Ellen Houston Therapy — Psychotherapist in Edinburgh, Scotland

I follow Ellen on instagram and have done one of her remote women's circles. I really recommend her for anyone looking to get some guidance on being more reflective and/or bringing more calm and clarity into your life. Ellen has such a gentle, soothing disposition and guides the time you have with her with journalling prompts/questions/meditations that open up thoughts & awareness from new perspectives.

I attended the Secret Garden Circle and it was such a beautiful and healing experience. Ellen guided us through a meditation to start and i felt so held and supported through the experience. I felt alot shift for me emotionally very quickly and Ellen had a tender and loving energy that i felt throughout this experience. I have attended circles before, but once again i was in awe by everyones shares and was reminded again how much we are all connected. Forever grateful for this space that was provided and i look forward to coming again! <3

Lovely person and great professional, Ellen has an instinctive way to connect. She is able to create a space of security and calmness where I feel free to share. I couldn’t recommend her work more.

Would highly recommend Ellen! She is knowledgeable, gentle, kind and deeply grounded in her work & "THE WORK". She has a way of softly guiding you in the direction of personal transformation and my experience in the Alignment Group was just wonderful in so many ways. She's a gem and I would highly recommend working with her if you get the chance!

It was such an empowering experience to work with Ellen. I initially joined her group alignment sessions and decided to carry on with 1-1s. Over a 4 month period, I saw my outlook on life completely transform. I started to feel so much more in tune with what brings me value and joy and was able to be more intentional and confident about maximising those aspects. Ellen's science based approach meant that I was able to understand the 'why' and 'how' behind all of the techniques used in our sessions - and even 1 year later I am able to return to those tools whenever I find myself returning to old patterns of self-doubt or self-critique. Ultimately though, Ellen has an amazing ease in creating safe 'containers' for self growth and it was amazing to experience this through both the group coaching and 1-1 sessions. Ellen has a warm and relatable presence, and I felt supported to learn, try, question and grow.

I joined Ellen's 2021 alignment group. Ellen was extremely professional and friendly, and shared some extremely useful resources. Her passion for what she teaches and shares really shines through, I always looked forward to the sessions. I made some great friends in the group and would recommend it to my closest friends!

My time working with Ellen was amazing. It yielded a series of breakthroughs in the ways that I think, feel and act, that helped me start to see the world and my place in it in a whole new way. Ellen is so good at creating and holding space, so open, warm and empathetic. She invites intimacy and vulnerability without pushing it upon anyone. I would really recommend working with her, particularly for anyone who is feeling stuck in patterns of behaviour or thought and wants to break out of them - Ellen gives you the tools to do so, to remember your own agency and power and choice. Her mantra of 'choosing your hard' is now one that I live by.

If I could leave more stars I would. I joined one of Ellen's alignment groups last year and the transformation I experienced was wonderful. She's professional and has a wealth of knowledge. I learnt and understood many tools to help me approach my life with more ease and calm. Highly recommend. Thank you Ellen!
