Ella Haselden, BACP

Ella Haselden trained at the University of Chester, where she earned an MA in Clinical Counselling and achieved a distinction for research into how symbolic acknowledgements - such as planting a tree or writing a letter - can help people after early pregnancy loss. She developed a particular focus on supporting those affected by miscarriage and facilitated a regular peer group before the pandemic.

As a fully trained Person Centred counsellor, Ella creates an atmosphere of respect, compassion and sensitivity that supports clients to explore difficult emotions, build self-understanding and begin the process of healing and personal growth. Her practice is integrative in approach, allowing her to draw on a range of techniques, including Solution-Focused methods, to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Ella has worked in a variety of settings in Liverpool, including Compass Counselling and a Psychological Therapies Unit, and has provided services commissioned by Liverpool Whitechapel Centre and Aigburth Drive Hostel for people with multiple and complex needs who were seeking change. She opened a private practice in 2018 and offers weekly sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 5pm, with a limited number of evening appointments available on request.

Ella is an accredited member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is an insured therapist with nine years of professional experience. She supports people with issues such as early pregnancy loss, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and relationship and trauma-related concerns, and accompanies clients as they make courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.
