Relationship and Marriage Counselling

My partner and I saw Eleni for couples counselling for just over a year. We say often now, if it wasn’t for meeting Eleni we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Eleni provided such a safe and comfortable space and helped us both learn so much about the relationship but also ourselves.
We highly recommend Eleni for couples counselling.

Therapist

Hi I've been working with this wonderful lady for 12 months now .
I came very scared as to what my future would be . In the first session I knew I was in the right place , I felt safe .

As we began to unravel my situation there was a feeling of empowerment and a understanding that yes I had been through a lot and I was validated for the first time in my life .
Today I am a different person , my husband has also come to some session and Eleni has supported the both of us on not only my journey but his too.
When I've not understood what Eleni was trying to explain she would brake things down in simply terms so I understood the path she was asking me to examine.
Our time on zoom was also brilliant .
Eleni's calming safe space that she's able to give during her sessions are invaluable.

Q&As

The opportunity to witness personal resilience, growth, courage and heart, from people who are seeking support during very vulnerable times in their lives is one of the most rewarding things to experience. Facing your personal traumas and emotional/psychological/wounds is no easy feat, so the opportunity to be able to support people through this process, for me is a very sacred act. As a career, there is nothing more meaningful than supporting people transform in ways that increases deeper intimacy with self and others, self- love, self-care, boundaries, acceptance, letting go, peace and forgiveness into their lives.

I wanted to personally challenge my own self-doubts about what I had to offer as a professional. I was ready to break through the limiting beliefs I had about myself and what I was capable of achieving. There is no bigger personal growth than having the courage to put yourself out there and let people know, hey, I'm a trustful person, and I have the skills and experience that can help you get through this really challenging time.

One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is my ability to hold a very safe space where people can be raw, honest and vulnerable. I have a variety of skills as a therapist, but what also makes my work a little unique is that I am also a yoga teacher and can bring a very wholistic lens to the therapeutic work if that is what people are seeking. I can very easily bring together western approaches to psycho-therapy and eastern philosophical wisdom!

I do offer online sessions to both couple's and individuals.

Services

I am an Emotional Focused Individual Therapist (EFIT) and qualified Social Worker. My approach to therapy work varies according to what each individual person is seeking and open to. I can draw on purely western approaches to healing the wounded psyche/self and trauma using healing approaches and modalities such as: EFIT, psycho-dynamic and trauma-informed approaches, strength-based practice, Family Constellation work, somatic embodiment, mindfulness, relaxation techniques and Radical Exposure Tapping. I have an interest in supporting people heal from trauma and childhood traumas such as sexual abuse and sexual assault and childhood family violence. I value working with both women and men, couples and families. Therapy is a process and my approach focuses on the importance of developing a therapeutic relationship over time that is based on safety and trust. I believe that people get the most our of therapy and notice real transformation when they view it as a process over time, rather than a quick fix to a problem. Undoing our conditioning and mental and emotional patterns takes time and aren't quickly fixed through a strategy.

I am an Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapist.
My therapeutic approach to couple’s therapy is informed by two of the greatest couple’s therapists; Sue Johnson, who developed Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couple’s and Ether Perel. I have a particular interest in helping couples navigate the tumultuous aftermath of an infidelity!
Emotional Focused Therapy is based on attachment theory and uses attachment and connection to create therapeutic transformation. EFT attempts to find new solutions to old problems and relationship distress is seen as a coping strategy. The approach explores stuck interactional patterns, emotional unavailability and insecure attachment, to reveal how each person protects themselves in the relationship. The therapist supports each person to move beyond their secondary emotions of anger, frustration, helplessness and despair, towards their primary emotions such as sadness, disappointment, fear and longing, where unmet attachment needs live. It requires each person to be with the vulnerability of the other.

Esther Perel’s amazing wisdom on intimacy, desire, sex, eros and infidelity speaks to the complexity of our capacity to love and be loved. Her work empathically enables people to take responsibility for the hurt caused to the other as well as each person’s exiled desires.
​
Couple’s therapy is a process. It takes time, commitment and above all, courage to touch into our own shadow side and own it completely. But, in the true spirit for connection and love, it’s truly worth it!
Our intimate partner can act as the greatest mirror for our hidden insecurities and wounding as well as our deepest capacity to love another. So, if you have found yourself on this page, then you are ready to experience yourself and your intimate other in a very different way. Repairing the relationship has begun…..

Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach developed by Bert Hellinger, a Gestalt and Systems therapist. The approach is a psycho-dynamic, somatic, and spiritual approach to resolving current problems by looking into family systems and ancestral lines. It explores hidden trans-generational family dynamics, traumas, secrets, and exclusions that can cause emotional entanglements and disruptive attachment patterns. The approach reveals how we carry our parents’ emotional burdens that often began generations before. Family Constellations takes us on a journey of handing back responsibility for emotional issues that did not begin with us, yet simultaneously honours our parents and ancestors for the life given to us through them. The healing process requires us to drop deeply into our bodies, and to notice what sensations arise, so that the body does the talking and not the rational, discursive mind.

​Family Constellation work requires us to put aside the conditioned narrative we have about our life and to enter the experience with a sense of openness and curiosity. It takes us to the core of an issue and rapidly resolves long held difficulties and traumas.

Tantrik Yoga is a life affirming spiritual tradition
Inhabiting our bodies and developing a strong psycho-emotional self is absolutely necessary on the spiritual path of non-dual classical Tantrik Yoga.
This life affirming spiritual system, which developed in India, initially as an Oral Practice Tradition, and then later as a Text-based tradition, honors and uses the body, it’s energies and the mind to free us from our limiting karmic patterns, leading to the ultimate fruit of our spiritual journey- a revelation of our essential nature!
In spiritual counseling, we begin by addressing and healing our psycho-emotional wounds, initially through traditional psycho-therapy, and incorporating how non-dual tantra understands and works with the body, the mind and emotions. Sessions then progress to incorporating Tantrik technologies for breaking through karmic conditioning and changing our perception of reality, in order to realise our fullest potential as a human being.
These sessions are appropriate for those who have already addressed past physical and emotional traumas through other healing modalities, including psycho-therapy, but feel there is just that little bit more to heal. People must also have some form of yoga/meditation practice and are willing to delve deeper into the spiritual tradition of Tantra.
What makes these sessions so profound is that they help people integrate the wounded psyche in order to move beyond healing. We make a huge paradigm shift when our spiritual practice ceases to act as a healing tonic, to then become an essential practice for revealing the true purpose of our human birth.

Spiritual counselling supports you to move past your traumas and social constructs that you have about yourself. Sessions will guide you to reconnect to your inner essence and the truth of existence.
