Ellis Mccauley

I bring a non-judgmental, curious, compassionate presence to support the exploration of moment to moment experience as it relates to thoughts, emotions, body sensations & awareness. By slowing down the momentum of experience, it becomes possible to increase understanding, which results in a wider range of choice. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, values-driven, experiential and empathetic. I will respect your pace, listen to what you believe is best as well as challenge you to consider if your choices fit what you most want and care about. While we will sometimes ‘talk about’ stuff and explore insights and interpretations, if analysis becomes the default I will encourage a deeper inquiry or steps that move you towards your goals. With caring, I will pay attention to what you most want and sometimes this means interrupting or challenging habitual stories or choices that steer off this path. I view my clients as fellow travelers, with an ability to see their path due to my vantage point and experience. I see our work as a collaboration, a co-creation. I see my role as that of teacher, guide, mentor, coach, collaborator, witness, mirror.
