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 perspectives to support clients in becoming their most authentic selves, and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

With over 3 years of professional experience and ongoing volunteer work at an addiction centre, she works across a wide 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, addiction, and adoption-related issues. Jacqueline is also specialist trained in adoption through a dedicated adoption course, which equips her to work across the different aspects of adoption and its impact on clients and families.

Clients can expect empathy, warmth, and supportive, non-judgmental collaboration as they explore areas they wish to change. Jacqueline frames counselling as an empowering and thought-provoking process that aims to help people make meaningful shifts in their lives. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
