Counselling and Psychology can sometimes feel clinical and impersonal. We do things differently.
I feel a great therapist is considerate, warm and patient who listens to the needs of her clients. As a Social Worker in Private Practice with the foundation of a Psychology Degree, I use a holistic approach that is tailored to each persons unique and individual situation.
Using evidence-based psychological theories to normalise your current situation, and realistic achievable strategies to make a positive difference when you leave each session. All parties are heard equally and have the space to express their perspective, ultimately building stronger empathetic connections.

Our Team
Meet Elena
I started my boutique private practice to make a positive difference. As a mother myself, I know it can sometimes feel isolating as a parent. We often don’t want to admit when we are struggling for fear of judgement as a mother, or just trying to make it through the day. But it doesn’t have to be like that.
My goal is to inspire positive change in people’s lives through post natal depression support. You are always reminded why you are important and how to genuinely love and accept yourself for who you are. In my experience, finding the right therapist can change your life.
By exploring your current situation and investigating your history, we uncover patterns you may not even be aware of. This includes realising if you are repeating cycles from your parents, healing trauma wounds and understanding your emotional needs. This is empowerment.

Not sure if we are right for you?
Motherhood isn’t always easy. At Supportive Therapy, we understand that, and how choosing the right therapist for you and your needs is important. Being vulnerable with a stranger can be a daunting process. That’s why we encourage you to contact us for a 15 minute consultation.
