ABOUT ELLEN

Connect Today!

Ellen Connell is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who has been working in the rehabilitation community in BC since 1987. She completed her Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Her thesis explored the experience of brain injury and how direct and indirect survivors make sense of their trauma and then move on from their injury to create a meaningful and satisfying life.

​

Ellen has developed several advances in the field of rehabilitation counselling (such as pain management, communication and assertiveness skills, group psychotherapy) for individuals affected by catastrophic injuries. Over time, Ellen has acquired specific expertise in working with individuals affected by physical, psychological and relational trauma. A believer in integrating the mind, brain, and body in the treatment of trauma, she is a board certified neurotherapist as well as a Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive yoga facilitator.

​

She is a Canadian Certified Rehabilitation Counsellor and offers support with the wide range of psychological, social, educational and vocational issues faced by individuals living with a physical and/or psychological disability. Ellen is a Fellow of the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America. She provides Neurotherapy as an adjunct to talk therapy in her work with trauma survivors. 

​

In addition to her work with those affected by complex trauma and catastrophic injuries, Ellen provides treatment for individuals, couples and families struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, adjustment, grief and loss. Working with Ellen, clients can access talk therapy, neurotherapy, and/or somatic, yoga based therapy.

​

As a professional with over thirty years of clinical experience, Ellen is pleased to offer supervision/mentorship to both students completing a graduate degree and clinicians wanting to continue their professional development, specifically in the areas of trauma, rehabilitation, and adjustment.

Counselling During Covid-19

​

I am accepting referrals of new clients and continuing to meet with existing clients.

​

Counselling sessions will take place either remotely or in person.

​

If you are feeling unwell, we can switch over to a virtual setting with short notice. 

​

While masks are no longer required, feel free to wear one in common areas of the office if that is more comfortable for you.

​

​Now more than ever it is essential that people receive the emotional and psychological support they need to safeguard their mental health. I can provide mental health support safely and to your comfort, using one of these modalities.
