About me

My practice
Hi! I'm Courtney. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Geelong, Victoria.
At Mindful Elk Therapy we offer counselling and psychotherapy for men who want to improve their relationship with not only themselves, but with others. We provide a safe space for receiving mental and emotional self-care within an environment of empathy, acceptance and authenticity.

I was inspired to follow this career path by my own life experience, when I realised that in caring for everyone else, I had neglected my own mental and emotional health. This was putting strain upon my relationships with others, and most importantly, my relationship with myself.

I chose to specialise in men’s mental health because I have witnessed first-hand the damaging effects of men not seeking out appropriate and effective mental health support. My mission is to provide a nurturing service that helps to break down the social stigma of men asking for help and encourage men to face their issues before they spiral out of control.

I consider therapy as mental and emotional self-care. It can help us to manage stress, ease harmful symptoms of mental disorders, and learn coping strategies to adapt to life’s curveballs. It can help to process interpersonal trauma that has been previously ignored. It can also help us to find our true selves when we seem to have lost sight of who we are whilst prioritising other peoples’ needs.
