Imalka "Immie" Elrington is a psychologist who prioritises making each person she meets feel genuinely understood and respected. She brings experience from both public and private sector work, supporting people across the lifespan with a wide range of concerns. Her practice reflects a deep appreciation for how background, life stage and individual circumstances shape the way people experience stress, relationships and wellbeing.

Working from a values-based perspective, Immie partners with clients to clarify what matters most and to set realistic goals for life, work, career and family satisfaction. She emphasises an unconditionally accepting, non-judgemental stance that helps people explore sensitive topics such as trauma, attachment, self-esteem and the practical stresses of daily life.

Immie adopts a holistic view of wellbeing, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with practical support so clients can develop skills and make changes that feel authentic to them. She is registered with AHPRA - the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - which denotes professional registration to practise in Australia. Her approach aims to empower people to create a life they can be proud of while honouring their values and individual pace of change.

Evidence-Based Care and Values-Led Support Online

Immie combines a values-based approach with practical, evidence-based techniques. The values-based approach helps clients identify what matters most to them and then set achievable goals that align with those priorities - useful for life transitions, career or family concerns and finding purpose.

She also applies evidence-based strategies focused on skills development to manage stress, anxiety, ADHD symptoms and self-esteem concerns. These techniques teach practical tools for coping, emotion regulation and problem solving that can be practiced between sessions.

For clients who have experienced trauma or relationship wounds, Immie offers sensitive, paced support aimed at improving safety, attachment and coping. That work prioritises stabilization and gradual processing, tailored to each person’s readiness and needs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Immie works with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences and life circumstances, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Immie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and continue therapy from wherever they are, while fitting sessions into busy lives.
