Welcome to Yellow Brick Road Therapy
Hello. My name is Ellie and I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor trained in Humanistic, Behavioural and Psychodynamic approaches.
Working with these different modalities means that we can find the most suitable approach for you, as everyone is different. Sometimes you need some extra help and support to reach your own inner resources to cope during difficult times in life.
Please see below a little about the theoretical approaches I use in therapy.
I am based in Tring, Hertfordshire, with easy access from Berkhamsted, Aston Clinton, Wendover and other surrounding towns and villages.
Humanistic (Person Centred, Existential, Gestalt)
Humanistic approaches identify and uphold the basic goodness of each individual, while at the same time recognising the adverse circumstances that may obscure these qualities at various stages throughout life. Every person has a unique way of perceiving and interpreting events.
Behavioural (CBT, REBT, DBT)
Exploring how the experience of thinking, reasoning and perceiving affects feelings and behaviours. Looking at irrational beliefs and how this can affect emotions and behaviours. Learning to challenge thoughts and feelings, and looking at emotional regulation.
Psychodynamic (Psychoanalysis)
The psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within a person, particularly unconscious. The goals of therapy are for you to have self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behaviour.
Benefits of Counselling and Psychotherapy
