Get to know Elli Khosousi

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and an Honours Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I use an integrative approach to therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing on a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and working with individuals from different walks of life and diverse backgrounds.

Prior to transitioning into the field of psychotherapy full-time, I was already engaged in the field while also having a distinguished career as an airline captain, traveling the globe and connecting with individuals from a wide range of cultures. This global exposure broadened my understanding of human diversity and revealed the pain and suffering caused by intersectionality. It also led me to become a passionate advocate for victims of human trafficking and modern slavery, offering support where it was most urgently needed.

These experiences shaped my approach to psychotherapy, deepening my understanding of how culture, environment, and identity influence mental health. They sparked my interest in trauma, resilience, and healing, reinforcing my belief that everyone, regardless of background, shares a fundamental need for connection, empathy, and emotional support.

I work with clients at a pace that feels right for them, tailoring therapy to meet their unique needs. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to address emotional, mental, and behavioural challenges, helping you develop new coping strategies that foster resilience and strength. Above all, I create a judgment-free environment where you feel truly heard and understood. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone – I’m here to walk alongside you, offering the guidance and support you need to make meaningful changes and move toward healing.

Make a purposeful change. I’ll see you in session.
