About Ellen Watton-Emsley
Ellen Watton-Emsley is a person-centred counsellor who provides personal one-to-one sessions designed to let clients speak openly and feel genuinely heard. She creates a calm, nonjudgemental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace and lead the direction of each session.
Over the course of her practice, Ellen has supported people through a wide range of difficulties, including domestic abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, trauma, and abuse. She approaches each person with warmth, respect, and acceptance, believing that small amounts of support can make a meaningful difference during difficult times.
Her style is gentle and client-focused rather than directive. Rather than offering advice or telling people what to do, Ellen aims to listen deeply and help clients find their own understanding and choices. She recognises how daunting it can feel to reach out and works to help people feel more at ease when they first make contact.
