Elaine Kelly is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Chatswood, NSW. You can find the practice at Suite 4, Level 1, 27 Albert Ave, Chatswood NSW 2067.
Elaine works with people who want extra support to get through tough times. Appointments can suit different stages of life, and the focus is usually on making things feel a bit more manageable day to day.
Sessions are available for individual therapy, couples counselling, and family therapy. At times, it’s about sorting out what’s been weighing on you. Other times, it’s more about learning how to handle patterns that keep showing up, even when you really want things to be different.
Therapy also includes behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). This style looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In many cases, people notice that when they can spot certain thinking habits and behaviour loops, they gain more control. That can make it easier to cope with stress, and to respond more calmly in the moment.
For couples and families, the work often turns toward communication and ways of relating. People come in for lots of reasons, like ongoing conflict, feeling stuck, or struggling to understand each other. In these sessions, the aim is to help everyone feel heard, and to find practical steps that can improve how things run at home.
CBT and behavioural approaches are used in a down-to-earth way. You won’t just be left with homework and vague advice. The sessions are meant to be clear and realistic, with goals that make sense for your situation.
If you’re considering therapy, it helps to start with what you want to change and what feels hardest right now. Elaine’s role is to support that process, step by step, in a calm and respectful way.
