Ms Elissa Harris Counsellor

I'm Elissa Harris, a PACFA Registered Counsellor and Clinical EFT Practitioner. I hold a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy (ACAP). I work with trauma and complex PTSD, anxiety, stress and burnout, depression, emotional abuse recovery, relationship reactivity, chronic pain and sleep, grief, and developmental trauma. My approach combines counselling and psychotherapy with Clinical EFT — a somatic technique that works at the level of the nervous system, often reaching what insight alone hasn't. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Schema Therapy, all within a trauma-informed frame. The work is paced to your nervous system — never faster than feels safe — yet Clinical EFT often shifts things in fewer sessions than talk therapy alone. Sessions are available in person at Drop of Life, Burleigh Heads, and online via secure video.
