Elleen’s compassion and range of techniques helped me overcome long-standing social anxiety. I now feel lighter, more confident, and happier in ways others can notice too.
Since my early teenage years, I have struggled with social anxiety and as much as I’d wanted to do therapy after a while, I was very afraid to do it because I wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone that would understand me and the problems I was facing.
But after meeting Elleen, I was able to have a very positive therapy experience on my first try which doesn’t happen to everyone. Elleen is compassionate and shows real empathy but she also encourages me to challenge myself with her large range of therapy techniques. That have helped me progress in so many areas of my life which have felt stagnant for so long. I’ve gone from constantly feeling this heavy weight on my shoulders to feeling lighter and more confident and I can now confront many situations I used to avoid out of fear.
Because of the help and support she has provided, a lot of people in my life have noticed a significant difference in me and tell me how much happier and vibrant I look. I’m happy to say I can see it in myself too. I would highly recommend Elleen and her expertise to guide you through your healing journey!

I have just finished a course of sessions with Elleen and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Elleen is very approachable and from the beginning made me feel comfortable and supported during the sessions. She gave me time and space to talk through what was happening to me and explained things clearly, at the right pace, so that each session felt positive. The information and theory around different patterns of thought was really useful, and importantly, Elleen gave me practical suggestions for things I could do to understand my emotions and manage the physical symptoms they were giving me. She gave me time to try these suggestions out, and helped me to adapt them to work for me personally. This really helped me move forward.
Her calm, positive, thoughtful and knowledgeable approach gave me confidence and understanding. I now feel I have tools and techniques to understand and deal with my anxiety, and will be able to keep moving forward on my own.

Even leaving my me practical and tangible resources for as and when I may need to remind myself of who I am and how far I have come!
