Clinical Approach & Expertise
El uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psycho-education, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Training and Values identification, Structured Problem Solving, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focussed Therapy, Positive Psychology, Goal Setting, Emotion Focused Therapy and Schema Focused Therapy in a unique way to make sure your issues are properly resolved. El believes that much of our deeper present day struggles are linked to past experiences and perhaps the unresolved or non-addressed understandings or emotions associated with them. El also believes that often the issues presented in counselling are rather the symptoms of the underlining issue and hence it is often ‘deeper’ therapy as opposed to ‘band aid’ therapy that provides positive and sustainable change.
El’s areas of interest include the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Panic, stress and adjustment difficulties, Mood and motivation issues, pain management, Sleep difficulties, Emotional Management, Self Esteem and Self Confidence issues, Grief and Loss, PTSD, Weight Control, and Relationship issues. El believes that the ideal recipe for effective therapy is self-honesty, commitment and an authentic relationship between the therapist and client. El’s approach towards her clients would best be described as direct, challenging but also authentic and nurturing
Outside of work, El enjoys maintaining a balanced and active lifestyle. She enjoys watching documentaries and making time for personal reflection and wellbeing. El has a strong interest in lifelong learning and enjoys reading, particularly in areas related to psychology, personal growth, and health. She also appreciates the restorative benefits of nature and believes that maintaining balance outside of work helps bring greater presence, empathy, and energy to her clinical practice.
