Ellie Pulley, NCPS

Ellie Pulley is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and a wide range of related life challenges. She recognises how daunting it can feel to reach out for help and understands the fear that can come with opening up; her work is grounded in creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

Her counselling style is warm, informal and interactive. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered principles to tailor sessions and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. When appropriate, she also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to broaden the range of tools available during therapy.

Ellie specialises in addressing addictions, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, domestic abuse, childhood and adult trauma, self-harm and many other concerns including grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleeping problems and career-related stress. Additional focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication and intimacy-related concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that denotes formal training in therapeutic practice. Ellie works with international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy around people’s lives. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and looks forward to supporting those ready to take that step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ellie uses a mix of well-established methods to help people work through emotional and behavioural challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the person’s own experience, offering an accepting, empathic space where goals and pace are set collaboratively to build self-understanding and confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and trust that develop from early relationships, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and trauma-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ellie works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the mix of tools as progress unfolds so treatment remains collaborative and responsive.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and differing life circumstances. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
