Elisa Dalla Vedova

I currently have availability on Tuesday, Friday and one space Thursday afternoon.

Hello and welcome, I’m Elisa. I am a qualified integrative counsellor and I bring together different approaches to offer support that feels right for you.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming — whether you are facing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, or navigating a big life change. In our sessions, you will find a safe and caring space where you can talk openly and be truly heard, without fear of judgement.

I see counselling as a collaborative process. I will walk alongside you, listening deeply, helping you to make sense of your experiences and to reconnect with your inner resources. Together, we will explore ways to build resilience, nurture self-worth and support you in moving towards choices that feel more fulfilling and authentic to you.

I draw on elements of person-centred, gestalt and existential approaches, and where helpful, I may bring in creative or practical strategies. My approach is always adapted to your needs and to the pace that feels right for you.

I offer counselling in person in Eastbourne and online. If you’d like to see if we might work well together, I warmly invite you to get in touch for a free initial 20-minute chat. 

When you come into my practice, I want you to feel that you can exhale — that this is a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or hide any part of yourself. Some clients arrive carrying long-term burdens, others are facing a sudden crisis, and many are somewhere in between. Whatever you bring, I will meet you there.

You can expect me to listen with care and curiosity, to sit with you through silence if words are difficult, and to gently offer reflections that may help you see your experience in a new light. Sometimes our work will involve talking through your story and feelings; at other times, we might use more creative methods — for example, exploring metaphors, working with symbols, or paying attention to what your body is telling us. This flexibility allows us to find the language, spoken or unspoken, that feels most natural to you.

My role is not to give you quick answers, but to help you connect with your own resources so that change becomes possible and sustainable.

I see this work as a shared journey: you bring your lived experience, I bring my presence and professional skills, and together we create a space where healing and growth can happen.

Counselling enhanced my life and led me to where I am today. I am passionate about helping you to build the life that you want.
