My name is Elanie and I am a compassionate and empathetic Counsellor/Psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting teenagers, adults, and couples. My approach is client-centered, providing a safe and supportive space for individuals and relationships to heal and grow. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma and PTSD. I help them process distressing memories, reduce emotional triggers, and regain a sense of control over their lives. My goal is to guide individuals toward healing, resilience, and long-term emotional well-being. I am also passionate about working with couples, helping them rebuild trust, strengthen emotional bonds, and navigate challenges such as conflict, communication breakdowns, and infidelity. I provide practical tools to help partners meet each other’s emotional and physical needs, fostering deeper connection and understanding. My therapeutic approach integrates EMDR, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Adlerian Therapy to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. This combination of evidence-based modalities ensures a holistic and effective healing process. As a registered provider with Bupa, Medibank, AHM, HCF, and the ARHG Group, I offer accessible therapy options for individuals and couples seeking professional support. Please note that I am not registered with Medicare and therefore you do not need a mental health plan form your doctor to see me. With a deep commitment to helping my clients heal and thrive, I provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where they can explore their concerns, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. Let’s work together to help you find healing and live a better and fulfilling life.

Compassionate Support for Healing & Growth: Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you anxious, depressed, or struggling to cope. If you’re facing challenges in your relationships, experiencing the pain of betrayal, or working through personal trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from marital issues, adultery, and emotional wounds while equipping them with the tools to rebuild trust and create a fulfilling future. At Better Life Counsellors, we use professional counselling and psychotherapy methods to address the root causes of emotional distress. Our approach fosters meaningful change—helping clients shift thought patterns, develop healthier perspectives, and take empowered action toward lasting well-being. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions with trust and support. Beyond healing past wounds, I also assist clients in discovering their true identity and purpose. Through practical life skills, empowerment, and guidance, I help my clients to do life better together.
