Michelle Ellis is a psychologist based in Gledswood Hills, NSW. She works from Level 1, Suite 15, 13 Digitaria Drive, Gledswood Hills NSW 2557.
Michelle supports people who are dealing with everyday stress, worries that won’t switch off, and tough times that feel hard to explain. Many clients come in after big life changes, relationship strain, or when work and home pressures start to pile up. In other cases, it’s about learning new ways to cope when emotions run high.
Her approach includes individual therapy sessions, where you can talk through what’s going on and work out practical steps for what to do next. She also offers couples counselling, which can help both people understand where things are getting stuck, and how to communicate a bit more clearly. For families, she provides family therapy so everyone has a safer space to talk and work on change together.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the tools Michelle uses. CBT is often about noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviour, then changing them in a way that feels more manageable. Michelle also uses stress management techniques, because stress can show up in lots of ways, not just in your head. Sometimes it’s in sleep, focus, mood, or how you react in the moment.
Over time, therapy can help you feel more in control. That might look like learning skills you can use at home, building better routines, or setting realistic goals. Sometimes small shifts make a big difference, especially when you’re doing it step by step.
Michelle’s training and clinical work focus on structured, evidence-informed approaches like CBT, along with a calm, down-to-earth style. She aims to keep sessions grounded and practical, so they don’t feel like a lecture. You can expect to talk, reflect, and try strategies that fit your real life.
