General Public
Adult therapy helps to find and resolve negative patterns in relationships, how they developed in the past and the unconscious aspects behind them. Through this process, new ways of relating can be developed in your relationships socially and at work. The duration and frequency of your therapy depends on what you and your therapist consider for your own particular set of circumstances but typically sessions are planned weekly.
For children who are having problems at home or school, a preliminary meeting is arranged with the parents, possibly without the child attending in the first instance, to explore the parent's concerns and to decide how to address them. This might lead to seeing the child on their own or with the family. Adolescents are seen on their own, albeit sometimes the parents also need support. The frequency of treatment depends on the severity of the problem and how easily symptoms can be addressed.
Couples who have difficulties in communication and may be caught in vicious circles of blame or misunderstanding can turn to therapy for help. Our team are trained in Gottman Method Couple Therapy and Schema Therapy for Couples, two strong evidence based methodologies which support clients in resolving conflict, misunderstandings and challenges. The therapist will support will not force an outcome but will propose or provide additional support through any process or outcome with an open and empathetic mind.
Family therapy is available for those who are stuck in negative patterns and in need of discussing difficult emotions in a clearer and more constructive way, often when one member of the family has been diagnosed with a significant psychological condition. Family dynamics can make communication difficult so using an experienced practitioner to manage the environment can be immensely fruitful.
In the modern world, many of us are travelling frequently, so to be able to commit to regular sessions with a therapist can be challenging. With modern technology, we can provide a secure on-line platform over which you can continue to see your therapist.
Every relationship is unique and it is no different for clients with their therapists. Some relationships fail to kindle and it is vital for you feel comfortable with your therapeutic relationship in order to gain benefit. Therefore Elephant offers a complementary 15 minute "chemistry" session for you to ascertain whether you wish to proceed and whether the therapist feels able to support you.
At Elephant, we want to ensure that everyone has access to therapy, irrespective of their financial situation. We offer significantly discounted sessions from as low as $100 per session with our supervised staff who remain under the regular weekly stewardship of our founder.
Elephant periodically provides workshops, seminars, mindfulness & meditation programmes and group talks to the general public. Please refer to our calendar for more details.

The founder, with her high level of experience and qualifications, is in a strong position to provide such services to clinicians.
