I certainly am not a “glug- a- tron” when it comes to pouring this liquid gold, although I know for a fact that I could easily get through a large container of olive oil in a week. 😂

My portion sizes are fine- but what is not fine are my limiting beliefs about my measuring techniques.

Dear Therapist in Training,

Beginning your placement is an exciting time and can bring some feelings of nervousness, joy, and also big questions of “can I do this?”

In this latest free, open letter, here are some thoughts for you to consider as you begin seeing clients.

How do you feel about seeing clients? When you began seeing clients what was something that stood out to you?

Your sibling therapist,
Elliot

I support couples and relationships as they seek to understand and be understood.

We all learn how to communicate in different ways, and my role is to help you both to share in ways that expressing what you want and need in ways the other person will be able to respond to.

These skills take time and practice, but you can learn to share your needs and wants.

One of my favourite past times is seeing stories through creativity on a stage. It is one of my favourite ways to express creativity.

What ways do you find creativity shows up?

Dear Therapist in Training,

What would it be like if you welcomed your culture, and ways of being into therapeutic sessions?

For me, this has been a journey and experiment, what would it be like if I had a session sitting cross legged on the floor? Or maybe instead of herbal tea, I offered chai?

This week I share about exploring your culture and how this can enhance and hinder the therapeutic work. You can read this by clicking the link on my profile.

How do you honour or pay tribute to where you come from in sessions?

Your sibling therapist,
Elliot

While I have been away from the “regular-day-to-day”, in person sessions are paused and therapy has transitioned to being online till mid- spring 2026.

Online therapy is an effective way to be supported, and can be a way to access sessions from anywhere in the world.

My personal favourites to make are a Salted Caramel, Chai, Olive Oil & Lemon Drizzle and Portokalopita. If you were to entertain, what would be on your kitchen counter?

Dear Therapist in Training,

What would it be like if you shared a human experience of laughter in session?

Maybe you have, maybe you don’t want to. In this week’s free open letter I share about how laughter can be a therapeutic medicine. Check out the link to read this.

A question for you, what is your relationship with humour and laughter in sessions?

Dear Therapist,

What has your experience of post qualifying been? This week’s letter is about the post qualifying shock I got.

Dear Therapist in Training… this one is for you.
It won’t cost you a penny, only a few moments of your time and an open heart and mind.

I’ll see you ‘On the Couch’.

As life changes and evolves, so do therapists and the things they offer. Here are just a few things I can support relationship clients with.

I find the work I do attracts those who are navigating conflicts, cultural differences, relationship reconnection, life events, and navigating endings.

However you have learned to love or are loved in relationships, you are welcome here.

Dear Therapist In Training,
Sometimes it feels like the systems that be are created for us to jump through, for us to accomplish one thing only to do another thing.

It’s okay that you feel this way and that you maybe feel blindsided by the profession. It might feel hard right now, but there is a place and a spot for you at this big old table.

Your Sibling Therapist,
Elliot
