ABOUT ELLE
Elle Stübe is a psychotherapist, relational trauma specialist and expert in human relational needs, with twenty years' experience providing therapeutic support to clients worldwide.
An experienced contemporary somatic (body inclusive) psychotherapist, Elle is one of a small cohort of experientially trained and fully qualified psychotherapists and somatic psychotherapists, in Australia.
A registered Clinical Psychotherapist with the professional association PACFA , Elle is a member of their College of Psychotherapy - the highest national industry standard for psychotherapists.
Clinically, Elle is a pioneer in the 'new paradigm' of mental health - that brings interpersonal neurobiology, psychoanalytic theory, psychological theories and trauma theories together for the first time, to create a radically new way of both making sense of and working with, the human experience.
Elle specialises in the identification and treatment of the often misdiagnosed, misunderstood and simply 'missed' form of trauma known as 'relational trauma' - including complex trauma, developmental trauma, attachment trauma and narcissistic abuse.
Elle is deeply committed to professional development to remain at the cutting edge of international best practice and has undertaken more than 20 years in-person training with some of the world's leading experts in the field - including Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, Allan Schore, Bessel van der Kolk, Janina Fischer, Pat Ogden, Stan Tatkin, Gabor Mate and many more.
Elle also brings extensive personal development to her practice of psychotherapy - including two decades of Buddhist study and practice in both Australia and the US; and three decades of self development. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Elle worked as a freelance writer, ABC trained radio broadcaster, performing artist, PR consultant and social change communications expert.
Outside of the therapy room, Elle is a passionate communicator and consultant on the vital importance of human relational needs.
In a world of increasing polarisation, fragmentation and disconnection, she believes that meaningful connection is the most important and urgent human need of our time.
