Clear Lake Counselling

When the mud of the mind settles, a clear lake emerges.

The right counsellor can make all the difference.

I consider myself to be a cross between an investigative reporter and a master conversationalist, with an intimate knowledge of how to make change through my own lived experience.



As I apply this knowledge to our caring conversations, we will build a comfortable partnership as we make sense of things and highlight previously under-appreciated strengths and qualities that will undoubtedly inspire and maybe even surprise you!

I am fairly proficient in making change with people but not by telling you what to do. The right question at the right time can have a profound impact, and I am more interested in learning about what makes you tick than telling you what I think!

I’ve made change in my own life, but what worked for me might not be what works for you. I try to be gentle and direct, kind yet firm, and I have been called “compassionate and experienced” by many.

Mostly though, I am curious. Curious about how in the heck these problems are getting away with causing such trouble in our lives!

We will explore the problem (any problem!) together until solutions become clear. Doesn’t take long. Like a unified team of private eyes, we will examine the situation in question to reveal exactly how it has been interfering with the life you’d prefer to be living.


One of my therapeutic mentors (Michael White) said a while back, “The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.” This means the source of the problem is not permanently locked within you, rather it can be seen as a force imposing a negative influence, which creates space for the ability to stand up to it more directly. We just need to figure it out together.

I look forward to getting started with you!
