Welcome
If you're seeking holistic, personalised mental health support,
I can help you.
Just like Tall Trees, every human knows how to grow,
and will thrive given the right conditions.
​
Hello, I'm Elja (El-ya)
My approach to therapy is personalised, grounded in the philosophy that we are all just human and sometimes we need help to sort through the weeds.
The work we will do is creative, collaborative and connected to your needs - you know your life best!
I strive to create a genuine, supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to work through change.
​
​
I hold a Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy and am registered as a certified practising counsellor with PACFA.
Services
I offer individual counselling for people aged 18 years or over.
Sessions are 60 minutes and available via video call, or in person at my private consulting room amongst tall trees in Mount Barker, the Adelaide Hills.
How I work:
I take a holistic person-centred approach where each session looks different for each person. Based on your needs, I draw from theories such as Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Expressive/Art Therapy.
I can help you with:
-
Worry/anxiety
-
Feeling low
-
Self-critical thoughts
-
Increasing motivation
-
Building confidence
-
Stress and overwhelm
-
Loss or sadness
-
Feeling disconnected or lonely
-
Family or relationship challenges
-
Life purpose or transitions
-
Spiritual/existential challenges
Individual Counselling Fee: $140

Referrals:
I accept referrals from health care providers, however this is not necessary. New clients can refer themselves at any time and do not require a mental heath care plan. As a psychotherapist I am not able to offer Medicare rebates. Fees are not currently claimable by private health insurance policies. ​​

Consulting Hours:
Tues/Weds/Thurs 10am - 6.30pm:
