Ellen Van Der Klauw

I offer all my clients a safe, professional, non-judgemental and confidential environment in which they can explore any past or present issues.

 With my CBT work I offer evidence based interventions adapted to each individual's needs and have experience of working with many different issues such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, grief, stress, abuse and post traumatic stress disorder.

I have 12+ years experience of working in the NHS as a CBT therapist and I also have many years experience working as a counsellor and CBT therapist in private practise. In addition to this, I worked for several years for charities specialising in bereavement (Cruse bereavement care), children (Childline), sexual violence (CSVSS) and mental health issues (MIND). I have also worked as a counsellor at a University. 

 I am fully committed to continuing professional development and hold a wide range of additional certificates from counselling and CBT related workshops. Every year I complete safeguarding children and adult training and  I have an up to date enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) Certificate.

I offer free 15 minutes introductory calls to prospective clients, to give them the opportunity to ask any questions they may have before deciding if they would like to arrange an appointment.
