Elaine is wonderful. Although I haven’t seen a miraculous change, and I think there is still a lot for me to work through, I can feel subtle differences in my own behaviours and thought processes which I can only attest to her patience and respect. It’s great to be able to speak to her and know she will give me honest feedback on what the real route causes of my worries are.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I offer a confidential supportive and non-judgmental space. Where appropriate we can also explore the connection between your current situation and your past.
As an integrative counsellor I am able to incorporate different modalities working at your own pace. In our first session we will have the opportunity to talk about what brings you to counselling and decide whether to proceed and work together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
