Ellie Simpson Therapy Counselor Chichester

Ellie Simpson Therapy – Counsellor in Chichester

About

At the heart of Ellie Simpson’s work lies a deep passion for supporting adults and young people through emotional and psychological challenges. Based in Chichester, Ellie offers both face-to-face and online therapy sessions, making support more accessible for clients across various settings.

Holding a BA (Hons) Degree in Humanistic Counselling & Psychotherapy, Ellie’s practice is grounded in a humanistic framework. Her approach is warm, collaborative and client-focused. She places great emphasis on understanding each person’s unique perspective and values, encouraging exploration of both specific issues and broader themes such as identity, self-worth, and relationships. Ellie believes therapy is not something done to a person, but something experienced with them. That philosophy underpins her belief that each client is the true expert of their own life.

Ellie also recognises the needs of younger clients. For those who may find a full 50-minute session overwhelming, she offers 30-minute emotional support sessions to help ease them gently into the therapeutic process.

Services Ellie Simpson Therapy Counselor

Ellie supports clients across a broad range of emotional and psychological areas. Her services include:

• One-to-one counselling for adults and young people

• Face-to-face and online sessions

• Shorter 30-minute emotional support sessions for young people, when appropriate

• Therapy informed by trauma-sensitive practices

• LGBTQ+ inclusive counselling, with support for clients exploring gender identity and sexuality

• Use of the Rewind Technique for clients dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

In all cases, Ellie tailors her therapeutic approach to suit each client’s circumstances and preferences. Her trauma-informed work is particularly effective for those who have experienced difficult or distressing events in either childhood or adulthood. She works with great care to ensure that clients feel safe, heard, and supported throughout the process.

Ellie is also committed to using specific, evidence-based methods when necessary. For example, she employs the Rewind Technique to help relieve symptoms of trauma and PTSD. This targeted approach can significantly reduce flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, helping clients reclaim a sense of calm and control.
