Who am I?

I am often described by friends, colleagues and clients as warm, empathic, intuitive, down-to-earth, straight-talking and gently humorous. I hope that gives you a sense of what it might feel like to work with me: professional and supportive, but also real, human and approachable.

I have always been deeply curious about people, relationships and what helps us heal, grow and change. I believe we come to understand ourselves more fully through connection, and therapy can offer a safe and meaningful space to begin that process.

How I work

I offer a relaxed, compassionate and professional therapeutic relationship where you can explore what is going on for you without judgement. My aim is to help you better understand yourself, make sense of your experiences, and develop practical tools to manage life’s challenges.

Therapy with me is collaborative. We may explore your past, your relationships, your patterns, your emotions, or the parts of yourself that feel stuck, overwhelmed or conflicted. We will also look at what helps you feel more grounded, confident and able to move forward.

In addition to counselling, I am also an experienced Life and Business Coach, supporting people to create meaningful and lasting change in both their personal and professional lives.

Areas of work

I am particularly passionate about supporting clients with:

  • The impact of childhood experiences on adult life, relationships and self-worth
  • Trauma, including Adverse Childhood Experiences, also known as ACEs
  • Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism
  • Addictions and recovery
  • Relationship difficulties and patterns
  • Couples and family dynamics
  • Life transitions, identity and personal development
  • Workplace stress, confidence, communication and professional wellbeing

Experience and Training

  • Diploma in Counselling
  • Certified Relationship Coach
  • Diploma in Clinical Supervision
  • Registered Practitioner Member with BACP and COSCA
  • PVG registered with Disclosure Scotland

I attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure that my practice remains ethical, reflective and effective. I have also delivered group workshops and retreats and have taught on Counselling Certificate programmes.

Professional Background

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in financial services in roles involving sales, accountancy, relationship management, team building and mentoring. This has given me valuable insight into the pressures of professional and corporate environments, and how relationships, stress and personal wellbeing can influence confidence, performance and fulfilment.

I bring together counselling, coaching, supervision and life experience to offer a grounded, compassionate and practical approach to helping people understand themselves and create change.
