Professional Counselor Elly Prior Has Created Down-to-Earth Dating Resources to Help People Navigate Personal …
Ange was going through a difficult time when she stumbled upon Elly Prior’s website, Professional Counselling. “My recent meltdown led me to find you,” Ange wrote in a thank-you note to the seasoned therapist. “I’ve only read a few pages of your website, and I love it.”
Elly’s website is full of informational resources on how to cultivate better relationships, better endings, better moods, and better dating lives.
Ange said she didn’t feel comfortable talking to a counselor about her problems, so she appreciated having a place where she could browse, learn, and grow anonymously. The website’s free advice articles gave her the encouragement and insight she needed to move forward.
Since 2001, Elly has shared straight-to-the-point dating and relationship advice with an ever-growing online audience.
Elly ran a private therapy practice for 22 years, and, now she continues to provide counseling thanks to her website.
Professional Counselling is an authoritative resource at the intersection of relationships and mental health. Elly has compiled decades of professional knowledge in clear, step-by-step articles. She deftly educates and advises readers struggling to deal with emotional issues, including infidelity, alcoholism, dependency, depression, and PTSD.
Elly uses a conversational tone to identify why people are hurting and what they can do to resolve their feelings, repair their relationships, and cultivate a healthier frame of mind.
“I want to deliver the very best advice,” she said. “I want to connect with my audience and make it personal. I want my audience to see who I am and what I stand for.”
Articles & Videos Deliver Practical Relationship Advice
Professional Counselling has branded itself as a “mind and relationship guide” for partners of all ages, orientations, and backgrounds. While 70% of readers are women, Elly said she has seen a steady increase in the number of men looking for answers on her site. She gives practical and easy-to-understand advice that works for both men and women. Anyone who wants to maintain a healthy relationship can go on the website and read up on what they can do to let go of their baggage and reach their goals.
Elly can help readers identify the symptoms of a nervous breakdown or recover from a breakup. She can counsel partners through rough patches or support singles after a divorce. She dives deep into these complex issues and makes them feel a little less complicated.
“I don’t use high-brow terms,” she told us. “I use plain language and speak as if the person is sitting across from me.”
Her compassionate and down-to-earth tone is a great comfort to readers facing difficulties and worrying that there’s something wrong with them. Again and again, Professional Counselling reinforces the idea that there’s nothing so wrong that people can’t fix.
If a reader is in a serious crisis, Elly recommends that he or she seek affordable online counseling, so they can do the one-on-one work that leads to lasting breakthroughs.
In the next year, Elly plans to create more video content for her website and thereby make her counseling more engaging and personal. The videos will answer common questions readers have posed on her website, and she will also address dating and relationship issues she has dealt with in her therapy practice.
“As a therapist, I could see no more than 20 clients per week,” she said. “Now, just think how many people I can reach online. There’s no limit to that.”
In the Works: A Forum for Divorcees Over 50
Elly is on a mission to give everyone access to qualified counseling and mental health information. She has built her website to serve as a one-stop shop that can answer questions, address concerns, and recommend holistic solutions. Clients can learn on their own time and at their own pace with the support of a professional and highly-qualified counselor.
As you can see from Elly’s testimonials, Professional Counselling has had a positive impact on the lives of many people. “I just feel the need to let you know that I am in awe of the work you do here,” said Charlie. “Thank you so much for being a wonderful and caring person. The world needs more people like you!”
“Thank you so much for being a wonderful and caring person. The world needs more people like you!” — Charlie, one of Elly’s readers
The positive feedback has spurred Elly to continue creating helpful resources for singles and couples in need.
By producing more and more content, Elly hopes to increase her influence and speak to an audience that is often neglected in the dating industry. She told us her readership currently skews younger, around 18 to 40, and she sees tremendous opportunity for growth by attracting Baby Boomers who have been through a divorce and are ready to make a change.
“I cannot believe how much I have improved, and I really would not have been able to get through it without your help.” — Katie, one of Elly’s former clients
Furthermore, by partnering with Better Help, Elly can direct her visitors to resources that can help singles identify their negative dating patterns, stop repeating the same mistakes, and seek healthier relationships in the future.
“On the whole, I think anyone can benefit from Professional Counselling,” she told us. “I don’t have a specific goal on my to-do list, but I’d like to make myself available on Patreon and create a structured forum for clients and see where I can go with that.”
Elly Offers Professional Insights With a Personal Touch
Elly continues to guide singles and couples with therapeutic and compassionate advice. She has made her professional knowledge and experience accessible to a vast online audience, and many people have written her to say thanks.
Professional Counselling is a constructive resource where anyone in an emotional crisis can seek professional assistance. The website provides a safe and nonjudgmental space to ask questions and discover answers. A library of free articles empower readers to tackle their personal problems and overcome obstacles so they can live their best life.
Elly’s authoritative content gets to the heart of mental health and relationship issues, which she discusses with professionalism and sensitivity.
“You seem gentle in your approach. I guess it kinda surprised me,” Ange said in her testimonial. “I imagine your website to have helped many people, from your tone alone.”
How To Get Through Calling Off An Engagement
But it’s both their whirlwind romance and the fact that so many people have been following their relationship, week-by-week, that will likely make calling the engagement off more emotionally difficult for Grande and Davidson. But calling off a wedding is hard no matter what, and it can be even more difficult when the relationship was short and intense, says Guy Winch, PhD, a psychologist and author of How to Fix a Broken Heart. When a couple has a whirlwind romance, their feelings have been burning brightly for their whole relationship and it can be devastating to come down from that high.
Boyfriend Has Something to Hide
Dear Annie: I have a question and hope your advice will make me see the light. I have been dating and living with my boyfriend off and on for 12 years. We currently are living together. I have left a couple of times throughout the course of the 12 years because he was on dating sites and I found out. We just recently got back together, and he told me that he’s no longer on dating sites because they aren’t free. I found on his phone that he has an account on one site, but it is private.
Also, he tells me that though he loves me, he does not want to get married — that he likes our living arrangement the way it is. But I swear he hides things. He does crazy things, and he gets defensive when I question him. He hides his phone sometimes and will go on his phone after I go to bed. I honestly don’t know what to think or do. He does come home from work every night, but I work Monday through Friday, and he has a day off during the week. Every week on this day, he turns his phone off all day. When I text, he doesn’t text back. Whenever I ask what he did that day, he says nothing, but he goes out to lunch all dressed up like a single man.
One day when I came home, it looked as if a woman had been in the house. A picture of us together had been moved. I asked him why it had been moved, and he said he had been looking at it. It looked like a heavy frame. Also, our bedroom clock is always turned sideways. I need advice. — Confused in Texas
Dear Confused: I can’t say for certain that he’s been unfaithful, but it does seem as though he’s hiding something. And if he’s cheated on you before, your intuition is most likely highly attuned to the warning signs. So listen to that little voice inside your head. Don’t let fear of change drown it out. I know it’s hard to leave someone after so long, but staying would be so much harder on you in the long term. Tigers’ stripes, leopards’ spots, cheaters’ ways — some things never change.
Dear Annie: To “Better Late Than Never?” — the man who asked you whether it’s too late for him to go to college — the answer is it’s never too late. I decided to go to college when I was 40. It took a little longer because I had to work full time and attend classes at night, but I did it, and it was absolutely worth it! “Better Late Than Never?” may be able to get credit for life experience and/or take CLEP exams to get out of having to take some courses. Because I had never attended college before, I qualified for help on tuition that was a “gift” that I didn’t have to pay back. This man can do a little research, find a college that he thinks would be right for him and meet with a counselor. You go, guy! — Been There, Done That
Dear Been There, Done That: Congratulations! I’m printing your words of encouragement not just for “Better Late Than Never?” but for any adult wondering about getting a degree later in life. Thank you.
