Are you and your partner feeling distant, stuck in the same arguments, or more like housemates than a couple? Or are you carrying something on your own that feels too heavy to keep managing alone?
I'm Elaine, a counsellor in Mont Albert North, VIC, and I work with couples and individuals across Melbourne's East, including Box Hill, Balwyn, Surrey Hills, and Camberwell.
I work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdown, infidelity, the transition to parenthood, marital stress, and divorce.
I also see individuals carrying anxiety, depression, or life transitions they can't seem to shift.
I draw on the Gottman Method for couples, as well as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches for individuals. These methods are chosen because they focus on real patterns not just surface fixes.
Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, life transitions or the impact of trauma, I can help you make sense of it.
I bring over 14 years of professional and lived experience to this work. I know that reaching out can feel like a big step and because of this, just know that you don't need to have everything figured out before we start. If you're ready to feel less alone with what you're carrying, I'd love to hear from you.
