Imalka "Immie" Elrington , AHPRA

Imalka "Immie" Elrington works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and ADHD. She brings a calm, direct style and aims to help people feel understood while they work through difficult moments. Immie uses a values-based approach to help people reconnect with what matters most to them.

Immie has five years' experience in both public and private settings across Australia. That variety has given her practice with many life stages and situations. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support everyday changes and coping skills.

Sessions are grounded in practical steps and clear conversation. Immie prioritises an unconditionally accepting, non-judgemental stance while working on goals together. People can expect a focus on what they want to achieve and small, achievable actions between sessions.

She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose and money worries. Discussions often combine exploring feelings with problem-solving and planning.

Immie works in English and uses a collaborative style. She encourages people to say what they need from therapy and to adjust the approach as progress is made. This helps keep the work relevant to each person's life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Immie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people build coping skills and make meaningful changes. One approach focuses on values-based work - identifying what matters most and using that to guide decisions and goals. This helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about life direction. Another common approach emphasises practical skill-building for anxiety and stress, including breathing and behavioural strategies to manage overwhelming moments and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapy process. Immie works collaboratively to decide what fits a person's needs and goals. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people converse face to face when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or when scheduling makes regular calls difficult. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives while still progressing toward personal goals.
