COUNSELLING

COUNSELLING 

Working for myself allows me to not only assist you psychologically, but also guide you on a holistic level in which I am unable to do in mainstream counselling, whilst still honouring the importance of your psyche. i.e psychological functioning which is primarily what counselling is.

I use a range of evidence based integrative modalities combining CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), trauma informed care, mindfulness and along the way I teach you psychological education pertaining to your personal circumstances and behaviours that are relevant to your needs as an individual. I believe that education = power and my goal is to empower you rather than add to the already existing power imbalance dynamics that you unfortunately see a lot of within the unqualified therefore unethical "counselling" and "healing" community in recent times that has gained popularity due to under regulated social media platforms. 

I pride myself in the fact that I have spent several years at university studying human behaviour, counselling and psychology, and completed my degree, thus you can feel confident that you are in professional, ethical hands on every level. Especially where the sensitivity of confidentiality and vulnerability is regarded. 

The reason I'm passionate about psychology is because the mind is so powerful and once we gain an understanding of your subconscious and conscious barriers, limiting beliefs or trauma that has been impacting you, everything else begins to fall into place. Each person comes with a unique mindset thus, the counselling techniques that I apply will be established upon our first session and tailored throughout your counselling with me. Techniques chosen will always be tailored to suit each and every individual for the most successful outcome. 

Your Counsellor, Elly

I am an accredited counsellor and have trained with the Institute of Applied Psychology, Sydney. My philosophy is treating an individual as a whole as I believe that all parts of a person are interconnected and one cannot function at their full potential unless all parts of the mind, body and soul are integrated and treated as one.

Counselling in a nutshell is the process of professionally assisting an individual to make positive changes in their life, their relationships, their mind and behaviour. 

During my sessions whilst in mainstream counselling, it became evident that the energy field of clients would sometimes gather "memories". I then realised that sometimes further intervention such as hypnotherapy or energy work was necessary. However, working in mainstream counselling I was limited with what other forms of healing modalities I was able to suggest to clients, with my then role being governed by their own company policies. Therefore, I decided to combine my university qualification with my holistic qualifications to be able to assist clients on a deeper level. That's when Haus of Healing was born. 

I pride myself in my practise being ethical in every way. You will never leave my space "empty handed" in the respect that not only am I here to assist you in your healing journey to function at your full capacity, I am also here to provide you with your own tools to work with outside your counselling with me that can become lifelong coping strategies for you to heal yourself. 

There is a reason that I provide this extra touch with my work - apart from the fact that I am passionate in my practise - I am genuine and ethical in what I do. Therefore, I want to empower you to become the best version of yourself because I want you to be able to sustain your healing journey independently without the need of counselling after the course of your therapy. You will know within yourself when this time comes and  I will support your decision whenever this time comes.

Whilst I'm here to assist and support you on your healing as frequently as you wish, I believe that the best therapist's will also give you the tools and confidence you need to continue to heal yourself whilst coaching you along the way until you feel you don't need my service anymore. The truth is that you hold the capacity deep within you to heal, to grow, to glow, to level up. I am here to help you unlock that potential and power within you. An ethical practitioner understands that we as practitioners do not heal you. We empower you to heal yourself for it was you who brought yourself this far, to this website, to enquire about healing, thus, you are the one with the power to heal yourself.
