Elin Vaasa
Clinical lead / therapist
Fifteen years in talking therapy, with a steady focus on anxiety and burnout recovery. Elin holds the clinical standard for the whole studio.
About the studio
A quiet practice with clinical spine.
Slate Harbor began the way most good things do, slowly and out of necessity.
Two practitioners who were tired of care that felt rushed and transactional set out to build something calmer. A studio where the room is unhurried, the notes are honest, and nobody is treated as a case number.
What we hold to
Three commitments
01
Composure over spectacle
We do not chase quick fixes or dramatic breakthroughs. Steady, repeatable progress is the thing that actually holds when you leave the room.
02
Evidence you can trust
Our methods are grounded in recognised, well-studied approaches. We tell you what the research supports and where the honest limits are.
03
Access is care
Understanding your rights and paperwork is part of wellbeing, not separate from it. We help you navigate the systems, not just your feelings.
Where we work
The studio sits a short walk from the water, in a converted quayside room with tall windows and soft daylight. It was chosen on purpose. The setting is part of the treatment.
Sessions run in person or by secure video, whichever lets you breathe more easily. There is no waiting-room shuffle and no clipboard at the door.
The small team
Three people, one standard
Marcus Threlfall
Wellbeing coach
A former case worker turned coach who is at his best helping people rebuild routines and boundaries after a hard season.
Nadia Okonkwo
Access and rights guide
Nadia untangles the documentation side of care, from eligibility to benefits, so the practical barriers stop getting in the way.

Come and see the room
If the approach sounds like the kind of care you have been missing, we would love to talk it through.
