Elaine Scola

I currently have availability.

I believe therapy can offer a safe space for self-discovery that provides you with an opportunity to creatively discover how you want to live. I am particularly inclined to listen to how an individual describes their world, as I believe each person experiences life in a unique way that can rarely be communicated to someone else. I have worked extensively with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety (towards a specific situation and generalised), depression, breakdown of a relationship, grieving, work issues, infertility and addiction. I also focus on the metaphysical meaning of physical illness to improve wellbeing.

As much as family and friends may want to help their loved ones in such a situation, it can be challenging as it can put undue stress on their relationship. I can help you without an agenda that someone from a personal network may have. I will listen and also speak about what I am learning about you, and you decide what resonates with you.

My experience working with couples has included the following: emotional and physical intimacy difficulties, separation/divorce - including couples with children, open/E.N.M. relationships, grieving and excessive use of anger. I can facilitate a dialogue when communication has broken down to re-establish a common ground to resolve the issue.

In the first session we will talk about your reasons to come to therapy and how you would like to work in therapy.

I will listen to your priorities and give you an overall view of the situation to help you start making meaning of your experience.

You can ask any questions that you may have.
