Ellie Cree – Counsellor

I’m a therapist working with individuals, intimate partners/couples, family members (two people), and friends. I offer a calm, thoughtful space to explore patterns, communication, boundaries, relationships and identity, with attention to how these show up in everyday life and in connection with others.

I see therapy as a shared investigation into the places people feel stuck, supporting them to notice and understand repeating patterns with curiosity rather than judgement. Often, these patterns develop over time and have roots in earlier experiences, relationships, and ways of coping that once felt necessary or protective. Therapy offers a space to gently explore where these patterns come from, how they continue to shape present-day relationships, and whether they are still serving you.

My approach is relational and collaborative, and I offer open-ended therapy, allowing the work to unfold in a way that feels responsive rather than time-limited. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and low mood or depression, supporting them to better understand themselves, their emotional responses and their patterns of relating, so that they can feel more grounded, clearer about their needs, and more able to move through their lives with a greater sense of agency and control.

I have a particular interest in relationships and identity, and in working with people whose experiences or relationship structures don’t always fit neatly into traditional boxes. This includes working affirmingly with non-monogamy, sexuality, queerness and relationship diversity. I support people navigating questions around intimacy, attachment styles, boundaries, consent and emotional safety, including those considering opening up relationships or already practising non-monogamy and wanting a thoughtful, non-pathologising space to reflect.

Alongside intimate partner work, I also support individuals who want to explore relational patterns outside of partner dynamics, as well as friends and family members seeking support with communication, conflict, or changing roles. Family work is offered for two people, where a focused and contained space feels most appropriate.

I aim to offer a space that feels steady, containing and non-judgemental, where complexity is welcomed and explored with care. You don’t need to arrive with clear answers or a fixed agenda; therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Sessions are available online and in London.
