Hi, I’m Ellen (she/her), therapist and founder of Birdie Counselling!
I support children, teens, and families using a warm, playful, and trauma-informed approach. I’m trained in child-focused EMDR, and I love weaving together EMDR with creativity, movement, and expressive tools so young people can feel safe, understood, and confident as they work through worries, stress, or tough experiences.
I often work with anxiety, trauma, grief, OCD, emotional regulation challenges, identity and self-esteem concerns, and the day-to-day overwhelm that can come with growing up. My goal is always to meet each child exactly where they are, with compassion, curiosity, and genuine connection.
I’m continually inspired by the strength and creativity of the kids and families I work with. One of my favourite parts of this work is watching young people discover their own bravery, bit by bit, and celebrating their successes — no matter the size!
