“Firefly Therapies is founded on the belief that self love, purpose, nature connection and community are the basis of what human beings really need to thrive.”

- Charley Elliott

Welcome to my about me page, here is my story.

I have been working with mental health organisations and other associated services for over 25 years. 

My power comes from first hand experience with trauma and its devastating effects. I have personally had to overcome challenges associated with (complex) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I am excited to promote and share the methods and experiences that made all the difference to me and my life. 

My story includes a lifetime of crippling anxiety and depression, years of bulimia, self harm & suicidal ideation, toxic relationships, feeling disconnected and never feeling enough. My transformational journey from that place into the much calmer, happier, more present and highly motivated being that I am today is a direct result of practices that I am offering.

My work across Mental Health has covered almost all aspects for UK (London) Community Focused Rehabilitation, Recovery and Personal Development programs. 
This includes:

  • Leading Borough co-production Team management;

  • Direct (1:1 and group) coaching;

  • Workshop design and delivery;

  • Event coordination;

  • Community engagement projects; and

  • Community and patient representation;

This work led me to consultancy contracts in Care Leaver Life Skill Training design and delivery for ROAR Pursuits (www.witharoar.com), as well as an Improvement Change Management Project for a 10 bed Care home for female care leavers for EACH CARE.

I have also studied Spiritual Emergence with Emma Bragdon in Brazil.. And I am a qualified therapeutic masseur and sound healer.

I have most recently become certified as a Level 5 Diploma IFEEL Method of Equine Facilitated Human Development (Ofqual regulated training) practitioner for the professional facilitation of human development, behaviour change and growth in partnership with horses.

If any of this resonates pick up the phone and lets see how you could also transform your life.
