Ella Shtaingos

Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist

In-Person & Online Therapy & Counselling sessions £60

Thank you for visiting my page. I am clinical integrative psychotherapist, accredited by UK council of Psychotherapy and NCPS.
I support clients going through life challenges. I offer a confidential and safe space to discuss whatever is worrying you. The stress of modern life often generate negative emotions such as anxiety, anger and frustration contributing to psychosomatic symptoms like chronic back pain and physical issues like obesity, inflammation and immune disfunction.
Therapy can restore balance to the body’s stress response, calm an agitated mind, relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.

My journey to therapy
I decided to train as a therapist later in life after experiencing chronic back pain. At that time, I was working as a tour guide but had to stop because I was struggling to walk. Through therapy, I discovered that the root cause of my back pain was emotional. This experience made me interested in psychosomatic symptoms.
For me, therapy is about feeling good. We all encounter challenges in daily life because we are vulnerable human beings, but therapy can change how we feel. It can be a deeply meaningful and inspirational experience.

My training
I completed a five-year training programme at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London. I am accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy and committed to continuous professional development through training, workshops, and research.
I completed a secondment at Caravan, a drop-in and phone counselling service offering support to anyone in need.
I have also worked with the charity HomeStart, providing transformative, non-judgemental, compassionate, and confidential support to families with young children, and at Freshstart, where I offered affordable, long-term psychotherapy for issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement, and low self-esteem.

I practise Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapy.
My sessions are based on an integrative approach that combines a range of therapeutic tools, allowing me to tailor the process to each client’s unique needs. I support clients with warmth, empathy, and a non-judgemental space in which they can safely explore their inner experience and feel truly seen.

My own mental health
For my own mental health I walk regularly and practise yoga and meditation. I also love travelling and exploring faraway places.

Working in London
I work in London, one of the most ethnically diverse and multicultural cities in the world, with no single majority group. It is a place where cultures, traditions, and languages from across the globe come together, creating a uniquely dynamic environment.
This diversity shapes my experience as a therapist, allowing me to work with clients from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

My consultation rooms:
My consultation room is not just a physical space. It is part of the therapeutic process, carefully designed to support healing.
The room’s light and calming colours are chosen to promote a sense of peace and focus.
