LET'S UNBURDEN THAT WHICH IS HOLDING YOU BACK...

YOU'RE NOT ALONE. WE DO IT TOGETHER.

​First things first. 

If you're looking at this, you have curiosity. This is one of the principle values we need for healing. I also bring an open, loving, compassionate curiosity towards your symptoms. I believe they are messengers we can decipher.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​That is the starting point for all the work we do together ... for your curious, noticing self to give space and opportunity, for that which is unconscious, to be given capacity to share it's deepest concerns for you. Not in a way that leaks out accidentally, but instead, is deliberately invited in, so we can learn together, what you need to go from a places of:

​

- irritation, frustration, stress, distress, 

- insecure, anxious, scared, terrified,

- apathetic, bored, sad, despressed,

- unappreciated, disrespected, denied, helpless

- critical, angry, furious, hateful

​

... to a place of more inner harmony and balance without losing your inner aliveness, and helping your inner vitality to return.

​

So often, we feel very alone in our unpleasant feelings. Working with a me is a way of co-regulating those feelings, a biological need we all have to both survive and thrive, that even a wonderful self-help book, you tube video, or bot can't provide. 

​

It doesn't mean it won't be hard sometimes or a bit overwhelming or even scary. But if you aren't doing it all alone, if you know someone has got your back, then you will navigate it until you build the trust and courage muscles, so you can trust in me and more importantly, trust in yourself.

With patience, compassion, and a willingness to let your soul show you what it needs to show you, you'll strengthen your ability to trust in your intuition -  your ability to hear the signs and then ... with compassion, so that the critical voice inside isn't what leads, but the gentle, kind inner friend, is who helps you step forward to keep walking towards your inner light.

EXAMPLE PROCESS WITH A CLIENT: Each client is unique

​PRIMING: Set your intention. The power of preparing your subconscious using hypnotherapy and guided meditations I create for you, will build your readiness for change.

CUE: How we behave today is built on a schema we created before we had choices. Now you do, so in the moment, you'll tap into that inner relationship with your Divine Self, you'll learn to access through therapy. Un-blending and using tools will help self-regulate you in the moment and STAY with the feelings and what they mean.

ACTION: Your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are acted out based on your beliefs around safety, connection, and inner needs. Creating the space between trigger and response, is what you do in the moment and will be based on the unlearning and relearning you've done before it plays out in the here and now. That space is where we want to grow the noticing part of ourselves and access True self. And it's not just Talking and more talking.

REFLECTION: We open up the option to relearn. This is the true moment where change happens. Coaches say, don't look back. But we all know, the importance of understanding our past and this is most often held in our implicit memory. We can ignore it, but our subconscious builds an affective bridge to our past. That's where the root of change lies. Working with someone who understands and can help facilitate an experiential unburdening of what holds you back. Just thinking about it isn't enough. Experiential access and relearning is what can be truly TRANSFORMATIVE.

​

Once you're unburdened, and the affective bridge has been rewritten, you can choose how and who you want to be. 

How exciting ... constructing a future that has fulfilment, connection and a playfulness. Imperfect yet perfect!

“I’ve struggled with low-confidence and anxiety most of my adulthood. These things have been real inhibitors in feeling like I can show up as my true, authentic self, particularly in professional spaces.

Working with Elaine has been an incredibly gentle, organic process of release and deep exploration.

What I loved most was this approach to understanding the many unique parts of myself, which helped to break down the confusion I often experienced at not understanding what was going on inside me.

This journey felt safe, natural and authentic, and I feel far more comfortable to take a breath and step back to acknowledge what’s going on, internally and externally.

I would highly recommend working with Elaine for anyone who has struggled with a sense of confusion, and is curious to explore things from a deeply intuitive and organic approach.”

“Working with Elaine has been transformative. She brings such a professional, kind, and deeply considered approach to every session.

Her ability to read between the lines, noticing what was  coming from the head vs heart, created a space where the sides of me, had space to be fully seen and understood.

My sessions were cathartic, unlocking or uncovering emotions and more understanding of my own operating system.

Elaine’s compassion and thoughtful questions allowed me to open up in ways I hadn’t before. I’m so grateful for the experience and the growth I’ve gained from working with her.

Thank you, Elaine.

A.H. (NZ) 2025

Working with Elaine was life-changing. Here’s my journey…

Before therapy I came to Elaine after suffering severe burnout and unimaginable loss. Within two months, I lost both my mother and my sister-in-law, two anchors in my life. This followed years of 70+ hour workweeks, leading a Covid response team, supporting my husband through a breakdown, and losing my brother during lockdown.

By March 2023, I collapsed. I left my job in October with no backup plan, mentally and emotionally depleted. I couldn’t even string a sentence together.

Elaine helped me uncover parts of myself I’d mistaken for strength. What I thought was resilience was actually my manager and protector selves shaped by past trauma. Her approach was gentle but deeply intuitive.  

From our very first session, something shifted. I woke up the next morning feeling calm, connected, and reassured. It was as if an inner voice whispered, “You’re going to be okay.” Doubt crept in later that day, but, unlike before, it vanished. That was new. That was healing.

I’m now more attuned to my inner world. When uncertainty arises, I can identify which part of me is speaking. I’ve learned to thank these parts for showing up. They’ve always been there. I just hadn’t noticed. Now, I honour them.

At work, when self-doubt creeps in, I pause and ask: “Did I achieve what I set out to?” I’ve stopped chasing impossible standards and started recognising the value in what I do.

What's changed? I’ve found clarity and a sense of inner peace. I sit with discomfort, unpack it, and move forward with intention. The weight has lifted. My soul feels lighter.

​

For anyone considering therapy, you won’t regret it. Elaine’s approach is gentle, intuitive, and deeply effective. She knows how to guide you inward, to help you explore, heal, and become a better version of yourself.​
