counselling
Welcome to a space designed exclusively for you. Within our sessions, your aspirations become our shared goals. Together, we explore the areas of your life where you seek growth. Through this process, we identify actionable steps to guide you. Experiencing challenges is part of being human and at In Your Element we specialize in barriers that impact performance in sport, professional, creative, or academic endeavours. We understand drive, passion, and striving for excellence, and skills that can help you reach that next level. Here, we help you understand you, while uncovering the root causes of your challenges and guiding you forward into a life that feels most aligned with your goals and aspirations.

We aim to create a warm, compassionate, judgmental space. Counselling is a collaborative process, and we are here to guide you through the process, but you are the expert of your experiences. Drawing from a person-centred approach, we use a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you in your journey.
In this safe space, there is opportunity to partake in integrative activities such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques, tools for self-awareness, thought reflections, and meditation exercises. Additionally, we may engage in written exercises and modify behaviours. We believe in a strengths-based approach, celebrating your unique traits and skillsets throughout our collaborative journey. We draw from a variety of modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative therapy, and Mindfulness practices.
