Elysium Psychology

My review is based upon my experience engaging a psychologist on behalf of my child.I was connected to Elysium Psychology through a life long friend. I found my initial dealings with them to be professional and of a high business standing. Once all of the particulars were set up I was able to engage my son (age 9) with a member of Elysium's staff. The initial consult was in the office, then the sessions were via Zoom, as we were located in Regional Victoria and had little, to no access to qualified professionals.The Zoom sessions were always enjoyable for my son and the homework" was easily accessible and enjoyable for all of us.The team at Elysium were always friendly and a ensure to deal with.Over 12 months later we are still using a lot of the strategies and guides that we were given to assist my son with his concerns."

My experience with elysium has been a horror show. Going through a separation is hard enough. Manoli is so antagonistic that he makes it his mission to trigger me. I had my own psychologist send him a report, and he duely ignored in his pursuit of breaking me, every session. Resulting in a very adverse reaction. I warned him that he was pushing me into fight or flight, and he got both. If your marriage is in trouble, this bloke will ensure its end.

The best psychology ever seen so happy and help me better to deal with my life if anyone wanna psychological treatment you wot be disappointed at all thank again for all the stuff member’s as well

First off, I want it to be known I actually like Katy Dib, I wanted our sessions to continue, as I felt she could help me with my mind despite how she came across.A couple years ago I scheduled an appointment with her, during a time I was going through a lot of terrible circumstances, horrible feelings that included depression and suicidal inclinations. I needed help, and still do.Upon emailing Katy I found her to be robotic and overtly professional, to the point where I felt like she mightn’t be a good fit. Maybe she saves her warm attitude and friendliness for children. I gave her a chance as I needed help to cope.She didn’t come across as personable or friendly in her emails, and I thought as emails would be the main method of contact before my appointment, she would be nicer or not blunt in her written words.When I finally met her and sat down for a session, I found that Katy would talk for extended periods of time. I would begin to talk about what was on my mind, be granted a few moments to talk then she would start talking and she would keep talking. Sure she empathised but she wasn’t concise, and would often ramble.I found myself glancing at her clock throughout the session, stunned that she was chewing up my time and saying nothing of value. I told her I needed to vent, to get things off of my chest and if I had that opportunity, then she would have a foundation of issues for me to work on with her help. But no, she just kept talking with what I felt was feigned sincerity. How can a psychologist help someone if all she does is talk and talk and talk and talk, and then the patient is merely sitting and feeling like they’re paying purely to hear her talk for extended periods of precious time.Bear this in mind, as patients have a need to be heard or at least vent or express themselves, but perhaps Katy didn’t care to listen or just liked the sound of her own voice, but I didn’t get my money’s worth. I was actually frustrated and disappointed by the conclusion of my session.As the session ended she said she would email me to make another appointment, and I pointedly told her that I hope her email etiquette improves. She didn’t look happy to hear me say this, her expression becoming insulted, but I wasn’t lying - she honestly did sound like a robot in her emails and I expected more. At least for her to be personable. She wrote that she would take the feedback onboard but I never saw any evidence that she did. Perhaps she said that to placate me.After that useless hour i wrote her an email detailing how I felt the session had gone, how I was resentful towards her speaking for too long, eating up my time, and I offered feedback for the next session. As I was dealing with confronting and affronting thoughts/feelings/tendencies, I did write in a Strident manner, I will acknowledge that. In return, she expressed through her superiors that she felt uncomfortable in my presence and didn’t want to see me anymore. I don’t believe I did anything to warrant this reaction. I wanted my sessions to continue.With all her training and studying, she couldn’t handle me, couldn’t handle hearing someone criticising her actions, and couldn’t care less to help me cope. She felt I devalued her as a therapist, whereas I feel I was expressing my thoughts on how the session unfolded. I really needed help to deal with the crushing feelings I was experiencing back then, but she had no qualms in abandoning me and hiding behind her superiors.Overall, I don’t recommend seeing her, she will most likely talk over you or chew up your time so you will be forced to sit in the dreary office and listen to her out of politeness, but I do wish her well in life. Everything I’ve written about her and how she conducted herself during our session, is one hundred percent true.
