Welcome to Yellow Brick Road Therapy

Hello. My name is Ellie and I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

Looking for a therapist can feel a little daunting and scary. I have included lots of information about working with me on here so hopefully this can explain the process a little to you. Please have a look through and get in touch if you feel I can help you.

There is not one therapy that works for everyone, which is why I am trained in an integrative way. Working with different modalities means that we can find the most suitable approach for you, combining some approaches as everyone is different.  Sometimes you just 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.
