About
With over a decade of experience in diverse therapeutic settings, I now offer therapy to clients in the UK and internationally through my growing private practice.
My background in addiction and complex trauma treatment has allowed me to work with individuals navigating some of the most profound and enduring psychological challenges. Today, I am available to support private clients worldwide, bringing a depth of experience to those seeking meaningful change.
What I offer
My approach is grounded in a person centered approach, with specialisation in somatic based therapy and trauma resolution. 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 support clients to accept and welcome all of themselves and tune into and nourish their inherent sense of self compassion and well being…. I will work to support you to position yourself in relationship to your self and circumstances in a way that is life affirming, and to thrive where your two feet are planted.
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 self compassion, connection well being and joy.
I use a variety of tools and modalities and tailor them to each individual client; their therapeutic goals, the time line of our work together and readiness to change.
I offer both short and long term therapy. I work in a culturally sensitive way, drawing from the modalities of Somatic psychotherapy; Psychoeducation, Ecopsychology, Trauma informed stabilisation, parts and integration work (including IFS work) and (for in person clients) Equine Facilitated Therapy.

Testimonials
“Elise was a delight to work with. She created a professional and relaxing environment to do her healing work with our employees. We receive glowing reviews from the employees who chose to participate, and we have already had requests to host another day with Elise. Via would be thrilled to invite her back in the future, and we would be thrilled to recommend her services to other organisations.” – Via
“Elise is an exceptional woman and practitioner who creates wonderfully warm, safe spaces where creativity, mindfulness, and a deep sense of connection can truly thrive. I’ve had the privilege of attending both her meditation circles and creative writing groups, and I wholeheartedly recommend both experiences.
Sharing space with others under Elise’s guidance is truly special. Her approach is characterized by extraordinary care, unwavering support and profound awareness. Full Boom Therapy is a genuine treasure for anyone living in or visiting the area—a place where growth and connection flourish.” – Naomi K, Actress
“I found Elise to be sincere, thoughtful and incredibly perceptive during our sessions. I have found her perspectives and ability to listen very valuable to my healing journey. The work I did together with Elise was a real turning point for me personally and professionally. Elise was welcoming, calm and super thoughtful in how she approached facilitating our work together. The transformation over the 9 months was incredible and allowed me to be focused, happy and positive and understand myself and my needs so much better. I use the exercises and topics we discussed daily. I would highly recommending meeting Elise and working together.” – A.H, Executive Leadership Coach
“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
“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
“I don’t understand what Elise does! but I continue to go back because it absolutely works! Somehow she has an ability to help me tap into a deep healing state that is hard to describe. It helps me feel grounded, alive, peaceful and healthy. I recommend her to friends often”. Seth Pearler – ‘renegade teacher turned Executive Function Expert Nerd’
“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 center manager
