welcome.
Hi I’m Ellie! I live and work in Leyton, East London; a little corner of the world that I call home and happen to be in love with. I’m married to my wonderful husband Tom and have three gorgeous girls all currently under the age of 3! Olive our eldest is in full time nursery and I look after our twins Indi & Ivy full time, alongside running a new and growing Enneagram business. As an Enneagram 7 it’s always been the case that I’ve thrived off juggling more than one job and the same could not be truer now!
Over the years I have loved (and continue to love!) making coffee, studying, counselling, pastoring and mentoring young adults, exploring my own faith and of course, the Enneagram.
My Enneagram journey…
I am fortunate enough to have been introduced to the Enneagram by my Mum when I was 19. We used the Riso & Husdon test which we found in their book The Wisdom of the Enneagram, to discover my type and it didn’t take long! At age 19 I was a glaringly obvious Type 7 and it felt like someone had just taken all of my complexities, nuances, gifts, behaviours, secret fears and ways of thinking and written them in a book. At the time, as a typical 7 would, I saw all of the things that might cause me to trip up and laughed about them and loved all the things that make 7s likeable.
Life wasn’t always roses as a teenager, I’d had an eating disorder but following this I had very good therapy and a relatively care free early 20s. It wasn’t until my mid 20s; after I graduated Uni, moved to London, got married, got a serious job in the City and my parents divorced that life got a bit more serious and I started having panic attacks that my Mum wisely said to me, ‘Ellie - I think you ought to look at your Enneagram type’.
This is one of the best gifts and pieces of wisdom my Mum has given me and is the reason why I trained as an Enneagram Practitioner and Coach. It’s also why I want you to discover not just what your Enneagram Type is, but how understanding yourself through this model can be so uniquely transformative. I truly believe that it will help you live your life in full colour, transforming every facet of your life, helping you become more and more into the person God created you to be.
I hope that this excites you as much as it excites me!

What People Are Saying
“I had a great Enneagram Typing session with Ellie and came away from it with a better understanding of what motivates me. The interview was really informal and Ellie had lots of insight into the different personality types and how they interact.”
— Akhil, Finance Professional
‘This was such a valuable experience – Ellie has a naturally inquisitive and gentle style that keeps the coaching warm and conversational but full of direction. I felt like it generated lots of questions that I could go away and ponder, and Ellie sent follow up resources that were really helpful for guiding this thought process. I loved the opportunity to collaboratively think about some of my own thought patterns and interactions with others, and Ellie asked specific and tailored questions to help me unpack the motivations behind them. I would absolutely recommend!’
— Ella, Spear lead coach
