Elaine Avellana
Psychologist
“While I may never fully grasp how you are currently feeling and thinking, my 16 years of experience with children and adolescents taught me the value of cultivating hobbies if you’re not yet ready to talk about what consumes you. Feel free to leave your details below and give me at least three working days to read it.”
About Me
I understand that it can be challenging to voice difficult feelings directly. Having supported children and adolescents for 13 years, I help young people explore hobbies and engaging activities. These sessions offer a gentle, non-pressured space to process emotions. This approach suits those who prefer to express themselves through action, fostering resilience at their own pace.
Approach
If speaking about what feels heavy isn’t possible yet, I create session time where making, moving or focused activity leads the way so feelings can surface naturally. I see adolescents and adults in Makati and online, offering sessions in English or Tagalog, and I read your intake thoughtfully before our first meeting. Sessions are paced slowly, with brief experiments, value-guided choices and gentle reflection; you’ll often leave with a small, doable task to try between appointments. This approach tends to suit those facing transitions, grief, low mood or the challenges of adolescence.
