About Nathaniel Tresise
Your Therapist Is Clueless is a comedy theatre show from Nathaniel Tresise, a former front-line mental health worker, performed at Clover Studio.

Through humour and honesty, Nathaniel takes audiences behind the scenes of a system rarely seen on stage. The show returns to the Fringe and carries strong content warnings including themes of crisis mental health and suicide. Suitable for ages 16 and above.
