About Eliza
Eliza Kerle is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, career strain and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and feelings of guilt and shame.
Eliza uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels heavy. She encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways to manage overwhelming reactions.
Her background includes work with people recovering from abuse and those carrying post-traumatic stress. She has supported people through panic attacks, addiction concerns and problems with attachment and abandonment. Her experience spans emotional strain from work and relationship breakdowns.
In sessions she often helps people notice patterns that keep guilt and shame alive. She works on small, achievable steps to change how people respond to those feelings. This can include practising new ways of talking to oneself and trying different approaches to difficult situations.
Eliza asks clients to be clear about what they want to get from therapy. Together they set short-term goals and review progress regularly. The focus is on usable strategies and clearer thinking, so people can carry less burden day to day.
How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Eliza works with straightforward, evidence-based techniques to address difficult emotions. She focuses on helping people notice and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and reacting, which can reduce the hold of guilt and shame. This kind of approach often involves identifying triggers, practising different responses, and trying short behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.She also uses methods aimed at processing distressing memories and reactions from trauma and abuse. These approaches help people reduce intense reactions and build steadier ways of responding to reminders of past harm. Techniques for panic and anxiety focus on calming reactions and planning practical steps for managing sudden symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide what to try first based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are reviewed as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
