GET TO KNOW ME A LITTLE BETTER HERE
Who am I
Hi there, I’m Elise - I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a dedicated psychologist with a deep commitment to understanding and guiding you through your mental wellness journey.
With over 15 years in the mental health field, my journey has taken me through foster care, private practice, and triage, equipping me with a deep understanding of the challenges you face.
My own experiences, including managing ADHD and supporting loved ones with their mental health, have deeply informed my approach. I understand firsthand how transformative but challenging mental health journeys can be.
If you’re navigating the challenge of finding the right support for yourself or your teen or young adult, you’re not alone. I’m here to offer a friendly face and expert guidance to help you start and plan your mental health journey.
I look forward to connecting with you.

A little more about me
I live in South Sydney, where I juggle life as a busy mum of four wonderful children (who keep life interesting and me on my toes) and our sock-eating labradoodle, Hamish.
The daily joys and challenges of managing a lively household offer me a unique perspective on family dynamics that I bring to my practice with every client.
My love for music and past experiences in musical theatre add a creative spark to my approach, even though my focus is now on nurturing my family and supporting my clients.
My approach
At Ever Mind Psychology, I believe in creating a space where you can feel truly heard and supported.
My goal is to provide a warm, empathetic, and validating experience, being that positive first point of contact for individuals and families seeking support.
I’m here to offer a friendly face and expert guidance to help you start this journey.
My approach is client-centred, grounded in empathy and respect. I strive to ensure that each individual feels truly heard and supported from the very first interaction. I aim to provide you with the clarity and guidance you need.
How I can help
Working with me means partnering with someone who genuinely cares about your well-being. I’m here to offer you a warm, supportive environment where we can explore your concerns together.
I specialise in initial consultations, offering practical insights and direction rather than ongoing therapy. My goal is to empower you to take the next steps on your mental health journey with confidence and understanding.
Whether you're seeking clarity, direction, or just someone to talk to, I’m here to help you find the path that’s right for you.
At Ever Mind Psychology, my goal is to walk with you on your journey towards mental wellness, fostering a sense of wholeness and empowerment that extends beyond our sessions into your everyday life.

Beyond individual therapy, I am passionate about empowering the community with knowledge and skills to support mental health. I aim to provide resources that equip people to understand and help others struggling with mental health issues.
I hope to contribute to a more compassionate and informed community where everyone knows how to offer support and make a positive impact.
I can’t wait to support you on your mental wellness journey
