Welcome to Ella's Therapies
About Ella's Therapies - (Which began as Ashby Counselling)
Our journey
We began as Ashby Counselling providing Integrative Counselling to treat the Mind; but had a realisation on our journey that this is only one aspect of ‘the self’ which needs soothing for long lasting empowering change.
Ella’s Therapies has very much been a progressive journey in the key realisation that there are three vital elements which must be considered in a person’s healing journey, which are:
The Mind: Looking at thought processes, early cognitions, core beliefs, patterns of behaviour etc (exactly what you expect in Psychotherapy & Counselling).
The Body: Identifying where you store your emotions which can become trapped or repressed internally, which can then cause actual physical pain and lead to physical ill health.
The Soul: How you relate to the world and people around you on a fundamental level. Your essence, vitality and what make you uniquely special.
We strongly believe that this is the way forward in relation to the future of talking therapies and are now designing treatments to bring in healing for all three aspects.
We are Mind, Body and Soul.
But how do you do that?
In regards to your Mind
We specialise in Integrative Counselling which is a combined approach to psychotherapy utilising different elements from psychodynamic, person centred and CBT theory. This allows us to look at your situation holistically and tailor our skills to best meet your needs as an individual!
In regard to your Body
We will identify where you feel pain, tension and where you carry those emotions that you don't want to process. We will then use massage to help your body recover and let go of those feelings.
In regard to your Soul
Using a mixture of Crystal healing, sound therapy and Reiki to sooth your soul and to empower your beliefs and the way you relate to the world around you. We are all made of energy and sometimes this gets blocked which stops you from being in the tune with life.
Our main therapist - Ella
Ashby Counselling was founded by Ella Ashby in 2018.
Ella began her training as a Person Centred Counsellor, but on her journey discovered Integrative Counselling which became her passion. She has a Master's Degree in Integrative Counselling and believes strongly that everyone should have access to good standard therapy.
In 2023 Ella had the realisation of The Mind, Body and Soul connection as she tried to heal herself in various ways going through divorce proceedings and having life massively change!
In 2024 Ashby Counselling was rebranded as Ella's Therapies to welcome this change in direction.
Ella's Therapies will go on to add different Therapies to their toolbox to promote more sustained healing for The Mind, Body & Soul.
