Fran Ellis

BA, PG Diploma, PG cert

I am a qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapist (EMDR) with over 23 years working in the field of mental health.

I specialise in treating women’s health issues which has included working with women and their partners in pregnancy and postnatal period. For many years I was working in the NHS in the community offering psychological therapies to treat birth trauma. For the last two years I have worked in a clinical health psychology setting in a hospital supporting maternity patients. Treating birth trauma was a large part of my work as well as psychological support to women with physical health issues in pregnancy and postnatally.

I use CBT and EMDR treatments, which are NICE approved treatments for birth trauma. I’m a parent myself and have my own lived experience of difficult births, loss and adjustments to becoming a parent. I offer a safe, nonjudgemental space with warmth, empathy and compassion to help you feel better as well as the tools to feel stronger.

I am currently providing therapy online and in person please do contact me via email address below. A first step would be to book an initial assessment to understand the challenges you are facing and a way forward with recommendations of treatment. I am registered psychotherapist with a number of private healthcare providers, if this option is available to you.
