Registered Counsellor
Elaine Small
Languages Spoken:
- English
My name is Elaine and I am a very calm, warm and empathic counsellor with over 10 years’ experience and I am passionate about helping you clarify the issues that are affecting your sense of happiness and supporting you to make the changes that you desire.
My clients tell me I create a very safe and nurturing space to explore their most vulnerable thoughts and feelings without judgement, which helps them rediscover their own self confidence and wisdom and see the path ahead.
I work at a pace that is comfortable for you and I tailor my approach depending on individual preferences, personality types and desired outcomes. I have trained in gestalt therapy which means I can bring creative ways if desired, including chair work, to look at the issues you are facing to help you find new perspectives and possibilities to break free from feeling stuck.
I support both individuals and couples in my Adelaide practice who present with a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, communication difficulties, grief and loss, coping with major life transitions such as relocating, career change & divorce, relationship problems, infidelity, parenting problems, the quest for meaning, difficulty making decisions, difficulty regulating emotions, a general feeling of unease with life or oneself, and much more.
You might not even know what the issue is but you just don’t feel like yourself, we can work through this together.
