You don’t have to know exactly where to begin.

The path to wellbeing doesn't require a map, or a diagnosis, only the willingness to take the first step. We are here to navigate your internal and external world together, at a pace that feels entirely your own.

Here’s how it works

Introductory call

First few sessions

Regular weekly space

A free 15-minute space to meet, ask questions, and ensure you feel comfortable before we begin. This gives both you and the therapist a chance to see if you can work together.

Initial assessment sessions focused on understanding your history and identifying your goals for therapy. You may collaboratively decide on a preliminary timeline for therapy

You would usually meet your therapist on a consistent day and time each week dedicated to your reflection and growth in a safe environment.

What if I don’t know what to talk about?

This is a common and welcome place to start. Therapy is not an interrogation; it is a collaborative exploration. There is no pressure to arrive with a perfect agenda. Through curiosity and a quiet space, the most meaningful themes naturally emerge.

At ELAVAIT, we practice integrative therapy, which means we draw from various approaches. For those of you interested in the technical language, this includes modalities like psychodynamic therapy, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), all through a contextual, person-centred lens. This collaborative approach ensures your therapy isn't a standard protocol, but a tailored journey that respects your unique life experience and background.
