Who is Kerry Ellis?

Kerry Ellis is a Sydney counsellor, clinical hypnotherapist and coach with offices in the North Western Suburbs of Quakers Hill and Marsden Park.

She has experience helping clients struggling with addiction, anxiety, grief and trauma. She has a passion for helping people to feel better about themselves in a safe, supportive environment.

Kerry’s Background

Kerry started working in banking and finance as a school leaver. From there she moved to a senior management role in Superannuation. Along the way, she realised the toll an unhealthy work-life balance can have on one’s physical and mental health.

Kerry sought her own health tools to help her along her corporate path and realised massage therapy was an intervention she enjoyed. She enjoyed it so much she studied a Diploma of massage therapy, Corporate Stress Therapies and Sports Injury Therapy.

During Kerry’s 20-year term as a massage therapist, she realised there were other modalities and ways of working with people to help them along their path in life. Kerry studied a Bachelor of Counselling and Applied Social Science, later adding Certificate of Life Coaching and a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). 

Kerry identified a pattern in the stories her clients were sharing. That was, no matter the reason clients sought help, the majority of clients had feelings of Low Self Esteem and Low Self Worth. Kerry  found that by helping clients feel better about themselves, they are more empowered and better positioned to find answers and roads to be the “captain of their own ship” – able to control their paths and make suitable life choices.

Along the way, Kerry understood that some clients didn’t need counselling, they just needed assistance creating and focusing on life goals. This led Kerry to continuing study in Life Coaching.

Forever the motivated practitioner eager to find any way possible to help clients, Kerry studied Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP where she describes this as an opportunity to add another “tool to her toolbox” when searching for ways to help clients. Kerry believes a one size fits all approach does not work for anyone, and being skilled at offering different ways of working with clients was essential to client welfare and successful outcomes.

“My passion is helping people to feel better about themselves in a safe, supportive environment.”

A note from Kerry

I walked the corridors of many office buildings in many varied corporate roles, feeling lost and unsure about my life’s purpose.
Personal and professional activities and events found me seeking the wisdom of professionals and looking deeper inside myself to ask and answer questions.
One thing led to another, and I found myself leaving the business/corporate area over 20 years ago to start working for myself as a Remedial massage therapist. From here, I realised the fragility of the human mind and the sadness in some stories I would be told whilst clients relaxed.
This generated a desire to train as a professional mind worker with the express intent of assisting as many people as possible feel better about themselves and know that positive change is very real and very possible.

Scroll forward to today, and my commitment to assisting individuals toward real positive change has only gotten stronger. I am an enthusiastic professional, always looking to further my knowledge and understanding of as many aspects of the brain as possible so that the client and I can work on a more detailed therapeutic plan best suited to their individual needs.
Using my corporate training in public speaking and a general understanding of people from all socioeconomic arenas, coupled with my professional training in Counselling, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Pain relief and social science, I am adequately equipped to support clients in their desire to move toward positive change.

Kerry’s Passion

The longer I spend working with people, the more I understand there are so many ways I can learn to be with a client, so that I can best help and support them in their journey. Continuing professional development is not only mandatory to remain a member of my professional associations, but it is also very important to me to make sure I keep my “tool box” full of ideas and knowledge never knowing when any or all of it may be useful for a client. No client is the same no matter their diagnosis or condition, so why wouldn’t I learn as many ways as possible of navigating a way through the fog and sometimes darkness for the client.
