About Ella
Ella Haselden offers a person-centred way of working that puts the person at the heart of sessions. She emphasises respect, compassion and sensitivity while people talk through painful or confusing experiences. Ella aims to help clients understand themselves better and take steps towards healing and clearer decision making.
She holds an MA in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester and is a BACP member. Ella's early research looked at how small acts after pregnancy loss - such as planting a tree or writing a letter - can aid mourning, and she later specialised in supporting people affected by early miscarriage.
Background and approach
Across a decade of practice Ella has worked in NHS and community settings as well as running a independent practice since 2018. Roles have included integrative counselling work at Compass Counselling and using solution-focused techniques at a Psychological Therapies Unit. She has provided sessions for people with complex needs through local services and hostels in Liverpool.
Her day-to-day work draws on client-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her respond to whatever someone brings - grief, anxiety, addiction concerns or struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are offered on set days, with some evening times by enquiry; check the booking process to confirm current options.

Approaches Ella lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Ella works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ella will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas to try and can shift the balance if something is not working as hoped.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel and holding meetings from wherever is easier on the day. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so check the booking process to confirm current options before you book. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit short-term problem-solving or longer-term emotional work, helping people apply what they practise in daily life.
