Ready to Yarn: Accredited Mental Health Social Worker & Counsellor in Gold Coast and Mount Isa. Offers hope and support for those finding it tough getting through difficult situations – it may be mental health, past trauma or ongoing dramas. In all of these situations people may need engagement with a service such as this, not just to find the way through, but to experience healing. Jonathan McClelland opened the Ready to Yarn service in recognition that existing services don’t always have the answers. There are cracks people can fall through, and what is often needed is consistent, supportive counselling with a therapist able to show recognition, and able to work in partnership with them on their unique journey.

I have over 10 years of experience working within an Attachment Theory framework. I assist holistically by incorporating interventions such as person-centred, Narrative Therapy, CBT, Trauma-informed, and Play Therapy. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, child and adolescent issues, postpartum support, and couples counselling. I am a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) which regulates Psychotherapists and Counsellors codes of ethics and conduct and I regularly participate in clinical supervision.
