Therapy that honours the complexity of real life.
Thoughtful psychological therapy for adults and couples in North Perth.
At Elysian House Psychology, therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of what has been difficult to carry alone. Founded by Registered Psychologist Tenille Zekas, Elysian House provides attachment-informed therapy for people seeking greater understanding, emotional wellbeing, and more sustainable ways of living and relating.
The Approach
Warm, grounded, and genuinely human
Grounded in attachment theory, relational psychology, and contemporary understandings of the nervous system, Tenille offers a reflective and collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity and compassion, deepen their understanding of longstanding patterns, strengthen their relationships, and move towards a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned.
Thoughtful and practical
Therapy with Tenille is insight-oriented while remaining grounded in the realities of everyday life. Together, you will explore not only present challenges, but also the emotional and relational patterns that may be influencing how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. The intention is always to support meaningful and lasting change.
Honouring the wisdom of the body
Contemporary understandings of emotional wellbeing increasingly acknowledge the important role of the nervous system in shaping how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Where appropriate, therapy may incorporate mindfulness, Mindful Self-Compassion, and gentle attention to bodily experiences to support emotional regulation, deepen self-understanding, and cultivate a kinder relationship with oneself.

Tenille Zekas
Registered Psychologist · MAPS · 20+ Years Experience
Tenille is known for her warm, deeply attuned, and grounded therapeutic style — creating a space where clients feel genuinely understood without judgement or pathologising.
Her work integrates attachment theory, nervous system awareness, relational psychology, and evidence-based practice to help clients develop greater self-understanding, emotional clarity, relational security, and more sustainable ways of living and relating.
We won’t rush past what’s happening now, nor will we lose ourselves entirely in the past. We’ll seek to understand your experiences in context, honour the ways you’ve adapted, and support you to move towards a life that feels more connected, sustainable, and aligned.
Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience across public, private, and community mental health settings, Tenille brings both clinical rigour and genuine human warmth to every therapeutic relationship.

Before You Begin
What to expect
Psychological therapy is a talk-based intervention for mental health issues and concerns. Initially there will be an assessment phase (1–3 sessions) where we identify what will be addressed in therapy and determine if there is good capacity to work together. Regular appointment times are then set to support commitment to the therapeutic process.
Sessions generally last 50–55 minutes. Tenille offers both face-to-face and Telehealth options for individual therapy. Telehealth can be via phone call or videoconference.
Please note: Tenille’s areas of expertise do not include domestic violence, acute suicidality, eating disorders, or substance use and abuse.
