My name is Rachel Ellis and I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) accredited counsellor and psychotherapist supporting individuals, couples and families from my practice in Church Crookham, Fleet in Hampshire. I am also a qualified counselling supervisor. Most of us will at some point in our lives encounter difficulties that cannot easily be overcome.
Sometimes the support of friends, family or others is enough to enable us to find a way forward, but there are times when talking to an impartial and professional third party can help. I provide a confidential space, in which we can discuss and explore the issues affecting you, gaining clarity, and working towards change.
I have 13 years experience of working with a wide range of issues, and my approach to counselling is integrative, which means that I am trained in a number of theories, and can tailor counselling to meet your individual needs.I work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework, and as such am committed to regular and ongoing professional training and development.

Services
Outside of my private practice, I have trained and worked for Relate and Cruse Bereavement Care.
I am also a lecturer in counselling, and have developed a number of training workshops for Cruse Bereavement Care, Basingstoke College of Technology, Farnborough College of Technology and Surrey Counselling Training.
I offer an integrative counselling approach based on systemic, narrative psychodynamic and attachment theories.
This integration of theory will allow us to explore your issues in the context of your personal history and development, your current circumstances and relationships, and the belief systems and thought processes underlying your feelings and behaviours, enabling you to identify opportunities for change.

So counselling is not about giving advice or telling you what to do; it's about helping you to find your own way forward.
Many people come to counselling feeling 'stuck', as if something is in the way of their happiness or their progress.
This may be circumstantial, it may be part of a relationship dynamic, or perhaps it has its' origins in childhood experiences.
Counselling will help you to explore this, to make sense of it and to consider your options for the future.
Before sharing your personal thoughts, feelings and issues, you will no doubt want to feel that you are in safe and competent hands.

Everyone is different and so I'm unable to give a standard answer to this question.
It depends on a range of factors including the complexity of the problem, the support you have outside of counselling and so on.
However, you may have a limitation on the number of sessions you can attend, in which case we would discuss this at the start of counselling to ensure that we have realistic objectives given the time frame.
Again there isn't a standard response I can give.
But my collaborative approach to counselling means that we will regularly reflect on how counselling is helping and eventually how you feel about ending.

I believe that for supervision to be effective, the supervisee needs to feel safe, supported in their work, and challenged in a way that allows them to grow and develop.
I offer a collaborative space in which I hope you will feel able to share both the positive and more difficult aspects of your work.
My preferred model for supervision is Hawkin's and Shohet's seven eyed model which encourages a multi-contextual view of client work.
Relevant contexts include the client's personal circumstances and systems of which they are a part, the relationship between client and therapist, the relationship between therapist and supervisor, the therapist's (and supervisor's) personal circumstances that may affect their work, legal and ethical frameworks, socio-cultural contexts, and the place in which the therapist works including policies and procedures.
