About me

Welcome! I’m Eljin Keeling-Johnson

Thank you for visiting my page. I’m an award-winning counselling psychotherapist, coach, and trauma specialist with over 16 years of experience helping people move from stuckness, pain, or overwhelm into clarity, purpose, and empowerment.

I help CEOs, executives, business owners & high achievers release stress, overcome burnout, and find balance, clarity, and fulfilment. Connect – Grow – Thrive.

In 2019, I expanded my work into coaching and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), combining my clinical experience with transformational tools that help clients create lasting change. Over the years, I’ve supported more than 1,600 individuals and delivered 15,500+ hours of hands-on therapy and coaching. My work spans private 1:1 sessions, group programmes, full-day intensives, and multi-day retreats, including five signature programmes I designed for deep healing, growth, and self-mastery.

Much of my expertise was forged in the intense world of addiction recovery, where I not only worked hands-on with clients but also managed a drug and alcohol rehabilitation unit. When the unit lost its funding, I founded Connection Wellbeing Services, creating a space for personalised, results-focused transformation.

I am proud to be recognised globally as one of the Brainz Global 500 practitioners, and I contribute regularly as an exclusive writer for Brainz Magazine, sharing insights on trauma, emotional intelligence, personal growth, and holistic wellbeing.

I then founded Connection Wellbeing Services, providing a holistic range of modalities including therapy, support groups, fitness, yoga, art, outdoor orienteering, and community events.

Further information

The client group that come to me most are;

50% men and 50% women.

The age range that sees me most is approximately between 30-45 although I see all. 

Business owners or trying to get their business up and running.

Successful people that are burnt out and struggle with work-life balance.

People who feel empty, lost, lacking in fulfilment and purpose. 

People who want structure, plans and to discover options on moving forward in life and general management of life better. 

Fears, phobias, anxieties and illness manifested via stress. 

Personal development in understanding oneself.

P.T.S.D/traumatic events. 

I have a lot of people come to me wanting to work through relationship problems, separation and death.

I also have a constant stream of people wanting to work through addictions, change of habits and ADHD too. 

I have great success mostly in helping people manage stress, understand and manage their own thoughts and to heal, release and remove emotional pain, while learning to regulate emotions as a whole better. An overall profound new awareness is gained of yourself, helping you live the life you want to in all areas.

It's important for me, to be upfront, congruent, and honest in all areas with my clientele.

Peace is my greatest value, and being able to actually help my clients in the most proficient way.

I’m direct, yet have an excellent rapport with all my clientele.

I do not believe in a 'best way' to practice, but to meet my clientele to the uniqueness of their own fingerprint.
