Hi, I’m Vicky, Founder of Elara Psychology.

I’m a Registered Psychologist with close to 20 years of experience dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and their families across both private and public sectors. 

My approach is warm, considered, and collaborative. I draw on therapies such as CBT ACT, and DBT, always adapting my work to provide tailored, evidence-based support for children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.

I have a particular interest in delivering neurodiversity-affirming care for children and adolescents, with a strong focus on understanding behaviour within its context and as a form of communication. This perspective underpins my approach to supporting emotional regulation and informs practical, individualised recommendations for support.

A core part of my work also involves supporting parents and other stakeholders in the young person’s life. I offer thoughtful, practical guidance to caregivers to confidently and effectively navigate challenges at home and in other settings.

At Elara Psychology, my aim is to create a calm, supportive space where young people feel truly understood—and where meaningful, lasting change can occur.
