Not at all! Our priority is to facilitate a safe, identify-affirming therapeutic relationship with individual clients and the wider community. While Bec has a special interest in supporting queer and Neurodivergent people, this is not compulsory to access our service.

At present, this is a telehealth only service, meaning sessions are available online through video call or, alternatively, via phone call. While we do have future plans to provide a physical practice site, we are currently unable to provide a date this will be available. If you would prefer to see somebody for face to face sessions, please visit our resources page for a list of alternative services that may be useful.

Bec specialises in working with adolescents (12-17yo) and adults. Please note that those under 16 years of age will require parental consent to access these services.

Assessments for ADHD and Autism are currently only available to clients aged 16+.

If you are unable to attend your appointment, or need to change your appointment time, we kindly request you provide a mininum of 24 hours notice. Less than 24 hours notice, or non-attendance to a session, will incur a cancellation fee of $25.00. If you are running late to your appointment, please contact us at hello@becelliott.com.au and let us know as early as possible.

Neurodiversity refers to the variety of neurotypes that exist in the world, recognising the reality that we don’t all work the same way. The Neuro-affirming approach emphasises that variations in brain functioning are normal, and many of the differences referred to as ‘disorders’ are not a problem to be fixed, but simply a divergent neurotype that requires different support and accommodations.

‘Neurodivergent’ refers to those of us who’s brains don’t function in a typical way, and is commonly used as an umbrella term for people with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD.

For a long time, identifying as LGBTQIA+ was considered a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and Gender Dysphoria is still listed as a condition. While the field of psychology now recognises that the treatment for gender dysphoria is gender-affirming care, we still have strides to make in ensuring that LGBTQIA+ people feel respected and treated with dignity when accessing health services.

Bec Elliott Psychology offers a welcoming and non-judgmental service, recognising that diversity in sexuality and gender should be supported and celebrated.

Health at Every Size is an approach to health service provision that supports people of all shapes and sizes to take care of their health without the use of weight-shaming and weight loss focused interventions.

We reject the notion that body size determines health and wellbeing, and support clients to develop self-compassion, body acceptance, and a healthy relationship with food.
