Men struggle to open up about whats troubling them. How do I know? Because I bottled my own troubles up for 30 years! Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, anxiety and burnout are all challenges I've worked through since I was 8 years old. I've learned through my own journey, that bottling things up doesn't help; and through Mindful Men, I aim to inspire men to open up, get the help they need, and live a life full of hope, purpose and joy.

There is nothing more tender or beautiful than a woman’s heart. We can’t help but feel the call to serve & give ourselves to others. Sometimes to the detriment of ourselves. While we are known to be the heart & peacemakers of our homes, we can often miss the importance of being fully present & connected to ourselves, our emotions & our seasons. It is my desire to help women find their peace within themselves, no matter their season. To know their unique identity, connect with their potential & discover their raw beauty. To help reignite their dreams & passions. To give themselves the time & permission, to practice self compassion.

I have been working in the fields of family therapy and stress-related disorders and conditions for more than twenty-two years, since being an army chaplain both in the South African and Australian Defence Forces during times of military conflict (I served for extensive periods on the front lines of battle and experienced the horrors of traumatic incidents, death, loss, brokenness, anger and excessive aggression behind retaliation on the front line). Touched by the distress of those around me, I realised that we have to be proactive and therefore intentionally develop sustainable resilience before facing extreme distress!

I’ve been in the mental health and disability sector for over 25 years, and walked alongside people and families, and had the joy of being reminded how unique each and every one of us is. Just like you, I’m on the journey of designing a life that matters including paid or unpaid work, health, love, and play (I love live streaming series and movies, reading and learning. Italian and Bachata are my latest conquests). One of Clair’s superpowers is her ability to truly listen and understand her clients and their needs. She passionately works with participants and their loved ones to get what is important to them.

I have an incredible passion and commitment to working with people whose lives have been pushed around by a broad range of mental health issues. I hope in meeting with people that they will feel heard, validated, and not judged. I hope that people will leave each conversation having had a very different sort of conversation, a conversation where people leave with a greater understanding of their issues and the context surrounding the issue, what they might be preferring for their life and how that might be possible.

I offer in-person psychological counselling in Gold Coast and Byron Bay, plus Telehealth worldwide. Counselling can be an empowering process that supports you to develop a deeper understanding of the areas of life that are preventing you from living a full and enriching life. Many people experience difficulties with truly understanding themselves, why their relationships are stressful or dissatisfying, why they feel they're not succeeding in their work, why they engage in self-defeating behaviour patterns and self-critical ways of thinking. Counselling can help you answer these "whys" and support you in making the necessary changes.

I have experienced the healing work of the creative arts when I had no voice, facing uncertainty and wanting to move on from the pain of trauma. My hope is that you will experience hope, freedom and healing with the creative arts as we explore moving from surviving to thriving. I bring into the counselling space insight and wisdom from my theraputic experience, training and personal growth in understanding the need for self expression.

Having spent many years in working with people recovering from natural disasters in Queensland, I understand that very often, it is the ‘straw that breaks the camel’s back’ that will bring a person into the counselling room. Having said that, some may enter the counselling environment looking for personal growth, while embarking on a new season in life. While others may be looking to find solutions to a problem, heal a troubled relationship, overcome anxiety or depression, or perhaps the time has come to work through past hurts, traumas or grief that are still impacting.

My comprehensive assessment process is based on psychological best practice and considers the whole child to deliver a diagnostic overview of their neurotype, strengths and difficulties and emotional experiences. This provides a solid foundation on which to build child-centered intervention, support and understanding.
