Hello, I am Ellie Green.

My work as a therapist is deeply informed by lived experience, as over the course of my life I have encountered and worked through a wide range of life-changing physical and emotional challenges, including complex trauma, both as an individual and as a parent, which have shaped not only my resilience but also my capacity for empathy, nuance, and deep understanding.

I understand that life is rarely simple, and that people are complex, adaptive, and shaped by their circumstances. In our work together, I place strong emphasis on attunement, compassion, and nervous system safety—creating a space where your experiences are met with care and curiosity, never criticism, and where all parts of yourself are welcome.

I have lived and practiced in various areas of East Sussex, working in private practice and within multidisciplinary teams and have recently moved to build a new stage of life and practice in Hastings.

My experience, both personal and professional, has taught me that without deeply listening, engaging, holding, loving, and repairing, any trauma will live on and influence our choices, our internal and external relationships, our health and wellbeing and our ability to grow and to thrive, and to live life from a place of abundance, contentment, and joy.

My work is grounded in somatic, attachment-based, inner child, family systems, and parts-oriented approaches, with a particular focus on supporting women. Both personal and professional experiences have shown me that women often carry a great deal—emotionally, relationally, and physically—often while continuing to care for others, adapt, and push through.

In our work together, I place strong emphasis on attunement, compassion, and nervous system safety - creating a space where your experiences are met with care and curiosity, rather than criticism, and where all parts of you are welcome.

Trauma is not only held in our thoughts, but in our bodies, our relationships, and the protective strategies we develop in order to survive. When experiences are not deeply listened to, emotionally held, or met with safety and repair, trauma can continue to shape our choices, our sense of self, our relationships, and our health and wellbeing. Many women come to therapy feeling disconnected from their bodies, unsure of their needs, or carrying long-standing patterns rooted in early attachment and family systems.

Through a somatic lens, we gently explore how experiences live in the body. From an attachment and family systems perspective, we look at how relational patterns—past and present—continue to influence your life. Using parts work, we honor the different parts of you that have worked hard to protect and adapt, while supporting greater integration, agency, and self-trust.

This approach allows for healing that is embodied and relational, supporting women in reconnecting with themselves, strengthening boundaries, deepening relationships, and moving toward a life lived with greater clarity, resilience, contentment, and joy.
