address attachment, guilt and shame concerns.

Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful. People usually meet weekly at times she lists for daytime and some evening slots. A subscription model is used for sessions and it can be cancelled at any time.
