Hi, my name is Elyssa. I chose to become a counsellor because I have benefitted from counselling as a client, and because I genuinely like and care about people.
My intention is to offer a welcoming space where you can be yourself and share your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I enjoy supporting people who are navigating life transitions, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, struggles with shame and self-worth, and other human challenges. I also enjoy supporting people who use psychedelics to prepare for and integrate their experiences.
When working with me, you can expect to be treated with kindness and respect. I use an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach rooted in Adlerian psychology to help you recognize your strengths, practice resourcing strategies, and improve your relationships with yourself and others. Depending on your values, needs and wishes, we may address physical, psychological, social and existential/spiritual aspects of your well-being.
You’re welcome to book a free meet and greet with me to see if you might like to work together. I would be happy to chat with you and answer any questions you might have.

I believe healing is a collaborative venture; you can expect to find in me a therapist that is compassionate, non-judgmental and transparent. My approach is one that uses curiosity to explore, understand and appreciate you wholly – your unique story.
I incorporate various therapeutic approaches all of which hold clients in the highest regard. Narrative therapy offers an approach that is collaborative in spirit and explores the root of ‘problem stories’ that can often find us stuck in one narrative.
We all have stories, we created them! They are beneficial as they help us to explain and understand our past and our present experiences. These stories uncover our beliefs and values, they help to shape and influence our lives – most importantly they contribute and influence the development of our future.
Let’s discover together how to alter the current narrative, by leaving behind the elements in our stories that are no longer valuable to us, cause us harm or excessive stress. Through this intentional change we can now create internal space to bring in helpful elements that will instead provide a healthier, calmer and flourishing future.
I have over 14 years of experience working and volunteering with diverse communities. I have had tremendous opportunity and vast experience counselling clients in the areas of mental health wellness, specifically addressing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, disordered eating, and substance / behavioural concerns.
