About me

Relationship and family therapist working with compassionate curiosity in who you are, what you need and what’s happening for you right now. I am widely experienced in working with individuals, couples and family relationship dynamics that guide you to an emotionally safe, strong and connected place with research based strategies that give you evidence of change. We will work together to find safety in change; deepen your relationship with yourself and others and build a language of truth and identity that reflects who you are. I offer safe and confidential sessions in person and online from my office in the beautiful town of St Andrews, Fife. A complimentary 20 minute Zoom session to meet me and discuss your needs is always encouraged and available as part of your search for the right therapist for you.  Working together, and from a trauma informed perspective,  I can support your understanding of what has happened to you and it's impact on your life now.. My specialism is in relationship therapy and I work with couples, ENM/multi partnered relationships and families where Neurodivergence is present. Building communication skills that enable you to feel seen, understood, self advocate, and hear without fear is a big part of the work I do whilst honouring your neurotype. 

As a supervisor I work from a pluralistic modality drawing on feminist and 7 eyed model theories to guide my work with you inside, online and outside. I am a qualified eco supervisor. My role as a supervisor is to work collaboratively with you, the ever journeying professional, and support your work, professional goals and needs, and create space for challenge and growth of you. A person first, a professional second. I love my role as a supervisor and enjoy the interaction around theory and practice combined with knowledge and expertise of ND - a lens that adds grace and understanding whilst dismantling shame and expectations from a NT world. 

Please feel free to connect with me by phone or email.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

My main area of expertise is in relationships, and I work with the subtle and challenging use of language that disconnects us from ourselves, and others we are in relationship with. I have a special professional interest in the use of micro aggressions embedded in language that are discreet triggers in relationships.
