About Elysia
Counsellor and Psychotherapist | Master of Counselling
I’m Elysia, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (PACFA) based in Perth, Western Australia. I completed a Master of Counselling degree at Edith Cowan University, and hold additional training in gestalt psychotherapy. I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy to adults and adolescents seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, and complex relational or identity-related challenges.
Prior to my counselling career, I worked in varied roles including providing front-line support for survivors of institutionalised childhood sexual abuse (CSA), disability, and acute mental health issues and co-morbidities. It was a valuable introduction to the field of mental health counselling and I enjoyed building trusting relationships with my clients.
During my postgraduate training, I worked as a youth counsellor in the not-for-profit community mental health sector, where I provided direct counselling support to individuals aged 12-25 in Perth experiencing family domestic violence, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicide ideation, eating disorders, self-esteem, neurodiversity, and interpersonal concerns.
Subsequent experience included counselling and triage roles at both Curtin and Notre Dame University, where I provided academic, wellbeing and mental health support to clients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds across the lifespan. This influenced me to adopt a flexible approach to my counselling practice, where I draw from integrative and evidence-based interventions to support the needs of my clients.
Above all, my primary interest is cultivating trusting and supportive relationships – the foundation of meaningful change. I offer in-person counselling in Mount Lawley and online support across Australia for individuals aged 16 years and above. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, chronic health issues, body image concerns, and social, relationship, and self-esteem issues. I work closely with my clients to validate their experience and guide them toward greater awareness, resilience, and self-compassion.
