Trauma informed Psychotherapist and Wellness Practitioner

What I offer

My approach is grounded in a person centered approach, with specialisation in somatic based therapy and trauma resolution and as and where appropriate integrates traditional wisdom and healing practices, larger systems theory (studying the social and individual impacts of culture). I believe that we heal and evolve as a collective, and that our individual healing is part of the collective healing and vice versa. 

I work to support clients to accept and welcome all of themselves, and all of their experience; and tune into their inherent sense of self compassion, connection and wellbeing…. Essentially I support you to position yourself in relationship to your self: your past, present and future: in a way that is life affriming, and to thrive where your two feet are planted, at any given moment.

I love sharing tools and information that change the way we think, feel and relate: enriching and transforming our sense of self, relationships, lives and society. 

In my career I have helped individuals and organisations to depathologise, understand and resolve the impact of individual and systemic trauma in their lives; and befriend and dance with their innate capacity for loving presence, peace and contentment.  

My goal as a practitioner is to support you to identify and inhabit your strengths, find your own solutions, live and love more fully, honouring what you value and construct a creative, compassionate and empowering frame to hold yourself and circumstances within.

“Extremely sensitive and refined practice that accurately pinpoints schemes, facts… and respectfully touches to one’s heart” -Agnes, Coach and HR

“I have benefited hugely from my sessions with Elise. She is a very caring and empathetic practitioner, who manages to give you the time and space to fully relax and feel listened to at a very deep level. She gently encourages you to focus on inner listening, and steers you to a state of enhanced self awareness of your own body and feelings, allowing healing to take place. You leave feeling refreshed and restored in a very fundamental way, more at peace with the world and with your self, on a physical emotional and spiritual level” Sarah – EFL Teacher 

“Elise creates the most wonderful space…She listens to me with all of her senses and is able to tap into exactly what I need. A true gift that I highly recommend”.  Sara -Yoga teacher and centre manager

“I came to Elise after I had been experiencing pain and tightness in my neck. As a graduate student, I am one of the many who notice a shift in physical comfort as the result of the long hours of writing and the pressure of maintaining an often packed coursework schedule. Her peaceful, warm demeanour creates an energy of lightness around her and I instantly felt safe and comforted in her presence. She gently guided me in communicating what I was experiencing throughout the session and masterfully altered her movements to attend to my body’s direction. We were like a team, listening to the cues of my body and bringing light attention and pressure to the spots that wanted release. I feel like she helped me to sense, accept and love my body more deeply! My neck pain and back pain diminished considerably, but, more importantly, I slept so deeply that night and awoke with a feeling of softness and ease in my shoulders. I will highly recommend a healing session with Elise to anyone seeking greater emotional and physical balance”. – Ellie, Preschool Teacher 

“Your perception, sensitivity, and skillful care comes as much from the heart as from very real intelligence and training. This makes for great understanding of your clients and their conditions. Apart from a real benefit felt after a session with you- a feeling of somewhat greater harmony and balance – there is a feeling of social wellbeing too. I find these sessions and my work with you very special”. Alistair, Architect
