Don't face your fears alone - support for young people and adults

Eleanor Knowle-Wade Therpist in Bingley

Hi, I’m Ellie, a qualified registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering both online and face-to-face counselling. I work with adults and childen. 
If you are looking for therapy for yourself or a loved one, I imagine that parts of your life are not working for you at the moment. It may be that you feel that life is difficult due to anxiety, depression, low self esteem or a difficult life transition such as a separation, bereavement, diagnosis or redundancy. Life transitions such as divorce and a change of schools can also have a profound effect on children.


Life isn't always easy, and I'd like to help you. My passion for counselling comes from my own experience as a client and seeing first-hand how transformative the therapeutic process can be. Experiencing the positive impact counselling had on my own life inspired me to train as a counsellor and support others in creating
meaningful, lasting change.


I work predominantly from a Person-Centred approach, meaning that our sessions are led by you. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I will never pressure you to discuss anything you're not ready to explore, or encourage you to work at a pace that doesn't feel right for you. Where appropriate, I may also incorporate CBT- informed techniques and exercises to help you develop practical strategies and new ways of thinking.

​

I often say that I have “lived a life”. Alongside my professional training and experience, I bring with me a wealth of understanding gained through my own life experiences. Combined with the insight and expertise I have developed through my work with clients, this allows me to meet people with genuine empathy, warmth and compassion.


When life is messy, challenging and overwhelming, I recognise the courage it takes to reach out for support. Reaching out shows immense bravery, and I would love to work with you to help you with your challenges. I have walked alongside my other clients, current and past, on their journeys, and I have always considered it a real privilege and value the trust they place in me.


I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely understood and accepted. Through our work together, I hope to help you develop greater self-
awareness, build self-compassion, strengthen resilience and move towards a happier, more peaceful and fulfilling life. How does that sound? You don't need to face this
alone.
