I believe when we feel genuinely heard and understood, we are able to access greater insight, healing and sustainable change. I have a special interest in supporting clients with anxiety, burnout, stress, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, neurodivergent experiences (Autism, ADHD, OCD), negative self-image and perfectionistic tendencies. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves and heal from the roots of their presenting challenges, as well as learn and adopt evidence-based strategies to help them live a more meaningful life in accordance with their goals and values.

I work with adults, adolescents, and families who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or periods of deep uncertainty.
I can help by offering a steady, compassionate space where you don’t have to hold everything together or have the right words. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, tense, or unsure why they’re struggling, even though they’ve been coping for a long time. In our work together, we slow things down and gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface

The essence of my therapy is in building solid, safe relationships collaboratively with my clients, catering to the unique needs of each person in a non-judgmental way. Rather than tell someone what they need, I prefer a merging of minds to make meaningful and sustainable differences. Together we explore resources to overcome adversity and suffering whilst learning to accept and adapt to the complicated facets of life where required. My therapeutic approach is also rooted in a deep exploration of early life experiences, with a focus on understanding and facilitating the healing of trauma or patterned behaviour.

I have 7 years experience supporting adults, teens and couples.
I wholeheartedly believe in therapeutic healing through safety, compassion & acceptance in the present moment. If we are in distress, feeling lost, alone, sad, anxious or angry it can be hard to know whom to talk with or, what to talk about. Sometimes we don't want to talk at all to start with and, would prefer to do a creative/movement exercise to express ourselves. Maybe we know exactly what we want to talk about and explore, maybe learning new skills to integrate into daily life. I can be there to support you, whatever stage you are at.

Tuning into Kids, Tuning into Teens: Caring Dads Compostela 2013
Clubhouse Counselling specialises in support for boys and men in transition phases. You know something’s off. The bedroom door stays shut. Screen time has crept up. School feels like a battle. He answers in one word or not at all. Maybe there’s anxiety, ADHD, low motivation or restless energy that makes sitting still almost impossible. Underneath it is a capable young man becoming stuck, drifting into withdrawal or avoidance. These patterns rarely resolve on their own they deepen, and a term becomes a year. My ideal client needs real counselling, delivered in a way he can actually engage with before "stuck" becomes identity.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
