Hi I'm Jeff Ellison
Jeff Ellison, B.A. Psych, Dip Couns, ACA (L4), ACT, ACCS
Jeff, our professional counsellor, shares his unique down-to-earth, solution-focused approach to therapy, which arises primarily out of his own life experience. Having overcome his own addictions to substances and behaviours, he understands first-hand the challenges and complexity of addiction. More importantly, what it takes to turn your life around. Jeff has experienced the devastating impact that addiction and mental health issues have on one’s sense of self, health and wellbeing, family, intimate relationships and parenting.
