Philosophy & Vision
My mission as a counsellor is to support and empower clients to overcome difficult life situations, manage life transitions and other challenges such as Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, and low self-esteem.
I believe that the client and counsellor relationship developed in the counselling process can assist in regulating emotions, gain greater insights, confidence and the ability to view things from a different perspective. This lets the client begin to create a new story.
Background
My journey as a counsellor started about ten years ago, I believe the helping professions such as counselling are ignited by personal experiences and the desire to make a difference in self and others. Sometimes we have to face difficult experiences to find our purpose, that is my experience.
For the past five years I have been working with vulnerable people suffering from mental illness, as well as loneliness, isolation, domestic violence, childhood experiences, trauma, relationships conflicts, which I believe is almost always the source of the challenges or suffering in humanity.
Services
I work collaboratively in a safe and confidential space where my clients can share their challenges or life situations without judgement. My aim as a counsellor is to help clients progress from being unable to cope with their situations, to find ways they can cope and improve their situation.
Quality Provision
I use evidence-based approaches that promote strength and resilience, create balance and reduce stress. These approaches include Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Self-compassion, Mindfulness, trauma-informed, Psychoeducation, and Spiritual guidance. Every client is unique and Elsa supports each person according to their individual needs.

Therapy Approach
What I bring to my practice is my professional training, my years of experience in working with vulnerable people, my personal experiences that provided me with wisdom and my Spiritual teachings. I believe that when I am working I am standing on the shoulders of all the teachers who's intentions were to improve the quality of life of human beings.
My counselling approach encompasses the whole person, I believe that the individual is not the problem, there are several factors to take in consideration before assuming or make an assessment about a person mental, physical and psychological state. Therefore, I like learning about the whole person, and working alongside other professionals, I treat every client as an individual.
