Hey, i’m Ellie

 
Let’s heal what you’ve been through, then supercharge you with real, research-based tools to get you living your best.

All in a chilled-out therapy nutshell.

My qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)

  • Postgraduate training and ongoing supervision in Bowen Family Systems Theory

    Ongoing Professional Development in modalities of m-CBT, DBT, IFS, Play Therapy, Creative Art Therapy.

Where you are

  • Some hard stuff has
    happened/is happening and you’re stuck

  • There has to be something more in life, but you don’t know what or how

  • Overwhelmed by how to manage your family relationships, your emotions or your past

  • Either never tried therapy or you tried and it sucked (boring, confusing, didn’t help you)

Please note: Cocoon is not a crisis service. 

If you, or someone close to you is at immediate risk -  please dial 000 or phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

What we will
do together

  • Process and heal what has happened or is happening, so you are no longer doing it alone

  • Get crystal clear on what you want and where you’re going - you’re no longer held back by what’s happened and you have the confidence and tools to go after it!

  • Laugh where appropriate, bust out some creativity if that’s your thing and do chilled-out therapy like you’ve never done it before

I work with people who have experienced past or current family stuff that they feel is holding them back.
They know they want something else, something more - but don’t know how to start or get to the other side.

I see clients who are struggling with:

Past family trauma
(including direct or secondary/intergenerational trauma)

Family relationship challenges
(conflict, challenging dynamics, low connection)

Grief from the loss of a family member

Finding adulthood challenging

Identity and life-direction
(AKA “what the heck am I doing/where am I going?!”)

If there is something you need support with that isn’t listed here, please just ask me via the contact form at the bottom of this page.
I do see clients for a range of other reasons - if i’m not the best person to help you out, then i’ll refer you onto someone who is!

Who
I work with

The Process

Psychology

Using a blend of research-based Psychology and modern living to take the boring out of therapy.
I have plucked all the practical, tried-and-true tips out of the research, so that you receive only the best and mixed it with realistic practical strategies that don’t feel like you’re being lectured at
(no worksheets here).

A Different Approach to Your
Mental Health That Actually Works

Family Therapy

There are reasons you have ended up lost in your direction.
And some of it…

May have origins in your upbringing.

We will use family therapy concepts to understand what you’ve been through and process the negative impact it’s had on you, so that you can live your life on your terms.

Creativity

Creativity is at the heart of Cocoon.

A creative approach involves:
1. Creating your life, AKA living a freaking cool life with purpose - not just existing in it
2. Creating mental health approaches to fit YOU
3. Creative methods involving art and music where appropriate
