There Is Nothing Wrong With You <3. We all have certain traits that can either benefit us or hinder us. This all depends on the circumstance and how aware we are of which trait is behind the wheel in any given moment. Your Vigilance keeps you safe, but when it is always taking the driver’s seat your nervous system becomes taxed. Your people pleasing makes you feel valued and it’s good to care about the people around you. However, having clear boundaries makes for more authentic relationships and stops you from burning out. I’m not interested in trying to "fix" you, but I would love to support your path to self-awareness.

In private practice Elissa works with clients who talk about having increased difficulty in coping with their daily lives for an array of reasons. Clients often say that they had been managing previously but additional stressors have been more than they could cope with on their own resulting in a deterioration in their overall mental health. Elissa also works with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply, in the hope of improving the relationship they have with themselves and others.

Are you struggling with your life and feel you might have unresolved issues, trauma, relationship or neurodiversity challenges or managing family dynamics/adoptee/grief and loss, bereavement or cultural issues? LGBTQIA+ needs that aren’t being seen or understood? A good counsellor will allow you space to talk, guide you gently along your journey and provide safety and non judgement to explore what can be achieved. This is the foundation of my practice - always from a trauma informed perspective.

I am a registered psychologist who prioritises authenticity, trust and non-judgement. I am committed to providing opportunities for you to show up to therapy as yourself, and engage in genuine self-expression and exploration. I believe these aspects of therapy are so fundamentally important in creating meaningful change (both inside and outside of the therapy room!). I use strengths-based and person-centered approaches, meaning I approach therapy collaboratively and draw on a range of evidence-based psychological treatments in order to tailor treatment to your specific strengths and needs.

I believe you are the expert on your own life and I enjoy collaborating with clients to evoke meaningful change. I can assist clients who are experiencing: stress, anxiety, depression, women's health issues (coping with endometriosis, fibroids, fertility and other reproductive health concerns), life transitions, grief and loss, addiction and substance use issues, and relationship concerns.

I intend to bring a warm and compassionate approach with my clients, aiming to cultivate a collaborative and safe space for the expression of each individual’s unique needs. My particular interests range between adjustment to challenging life circumstances, low self-esteem, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, anxiety-related issues (i.e. stress, social anxiety, and generalised anxiety disorder), autism, trauma, depression, and mood disorders. I migrated from Spain in 2017 therefore can offer counselling sessions in English, Spanish and Catalan.
