Leading you to your best life

Welcome to Ellen Dereve Counselling, where care, empowerment, and love guide you towards living your best life. Whether you prefer in-person sessions in Melbourne or the convenience of online counselling, I am here to support your journey to mental wellness. 

Introduction

Welcome to My Counselling Practice

I offer a compassionate and supportive space where individuals and couples can explore, heal, and grow. With a gentle yet effective approach, I help clients strengthen their self-esteem, deepen their
sense of self-worth and create more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

My counselling sessions focus on practical, evidence-based interventions that empower you to make meaningful changes and continue using the tools long after our sessions end. Together, we’ll work towards greater happiness, balance, and a renewed sense of joy in your life.

I hold a Master of Counselling Degree, and I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association.

Services

Individual counselling

I support individuals in building self-esteem, establishing healthy boundaries, and finding a stronger sense of balance in their lives.

Together, we look at the patterns that may be getting in the way, and what how they can be transformed. 

I also guide people through grief, anxiety, depression, anger, and significant life shifts, including midlife crises.  My aim is to foster lasting emotional wellbeing and resilience, so my clients can step into life with greater purpose, ease, and authenticity.

Couples counselling

I help couples resolve ongoing conflicts, improve communication, and rediscover a deeper sense of connection and satisfaction in their relationship.

Through learning easy yet effective interventions, partners learn to express themselves openly, listen with empathy, and rebuild trust.

As a result, many couples experience renewed closeness and a greater capacity to give and receive love and
appreciation.

Divorce counselling

Sometimes ending a relationship is the best choice for everyone involved.

When that happens, I help couples navigate their separation with mutual respect and appreciation.

This is especially important when children are part of the picture.

By teaching healthy, compassionate ways to move through this difficult period with integrity and kindness, I offer couples hope that—even though their romantic relationship may be over—they can still preserve a meaningful friendship.

Life coaching

Many people feel ready to take their lives to the next level, yet something still seems to stand in the way. 

During life coaching sessions, clients and I explore the limiting beliefs that may be holding them back and work on transforming these into more empowering perspectives.

This process helps create clarity, build confidence, and support meaningful progress toward personal goals.
