About me

I am open to whoever comes to counselling with whatever issue. As a person-centred counsellor I very much believe that the atmosphere of trust and deep empathy is at the core of healing; any models and methods can well be integrated as useful tools, but essentially I am interested in helping a client find him/herself in an authentic way. I offer myself as a witness who is willing to accompany the client's journey into self-discovery and therefore recovery from imposed upon outdated conditions.

My approach is non-prescriptive and honours the client's own insights and wisdom. Very often our joined exploration leads to the edge of awareness and beyond. Touching into feelings and allowing them out of hiding opens new vistas into a happier, self-empowered present. Accepting oneself whole-heartedly seems to be a prerequisite to living one's life more fully, and it is, so my experience with clients, very possible to re-write one's own 'script' in a much healthier way.

I am a counsellor member of COSCA,  Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland, and adhere to their Code of Practice and Statement of Ethics.  I am insured with 'Holistic  Insurance' and attend regular supervision by a COSCA and BACP registered and accredited supervisor.

My private practice is in Kinloss, but I also give internet sessions via 'zoom' or 'skype'.
