Fig Tree Psychology is run by registered psychologist, Ellen Allen. Ellen has worked with clients in a variety of settings that includes private practice, not for profit and the corporate sectors. Through her experience working in the fields of family and domestic violence and physical and psychological injury, Ellen has a special interest in the areas of trauma, adjustment and working with individuals to identify inner resources that empower, build resilience and self-awareness, and promote healing, personal growth and wellbeing in times of major transition.
Ellen's approach stems from the key principles of perspective, connection, purpose and reflection in working to support clients identify patterns of belief and behaviour that may be preventing them from moving forward towards positive and meaningful change.
With a wealth of life experience and over thirty years of international work experience, Ellen brings a compassionate and highly personal style to her role, assisting individuals to navigate life challenges and transitions safely and effectively.
Ellen utilises multiple psychological approaches and models to support individual client needs. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and Psycho-education.
Working within an evidence-based framework, Ellen works collaboratively with adult clients (18 years and above) in the areas of depression and anxiety, trauma related conditions, emotional regulation, pain management, stress management and resilience coaching, career and vocational planning, major life transitions and adjustment issues.
