Miss Ellie Bourne

Registered Social Worker

“UK trained offering English speaking therapy online. Offering IPT or EMDR- experience working with adolescents and adults predominantly exploring depression, trauma, attachment difficulties and emotional regulation. Experience providing therapy in UK National health service as well as South East Asia.”

About Me

I help adolescents and adults explore depression, trauma, and attachment difficulties. As a UK-trained Registered Social Worker, I offer online therapy, guiding you to understand emotional regulation. We can use approaches like EMDR to process past experiences. My experience, from the NHS to South East Asia, provides a broad, adaptable perspective. This makes me a good match for those seeking a grounded space to navigate complex feelings.

Approach

Having worked in both the NHS and South East Asia, I guide sessions that balance structured, time-limited focus with space for slower, attachment-aware exploration. From my Ankara base I offer online appointments conducted in English that feel steady and contained, with brief check-ins between sessions to notice small shifts. Sessions weave practical skill-building, paced processing for distressing memories, and tracking of relational patterns so change feels manageable. People seeking clear steps alongside compassionate challenge tend to find this way of working helpful.
