Registered Clinical Counsellor

Complex Health & Chronic Pain Support

Elli enters the counselling profession after almost two decades of working as an RMT with a focus on assisting clients through complex health issues. She is experienced in supporting clients and their caretakers through life-changing conditions, acute illness and chronic pain and fatigue syndromes.

A Culturally Diverse & Inclusive Framework

Elli aims to help clients better understand their stories within a framework honouring cultural diversity and enduring gender, ethnicity, and class-based power structures. In today’s fast-paced, disconnected world, it is easy to lose sight of the magnitude of stressors affected our mental and physical health.

Collaborative Approach to Mental & Physical Wellness

Elli’s approach aims to help her clients rediscover their baseline in a de-pathologizing and collaborative way that honours all parts of our story.

Somatic and Narrative Counselling Lens

Elli is particularly interested in exploring sessions through a somatic and narrative lens. Her counselling style is compassionate, curious, and direct, and she strives to help clients tap into their forgotten skills and knowledge.
