Imalka "Immie" Elrington is a psychologist registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) who brings five years of clinical experience across both public and private sectors. She has supported clients across the lifespan and works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD, along with related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication challenges, and life transitions.

Working from a values-based perspective, she helps clients clarify what matters most to them and aligns therapeutic goals with their personal, family, career, and life priorities. Her approach emphasizes unconditional acceptance and a non-judgemental stance, with a holistic view of wellbeing that considers each person’s unique context. She collaborates with clients to explore practical strategies, strengthen self-understanding, and support meaningful change that fits the way they want to live.

Immie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide and empower people toward increased resilience and satisfaction in their daily lives. She aims to create a professional and productive therapeutic relationship in which clients feel seen, understood, and equipped to pursue the outcomes that matter to them.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care

Imalka "Immie" Elrington uses a values-based approach that helps clients identify their core priorities and translate those values into achievable goals. This approach supports people working through life, career, family, and relationship decisions by keeping therapy focused on what matters most to the individual.

She also applies trauma-informed, evidence-based techniques designed to help people process difficult experiences and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and abuse. These techniques aim to improve emotional regulation, strengthen interpersonal patterns, and restore a sense of agency following challenging life events.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Imie works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so the work remains practical and meaningful.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. Working with licensed professionals via these channels makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from the place that suits the client best.
