Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis, BACP

Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis is a degree-educated integrative counsellor who blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s needs. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore early trauma, humanistic work to support clients in becoming their most authentic selves, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address patterns of thought and behaviour. With over three years of practical experience, she also volunteers at an addiction centre, bringing additional insight into substance-related difficulties and recovery.

Her practice covers a broad range of mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, low mood and confidence, grief and loss, neurodivergence, trauma bonding, identity and belonging issues, addiction, and matters related to adoption. She has completed specialist training in adoption, which enables her to work across the full spectrum of adoption-related challenges.

Clients can expect a therapeutic stance marked by empathy, warmth, and non-judgmental support as she works alongside them to explore areas they wish to change. Jacqueline aims to make the counselling process accessible and empowering, encouraging reflection and growth while respecting each person’s pace and experience.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
