Hi, I’m Elissa…
& I offer support & guidance through counselling &
Clinical EFT (aka ‘tapping’)…

Blending Clinical EFT, with counselling and psychotherapy, my therapeutic approach fuses exposure, cognitive, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, to not only release stress and trauma from the body and mind but to foster a deeper connection with oneself and others. Welcome to the fourth wave of therapy, where we tap into your body’s innate wisdom to unlock true and lasting emotional freedom.

I am a PACFA-registered counsellor and certified Clinical EFT practitioner. My qualifications include a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy (ACAP). I am trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also draw from Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory.

I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, creating a safe and supportive space for growth. Whether you’re seeking emotional release, resilience, or self-awareness, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

My mission is to help you find peace, build resilience, and move forward with confidence. Whatever your journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
