About me
Are you someone who identifies as emotionally intense, sensitive, or imaginative, but struggling to work through certain emotions and behaviours? Perhaps you've experienced a trauma that has kept you in a cycle you don't want to be in. My way of working aims to cut right to the heart of difficulty by experiencing emotions deeply in a supportive and dynamic environment. Together we’ll identify areas of shadow and difficulty to allow you to find new strengths and work through knots. If you feel like you are have a sensitive temperament but have been running into walls around making changes, I may be a good fit for you.
My approach draws on Person-Centred and Jungian principles, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS). I use parts work and shadow work to help clients reconnect with aspects of themselves that may feel lost or distant, and that could be contributing to present difficulties.
We'll often use metaphor, imagery, and symbolism to explore your experience and discover strengths, uncover healing, and find new ways forward. At the heart of my practice is supporting your body to process difficult emotions safely and gently, helping you feel more grounded and present in the here and now.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma (SCQF Level 11) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Counselling Skills from the University of Strathclyde, and an MA in History from the University of Glasgow.
I have undertaken additional training on online counselling to help us get the very best from online work.
My background is in Children and Family Support, giving me a breadth of experience working with challenging family dynamics and traumatic childhood experiences. I now work part-time for a charity, counselling with adolescent clients during the week, and spend the rest of the week counselling with adults.
My work aims to be anti-discriminatory, anti-racist, neuro-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming, I have a background in anti-racism and previously specialised in neurodiversity in my career before counselling. If you'd like to hear more details about how this looks in our counselling space together, let me know and I'd be happy to share further details.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
