PGDip, MA (Hons), MBACP, MBPS. Based in Aberdeen.
If you are needing a confidential space to explore and understand what you are going through, I am here to help.
I offer ‘one to one’ counselling for young people and adults, as well as couple's counselling. We have the choice of meeting at my counselling space, which is based in Aberdeen, or we can meet online or by telephone, whichever feels best for you.
My work is grounded in a person-centred, non-directive approach, and I value your autonomy. While our work together is primarily led by you, I may bring in other therapeutic interactions, such as offering gentle guidance or psychoeducation if it feels supportive, appropriate and useful for you.
You don't have to face this alone.
My training and experience
Alongside my private practice, I work with national charitable organisations, providing therapeutic support for their communities. I previously had the privilege of working for a local mental health charitable organisation, as staff counsellor in their adult counselling service.
As a trauma-informed practitioner, my continued professional development and training includes, but is not limited to: understanding and managing depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, life transitions, relationship issues, behavioural changes, financial stress, addictive behaviours.
I am experienced working with neurodivergence, with an understanding of how individuals who are neurodivergent may experience symptoms of anxiety, or depression due to social or communication challenges and sensory sensitivity to the world around them. Counselling can provide a trusted space to explore and understand the difficulties you may face.
