Held To Heal

I offer online and in-person individual therapy in Thornbury, Melbourne for women and men who are ready to engage in depth-oriented, long-term therapeutic work. I specialise in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy. Many of my clients are highly reflective and motivated, yet continue to struggle with early experiences of:

• Complex and developmental trauma
• Parental separation and family fractures
• Inter-generational trauma
• Sexual abuse
• Physical abuse
• Emotional neglect or relational instability
• Sexual assault
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Emotional dysregulation
• Relationship and intimacy difficulties
• A persistent sense of emptiness

Together, we work to understand how early attachment trauma continues to shape:

• Emotional responses and nervous system regulation
• Relationship patterns, intimacy, safety and boundaries
• Identity, self-worth, and internal stability

I provide a safe place for people to land, slow down and think clearly. My therapeutic approach is relational and intentionally paced and is suited to people who want to build a long-term, honest and trusting relationship with a therapist.

I work with people who who are committed to understanding themselves, their relational patterns, including those that arise within the therapeutic relationship itself (for those willing to engage at this level), and the lasting impact of trauma and attachment wounds. They recognise that meaningful healing takes time, consistency, and a willingness to stay present with difficult internal experiences. This therapy is not quick-fix or surface-level; it is a steady, thoughtful, contained and collaborative process focused on lasting change.
 
I predominately work in  Emotional Focused Therapy and have completed training with Heike McMahon, including Emotional Focussed Individual Therapy and Mastering Skills.  I have also completed Radical Exposure Tapping®, Level I (Deactivating the Buttons) with Laurie MacKinnon. You can find out more about me by visiting my About Me page.

“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.” TRACY

“Eleni, made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the first session. I felt safe to open up and talk about my issues. Her methods are not intrusive and extremely helpful. Help is out there, and Eleni is the help.” DOM
