Elaine Salansan-Ferrer

Registered Psychologist

“Licensed psychologist with 15 years of work experience for both clinical and organizational setting using an integrative, existential-humanistic psychotherapy approach with focus on individual psychotherapy, couples therapy and group / employee wellness interventions.”

About Me

This psychologist supports individuals, couples, and groups in navigating life's complexities. With 15 years of experience in clinical and organisational settings, they offer an integrative, existential-humanistic approach. This means exploring your unique experiences and finding meaning together. Whether through individual therapy, couples sessions, or employee wellness interventions, clients discover a thoughtful, collaborative space. This approach helps those seeking deeper self-understanding and practical ways to move forward.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a practical exploration of choices and meanings, paced to your readiness and focused on what feels most pressing. I offer secure online sessions in English and Tagalog, and I tend to blend reflective listening with gentle experiments—short practices, relational re-framing, or grounding tools you can try between meetings. The work is collaborative, direct and attuned to life transitions, grief, stress or relationship strains, and often helpful for those seeking clearer direction and steadier coping.
