About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Fogolin is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with 17 years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck after major changes, and those dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Elizabeth also supports people working through communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
She prefers short, direct conversations that help clarify what matters now. Sessions focus on naming what feels hard, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying small changes to test what helps. Elizabeth aims to make it straightforward to talk about painful events and reactions without using clinical jargon.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by sexual abuse and other traumatic experiences, and with those coping with loss. Over 17 years she has developed ways to help people rebuild confidence and cope with life transitions. She draws on approaches that are evidence-based and practical rather than theoretical.
Elizabeth pays attention to compassion fatigue and how ongoing caring roles can drain energy. She helps clients spot signs of burnout and try steps to restore balance. Conversations may cover boundaries, self-directed routines, and realistic goal-setting.
Sessions are conducted in English and Italian when helpful. Prospective clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. For example, trauma-focused work helps people identify how past events affect current reactions, and then introduces manageable ways to reduce distress and regain control. For grief, she uses structured conversation and memory-focused tasks to help people make sense of loss and find ways to carry on with daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust strategies based on what actually helps. This means the chosen approach can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy across moves or job changes, while the therapist and client decide together which ways of working suit the client's routine and energy levels.
