Elanie De Klerk: Counsellor in Clarkson, WA
Trauma therapy, EMDR and couples counselling in Clarkson.
ACA Registered Clinical Counsellor
With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I create a safe space for healing and personal transformation. Whether you’re seeking individual support or relationship guidance, I am here to help you navigate life’s challenges and build a more fulfilling future.
Welcome.
I’m Elanie, an ACA Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDR therapist at The Beach Haven. I work with both couples and individuals (aged 16+), offering counselling in both English and Afrikaans. I specialise in:
- Couples Counselling: I help partners build strong and lasting connection by fostering trust, communication and mutual understanding. I provide practical tools to help you navigate conflict, decode love languages, and overcome challenges together.
- Individual Counselling: I specialize in healing the effects of childhood trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, helping individuals break free from past wounds and build resilience.
I have been married for three decades and have raised three children, giving me deep insight into the complexities of relationships, parenting, and personal growth.
Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.
Welcome to The Beach Haven.
The Beach Haven was intentionally designed to feel comfortable and welcoming. The space is soft and homely, far removed from a cold, clinical room. We invite you to step out of the rush of your day, take a breath, and focus entirely on your well-being.
Couples Counselling
Building trust, connection, and communication between partners, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method.
Trauma Counselling
Safely processing trauma and past experiences to reclaim your present life. Using compassionate, trauma-informed Schema Therapy and EMDR.
How I can support you.
I believe that therapy works best when it is treated as a collaborative partnership, tailored entirely to who you are and what you need. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I create a safe space for healing and personal transformation.
My primary areas of focus include:
Specialised EMDR Therapy
Processing overwhelming or traumatic memories held in your nervous system. Using evidence-based techniques to reduce emotional triggers.
Counselling Supervision
ACA-recognised clinical supervision for practitioners. Helping counsellors build clinical reasoning and safely navigate complex cases.
Counselling for Personal Growth
Breaking free from emotional overwhelm and building self-worth. Navigating major life transitions to create lasting, positive change.
Parenting and Family Support
Behavioural challenges, communication breakdown, and stress. Building strategies to strengthen family bonds and boundaries.
The Beach Haven values influence how I work
Counselling is an intimate relationship. Bringing someone into some of the most challenging areas of your life is not easy. My work at The Beach Haven Counselling in Clarkson is defined by 3 core values:
AUTONOMY
Your pace, your choice. Therapy is a collaboration, not an instruction manual. You always have the final say on what you share and when you are ready to share it.
RESPECT
A judgment free zone. I look at your world through your eyes, never taking sides or making assumptions. You are safe to bring your raw, honest self. I respect your culture and your story.
TRUST & SAFETY
A secure foundation. Healing requires a rock-solid container. I protect your privacy and uphold the highest professional ethics so you can explore and change safely.
Training and Credentials
When you are facing complex life challenges, a standard, one-size-fits-all approach to counselling isn’t enough.
My professional training, certifications and registrations
Professional standards.
Counsellors at The Beach Haven all work within the Code of Ethics and Practice of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). If you have any concerns, you may lodge a complaint directly with the ACA via their Lodging a Complaint webpage.
