About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fogolin is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people carrying guilt and shame alongside concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem and the stress of life changes.
She keeps conversations direct and simple. Elizabeth helps people name what feels heavy, notice how it affects day to day life, and take small, practical steps to feel less stuck. She also has experience supporting those who face compassion fatigue and motivation struggles.
Sessions focus on processing painful memories and the feelings that follow them. Elizabeth listens for the parts of a story that sustain shame or guilt and helps clients test different ways of thinking and acting. This can include looking at self‑judgement, boundaries, and choices around forgiveness.
Her approach is straightforward and process‑oriented. People can expect calm pacing, clear discussion of what is happening, and joint planning of next steps. She aims to help clients notice progress in ordinary moments rather than promise quick fixes.
Elizabeth speaks English and Italian. She works from the perspective of many years of practice with trauma, loss and self‑esteem issues. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule a first session using the service's booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Elizabeth uses evidence‑based techniques to help people process trauma and reduce the hold of shame and guilt. One approach focuses on careful processing of painful memories and feelings so they become less intrusive; this helps when past events keep repeating in thought or emotion. Another approach looks at self‑critical beliefs and behaviour patterns, helping clients try different responses in everyday situations to test new ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, what has helped before, and practical preferences, then decide together which methods to use and how to adapt them over time.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make therapy fit routine life by removing travel, allowing a shorter check‑in on busy days, or letting people join from a quieter room. These practical benefits often help people keep sessions regular and focus on steady progress rather than one‑off fixes.
