Ellie Greenberg is a Genetic Counsellor based in Richmond, VIC. She works out of Level 1, 41-43 Stewart Street, Richmond VIC 3121. The work is practical and people-focused, with a big emphasis on family health history and making sense of what genetic testing can (and can’t) tell you.
Ellie helps when there are questions about inherited conditions. That might be after someone has a diagnosis, or when a pattern shows up in a family over time. At times, it can also be about planning ahead for the future, like understanding risks for children or managing worries that have been sitting there for years.
A lot of the appointments start with talking through your family medical history. Ellie looks at the information in a calm way, and helps sort out what is known, what is unclear, and what questions are worth asking next. Sometimes the answers are straightforward. Other times, it takes a few steps to get to something useful.
Genetic testing can feel like a big decision. Ellie explains the testing options in plain language, so you can understand the likely benefits, possible limits, and what results might mean for you and your family. She also helps people think about how they want to use the information—whether it’s for medical choices, support for relatives, or simply getting clarity.
Over the course of care, Ellie provides support and guidance for genetic concerns. She doesn’t rush things. She encourages you to ask questions and checks that the plan makes sense. Many families come in feeling overwhelmed, and leaving with a clearer path can make a real difference.
In many cases, people want to know where to from here after learning about an inherited condition. Ellie focuses on explaining the genetic side of things, along with the next practical steps that may be available. She also helps families understand how results could affect communication within the wider family, because that part is not always easy.
Ellie’s background includes experience in genetic counselling and supporting people through decisions about family history and genetic testing. While this can involve complex topics, her style stays down-to-earth and straightforward.
