About Me
About Me
My path into counselling began when I stepped away from my career in marketing and events to become a volunteer counsellor with NSPCC Childline. I worked there for 6 years before deciding to take the plunge and return to university to complete a Masters in Counselling at Abertay.
Alongside my my private practice I also work as a counsellor at Cruse and Place2Be. In addition, I am a therapeutic bereavement worker at the Sunrise Partnership and run an alopecia support group in Aberdeen.
Therapy with Me
My Approach
What to Expect
What to Expect
I am trained in pluralistic therapy, which means I will draw from a range of evidence based approaches guided by your goals, strengths and preferences. I offer a flexible and reflective perspective that focuses on what matters most to you.
My way of working is creative and collaborative, grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful safe space for healing, self understanding and growth.
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, so I aim to make those first steps feel calm and supportive. I offer a warm, steady, compassionate space where you can take a moment to pause and begin to reflect upon what’s been happening, find ways to move forward and make positive change.

What to Expect
During our first session we will discuss what has brought you to therapy, explore any challenges and clarify therapeutic goals. From there we can look at different approaches which may help. Common approaches I may draw upon are
- Person Centered
- ACT and CBT
- Humanistic
- Mindfulness
- Narrative
You may decide that you would like counselling for a focused piece of work or longer term support to work through more complex issues.
In order to maximise the effectiveness of therapy, I believe regular reviews are important to assess what is and what is not working.
