Counsellor, Relationship Therapist

Greensborough VIC

It's a brave move to attend counselling where you may face not the counsellor so much but yourself. It requires a safe space, of acceptance and permission. Acceptance of difference and diversity is important to me, where you will be supported to work through the conflict that brings you whatever it is.

Peter Ellingsen

Psychoanalyst

Carlton North VIC, Mount Martha VIC

In Person + Telehealth

There are innumerable ways of recounting a life, and a childhood that may seem like a fraught love affair. Uniquely, psychoanalysis takes us to the core of how these accounts are told and retold. It is a cure that allows other spaces to arise, owes nothing to conformity and risks finding out the true desire of the person seeking treatment.
