Welcome!
Darren Elliott
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.
You matter. How you are feeling, matters.
I’m Darren. I have a vision of a better future where people reach for the support they could use to thrive today rather than just living another day. Where more humans have access to this kind of mental health support. There’s no shame in reaching for a professional, you would do it for your car or computer repair, why not for relationship repair, or for yourself.
You matter.
Whatever is happening for you, whether it doesn’t seem too bad, or if you can’t hold on a minute longer, you are having a human experience. Share your human experience with someone who understands and take yourself off the desert island.
Thanks for reading. I hope you will stay around to watch some free videos to see what I have for you and if we might be a good fit to work together. Start your personal work today by downloading free PDF worksheets at the bottom of this page. These are a sample of what I make for clients.
Warmly,
Darren Elliott, coach, educator, and registered psychotherapist qualifying

Start your new journey today.
We will nurture compassion and acceptance as we develop awareness of new choices and practice relational skills through relational psychotherapy.
I am trauma informed and work with neuroplasticity.
Relationships matter. Your whole life matters.
Nurture who you want to be and learn skills to deal with the parts of you who sabotage your relationships. Deal with past traumas that are impacting who you are in relationship today. Break the chains of intergenerational trauma and other relational traumas.
Talk to me today about your situation and what you would like to achieve in therapy. No matter what is happening with you, you are a human having a human experience.
You thought you had to do it alone.
You don’t need to do this alone. We humans were not wired to deal with life alone.
If you are trying to rely only on yourself for really important things, for your innermost thoughts and fears, you may be isolating yourself emotionally.
We all need someone in our inner circle, even you.
You owe it to yourself to reach for the support available for you and your relationships to thrive.
Build your best life with what is available to you, this was not available in a meaningful way to most of the previous generations of our recorded history. Only now, are therapists starting to truly understand that your whole life contributes to your mental health, and that we have profound impact on each other. We adapt to those closest in our life, often in defensive ways that cause other relationships to exist on the same narrow plane. Today, you can explore who you are and who you wish to be as a spouse, a best friend, a parent, a child, a sibling, a leader, a teacher, etc. It may not have been safe for your most sensitive parts to emerge in your life as it was, and your stronger, defensive parts may have had to take over.
I will create a clearing for you, where all your parts can emerge to find wholeness by accepting our rotten parts, dealing with past traumas, and being open to new ways of being with others, developing safety for new choices first in your relational therapy sessions.
I’m glad you’re here. We humans are pack animals, we need each other. There is no shame in that.
If the world you have created is not supporting you to feeling fully well and satisfied in your life, you may benefit from both therapy and coaching. There isn’t a class in school about how to create a great life, so here we are. It’s my honour to join you on your journey.
Talk to me today about your situation and what you would like to achieve in therapy.
