Currently accepting new clients. Elke is offering telehealth psychological services (via videoconferencing and telephone). With more than 20 years of experience, she has worked with people from all walks of life. Working collaboratively, she takes a client-centred approach to help individuals identify and make the changes required to achieve their goals. Elke has an accepting and non-judgemental manner. Her friendly and warm approach facilitates openness as people explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe space. Her practices are trauma focused and Elke is an LGBTIQA+ affirming practitioner.
Telehealth services are available to adults who may be experiencing a range of psychological difficulties. These include: anxiety, panic attacks, worry and perfectionism, social anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, assertive communication, childhood trauma, personality disorders, past sexual assault, and low self-esteem.
You will be treated respectfully as we work collaboratively to achieve your goals. By utilising mindfulness and self-compassion principles, I aim to help people develop a deeper understanding of themselves and greater capacity for self-acceptance. When we can be kind and accepting towards ourselves and others, we move towards experiencing peace of mind.
