Cultivating authentic happiness, emotional balance, and a grounded sense of wellbeing
In Buddhist philosophy, sukah speaks to a deeper kind of happiness, not fleeting or dependent on circumstances, but a stable sense of enoughness, and a true sense of wellbeing.
Much of our struggle, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, and unrest come from striving, resisting, or feeling like we’re not quite where we should be, that we need to be more. We’re often taught that happiness comes from achieving, improving, or finally getting things right, being more than who we are.
A true sense of wellbeing comes from staying present with discomfort without collapsing, recognize the patterns that pull you out of yourself, and acceptance, compassion and presence with your true authentic self.
How We Will Work Together
I believe we are all capable of creating meaningful change in our lives. Sometimes, however, we need a safe space, a different perspective and the support of another person to help us see what is possible.
Our work together begins with where you are now — your experiences, relationships, challenges, hopes and the things you would like to change.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, self-doubt, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, family concerns, fertility loss, grief, stress, trauma, loss of purpose or uncertainty about an important decision, counselling can provide a space to explore what is happening beneath the surface and understand what you need.
A whole-person approach
My counselling and coaching approach draws from Transpersonal Psychology, Family Systems Theory, CBT, Person-Centred, Gestalt and mindfulness-based approaches.
This means we can look at the whole picture rather than focusing only on the immediate problem:
-
Your mind and body
-
Your thoughts, feelings and behaviours
-
Your past, present and future
-
Your relationships and family history
-
Your values, meaning and sense of self
Together, we can explore how your experiences and relationships may have shaped the patterns you find yourself in today. Where appropriate, I also bring an intuitive and psycho-spiritual perspective to our work, alongside practical tools to support greater awareness and change.
You don't have to navigate it all on your own.

With more than 2,000 hours of counselling experience and over 25 years of combined experience working with people in-person and online, you can feel confident that our sessions will be centred around you — your needs, your wellbeing and the changes you want to make.
My personal mantra is "awareness is empowerment."
Through greater awareness, we can begin to recognise patterns, understand our needs, challenge beliefs that may be holding us back and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are and the life you want to create.
I work collaboratively and at your pace. I won't tell you what you should do or who you should be. Instead, I offer a compassionate, thoughtful and professional space where you can explore, reflect, challenge yourself and discover your own way forward.

Kind Words
"I've been working with Adria for about two and a half years now and I can honestly say she is the most incredible counsellor I’ve ever met. She has such a gentle, calm and supportive way of holding space. I’ve never felt so safe and truly heard.
She’s helped me work through so many things, from relationship challenges, self confidence, intimacy and even imposter syndrome. Every session feels like a step forward, with real breakthroughs that stick. It’s hard to put into words how much it means to feel so understood, but that’s exactly what she does - she really gets you, and helps you get yourself too.
I genuinely look forward to every session, and I’m so grateful to have found her. If you’re thinking about working with her, you couldn’t be in better hands. " Nicola R

"I saw Adria Ellis weekly for an extended period during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply understanding, and brings a rare combination of wisdom and skill to her work. Adria held space with such care and presence, and gently helped guide me through situations that felt overwhelming and complex. I always felt seen and supported, never judged, which, in my experience, is rare.
It’s hard to find a genuinely good therapist, someone who not only listens but also helps you grow, reflect, and heal in a meaningful way. Adria is that person. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and grounded therapist. " Sam G
