Ella Graj

Ella is a registered psychologist passionate about using a resilience-based approach to help those seeking support to improve their quality of life. Ella emphasises the development of a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship as the conduit through which therapeutic change can flow. She brings compassion and warmth to her work, and seeks to foster an environment in which clients feel safe, respected, and heard.

Ella is mindful of the humility, courage, financial and time investment involved in seeking psychological support, and is open to and welcomes client feedback.

She works within a client-led framework in which clients’ personal goals and values serve as the roadmap which direct the content, style, and pace of the therapeutic work.

Ella has experience working with adults, older adults, and young people, having worked in both private and public healthcare sectors with individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures. Ella is trained in a variety of robust evidence-based, trauma-informed cognitive-behavioural treatments. She is primarily guided by attachment-based perspectives, in which presenting concerns are viewed within a lens that appreciates the rich role of past and present interpersonal relationships.

Whilst specific treatments may include EMDR, parts-work, and somatic interventions, these are delivered in an integrated fashion that weaves between various modalities as guided by the preferences and psychological needs of the client.
