Ellen Marais

I am currently available for online sessions and hold flexible hours - offering sessions from 8:00 am through to 7:00pm.

Weekends are available if necessary / an emergency. 

I hold a BA in Psychology and trained as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist at CCPE (2000-2005 MA degree), in London. On the back of the course, I trained as an EMDR Practitioner (under Alexandra Richman). 

I offer support and exploration from a holistic viewpoint (integrating mind, body, and spirit). Dream work and energetic body work are some of the tools that fall within the bracket of ‘Transpersonal.’

The core of my work, however, is person-centred. Each client determines the pace of the sessions and sometimes, simply having a safe, listening place to express is what is most needed; at other times, clients may wish to process their pain in more somatic ways, or they may wish to discover who they are ‘beyond the personal.’

Often, EMDR is suggested, which is a very grounded tool (particularly in cases of PTSD, though any minor or major trauma can be helped), that is great for shifting deeper emotional hurts and places of stuckness. This technique can be quite effective and cost efficient. 

I also hold an MA in Creative Writing, and offer narrative techniques as part of my practice. 

I hold complete confidentiality and respect in my online practice. 

The client’s pace takes centre. I see myself as travelling alongside each client’s journey, supporting self-insight and self-wisdom. 

Clients often comment that they can speak freely about painful and difficult experiences. They also feel they can shift at a very deep level, realise their purpose in life, and develop more compassionate relationships with themselves, and others. 

I am able to gently shine light on areas of wounding (as well as areas of strength, and ‘light’), and guide clients on how to tune into their innate healing abilities. 

Besides my private practice, I have worked for over twenty years with clients of all ages. A few roles have included: Education Support Worker for Ealing EBP, Holistic Therapist for The Priory, London, Student Counsellor at The University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. 

This year, I am drawn to expand my skills in somatic work. I will be undertaking a course from March 2025, training as a Conscious Connected Breathwork Practitioner. 

My sessions are held online, via Zoom or Microsoft Teams - or via Whats App Video. 

In our first session, we explore your therapy goals, and where you are currently at in terms of your health - emotionally, mentally, and physically. It is helpful to know both the content and context of your life from the outset, and to build trust. 

Clients are welcome to ask any questions about me and my practice, and to share whatever they wish to in the first (or any) session. 

I look forward to meeting you!
