Robyn Elliott, B.A.Hons, G.D.Org Ch & Dev, M.Fam.Ther, M.S.W.
Robyn is a Mental Health Social Worker and Family Therapist with over 30 years' experience in the health and welfare, and tertiary education fields. An employee of La Trobe University since 1998, she is the Course Lead for Family Therapy in the Department of Psychology, Counselling and Therapy. Courses in family therapy are delivered in conjunction with The Bouverie Centre. While her clinical practice is with individuals, couples and families, and individual and group supervision across a range of presentations, her area of special interest is trauma and other mental health challenges that might benefit from the systemic integration of more individual approaches such as EMDR, havening, DBR and IFS. This interest crosses over into her work in the education of family therapists, and particularly how to resource students to manage performance anxiety in both clinical and supervision contexts. Robyn has provided consultation and training nationally and internationally to health and welfare professionals in family therapy, trauma, and in the supervision of family therapists.
