Elise Wilson – Student Therapist
I am a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student currently completing my practicum and working under the clinical supervision of Katie Harling.
My approach is humanistic and strengths-based, focusing on your existing capacities and resources. I aim to always lead with warmth and openness, helping support comfort and safety as we work together.
Sharing what you are going through can feel deeply vulnerable, and we’ll go at a pace that honours your comfort and readiness. Together, we can go beyond the surface to connect with the body, core emotions, and explore the nuanced layers of life’s challenges. I am committed to creating a space where you feel seen and heard, with empathy and care.
I have a performance background, which gives me insight into the pressures of high-performance environments, often linked to perfectionism and people-pleasing. I also have years of experience in community music settings, singing and connecting with young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as older adults in end-of-life care.
I believe deeply in the therapeutic process, and the power of connecting with ourselves and others. If you think I might be the right fit for you, I’d love to connect!
