Nancy Elder is a counsellor based in Ourimbah, NSW. Her practice is at 142 Pacific Highway, Ourimbah NSW 2258. Sessions are available in English and Spanish, which can help people feel more comfortable and understood from the start.
In counselling, the focus is on support that feels practical and doable. Nancy works with people who are dealing with everyday mental health stress, emotional pressure, and times when things feel a bit too much. At times, that might be linked to worries, changes in life, family strain, work stress, or just feeling run down. Many people seek help for how they cope day to day, not just one big crisis.
What people can expect includes individual counselling sessions, where sessions are centred on the person’s needs and the issues they want to work through. There are also group therapy sessions for those who prefer learning and healing with others. Group sessions can be a good fit when it helps to hear different stories and know you’re not the only one dealing with similar feelings.
Nancy also offers mental health assessments. This can be useful when someone is trying to get clearer about what’s going on and what support might help next. Stress management techniques are part of the support too, and they’re usually aimed at building better ways to handle tough moments. Alongside that, emotional support sessions can help people steady themselves and work toward feeling more in control.
Over time, counselling can bring space to sort out thoughts, name what’s hard, and try small steps that fit real life. Nancy’s approach is calm and grounded, with a focus on steady progress. It’s also a place to talk about what you’re experiencing in a way that feels safe and respectful, whether sessions are one-on-one or in a group.
