/ About Me /
Hi, I’m Ella
The counsellor behind ESJ Counselling.
I became a counsellor because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure where to turn. I also know how powerful it can be to have someone really listen – not to fix or judge, but just to be there. That’s why I do this, to offer that space for others, whether you’re an adult trying to cope with life’s pressures or a young person feeling stuck or confused.
From early on, I found myself drawn to understanding people’s emotions – especially the ones that feel hard to explain. Over time, that grew into a passion for helping others make sense of their feelings and feel more in control of their own story. I truly believe that, with the right support, everyone has the strength to grow and heal – even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
