Hi, I’m Kelly Elliston, RP (Qualifying).
I work with adults and older adults who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. My goal is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can feel truly heard, supported, and gently encouraged to reconnect with your own strength and insight.
My approach is multimodal, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic tools and frameworks, depending on your needs. At its heart, my work is person-centered—I believe therapy works best when it’s rooted in real human connection, not clinical distance.
I’m not your “typical” therapist—I’m a bit quirky, warm, and down-to-earth. I bring humor, curiosity, and authenticity into the therapy room, because I believe healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. Sometimes a good laugh or an unexpected question can open new doors.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked and volunteered in a variety of unique settings: with at-risk youth in inner-city schools, supporting families in NICU and pediatric respite rooms, and learning in Sri Lanka, where I was exposed to more Eastern approaches to healing—including Ayurvedic principles, Buddhist teachings, and psychiatric collaboration. I’ve also worked in long-term care, which deepened my appreciation for the emotional experiences of aging, caregiving, and resilience.
These experiences shape how I show up: present, open, and always curious about the uniqueness of your story.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), currently completing the final stage of my clinical training. I welcome clients from all walks of life and would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

My educational background in kinesiology, psychology, neuroscience, and naturopathic medicine brings a holistic and evidence-informed perspective to my approach to mental health care.
Throughout my life, I’ve encountered experiences that empowered me to push through challenges and others that tested my resilience and perseverance. These moments have shaped who I am today. This is a glimpse into my story, now I ask, what makes the unique you, you? Through cultural humility, I hope to explore this question with you and offer the space, compassion, and respect you deserve.
As our therapeutic relationship develops, I will draw from evidence-based approaches including narrative, cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and emotion-focused therapies to support your journey. Together, we will identify what resonates most with you, ensuring our work reflects your unique experiences, values, and goals.
