I went into counselling at a time when I felt I had nowhere else
to turn for help. It might be the bravest decision I have ever
made for myself. It was also an incredibly difficult journey
to begin, because I knew that I had a lot I needed to
confront.
Ellen made this process tremendously safe for me. With
her sharp observations and deeply insightful guidance,
I’ve been able to begin to overcome childhood trauma I
never realized I had. She has helped me understand the
true nature of forgiveness and has gently but firmly been
able to set me on course towards forgiving my father for
his absence in my life. It has not been a small feat, by any
stretch of imagination, and I will always be grateful for the
clarity of mind that she has helped me achieve.
Ellen is exactly who I needed to help me overcome the
challenges I could not and did not know how to confront. I
have no doubt that she will continue to touch the lives of
people brave enough to begin their journey, in her
very unique and pragmatic way.
