Psychotherapy in Didsbury & Chorlton

Compassionate Psychotherapy in Didsbury and Chorlton, Specialising in Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Motivation & Relationships

Emotional clarity, confidence, and connection – so you can feel more like yourself again

I’m Ella Holland, a BACP-registered Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being. I believe that we all carry the potential for deep connection, meaning, and growth within us—but life doesn’t always make it easy to access. Whether it’s the weight of past experiences, current struggles, or unhelpful patterns that keep repeating, you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer psychotherapy within a warm, grounded, and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe enough to be curious about yourself—your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life experiences. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy and honesty, helping you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, and supporting you to reconnect with your sense of agency, self-worth, and clarity.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or as though they’re repeating the same painful cycles. Others come simply needing a space to be heard and accepted. Psychotherapy can be a powerful place to pause, reflect, and feel deeply met by another human being—creating space for healing and lasting change.

My approach is integrative, with a foundation in Transactional Analysis (TA)—a theory of personality and communication that helps us understand how we relate to ourselves and others. TA explores the patterns we develop in childhood that can shape how we think, feel, and behave in the present. It brings awareness to these patterns so that we can choose new ways of being, build healthier relationships, and live with more freedom and authenticity.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns you want to shift, the relationships that shape your world, and the story you’re ready to rewrite. Whether you’re facing a particular challenge or are simply curious about yourself, I offer a space where you can be real, be seen, and begin to grow—at your own pace. 

I welcome clients from across Manchester, Stockport, and Cheshire, including Didsbury, Chorlton, The Heatons, and Cheadle. Sessions are available both in person and online to suit your schedule and preferences.

If you’re ready to take the next step or have any questions, feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you.
