A little about me
I offer Individual counselling and Couples Therapy, in-person and online from my air conditioned counselling cabin in Fleet, Hampshire. I believe in kindness, compassion and understanding and as your counsellor I will work collaboratively with you providing a safe, confidential, space for you to express and process your emotions. I have extensive experience in counselling for a wide range of issues and will tailor your counselling to meet your needs.
Whether you are looking to cope with a specific mental health issue, better manage unpleasant emotions or simply want to feel better about yourself, counselling can help.
My name is Caroline Ellison and I am a BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in Fleet, Hampshire, on the borders of Hampshire and Surrey. Please email me to book your initial session.
My Counselling Style
Counselling provides an opportunity for you to talk about your concerns in a confidential and safe environment. My goal as your talking therapist is to help you develop a deeper understanding of what is happening and to support you in finding ways to manage your emotions, anxieties, relationships, grief and any other concerns you bring to therapy. As an Accredited BACP counsellor I offer professional, quality counselling.
Talking with a counsellor offers a cocoon, a space to vent, a sounding board, a space where it is safe to honestly sit with your emotions, cry, shout, talk, whatever you need. I will sit with you, listen and offer you a mental ‘first aid kit’ to support you. You are not alone, I am here for you.
Remember, your feelings do not own you, you own your feelings! Find a way to be OK with how you feel and understand why you feel the way you do, when you do.
