Supporting Individuals Living with Chronic Illness, Pain & Complex Health Challenges
Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Elli spent nearly 20 years practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist, working closely with people navigating chronic pain, complex medical conditions, fatigue, and significant life transitions. This experience gives her a unique understanding of the emotional and physical impact that ongoing health concerns can have on individuals and their loved ones.
Trauma-Informed, Inclusive Care
Elli provides a welcoming space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity, compassion, and respect. She recognizes that our lives are shaped not only by personal experiences but also by broader social, cultural, and systemic influences. Her work acknowledges the ways identity, culture, gender, and societal structures can affect mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
Integrating Mind, Body & Personal Meaning
Drawing on both somatic and narrative therapy approaches, Elli helps clients reconnect with themselves by exploring how their stories and bodily experiences influence their present lives. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, she works collaboratively with clients to identify existing strengths, foster self-understanding, and support meaningful, sustainable change.
A Compassionate & Collaborative Therapeutic Style
Known for her thoughtful, grounded, and genuine approach, Elli encourages clients to reconnect with the resilience and inner resources they may have lost sight of during difficult periods. Together, they work toward greater clarity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of balance while honouring each person’s unique journey.
