Psychotherapist, Somatic Psychotherapist

Dip.AOD, B.SocSci, M.MHSc, SEP

Carlton, Melbourne VIC 3053

Philosophy & Vision

My work is grounded in the belief that the body holds deep wisdom and the capacity to heal, given the right conditions of safety, connection, and presence.

I integrate somatic, attachment-based, systemic, and trauma-informed frameworks to support clients and professionals in cultivating resilience, embodied presence, and system-aware care.

My approach draws on ancient wisdoms and contemporary neurobiological insights to foster meaningful, sustainable change.

My vision is for trauma-informed, body-aware practice to be embedded not just in psychotherapy, but also in staff support, supervision, and broader community and organisational settings.

Background

Estelle is a Clinical Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in diverse roles spanning trauma-informed psychotherapy, staff support, clinical supervision, and training.

A Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, NeuroAffective Touch® Foundation Graduate, and Constellations facilitator, she integrates body-based approaches for deep nervous system support.

Her background includes inpatient dual diagnosis treatment and work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the Australian Defence Force, and family violence sector agencies. Estelle holds a Master’s in Mental Health Sciences and is also trained in EMDR and the Flash Technique.

    Therapy Approach

    Estelle is a Clinical Psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner & NeuroAffective Touch Foundation Graduate - working with the body’s intelligence to resolve trauma, shock & chronic stress.

    She is a PACFA accredited Clinical Supervisor and holds a Clinical Master’s Degree in Mental Health Sciences, Flinders Dept of Psychiatry.

    Estelle’s initial training was in dual diagnosis inpatient treatment (substance use & complex trauma) and she is currently training in Structural & Systemic Constellations work, supporting reorganisation and addressing the inter-generational transmission of trauma through the ancestral lineage.

    Estelle is curious about the interplay between ancient wisdoms and modern scientific findings.
