About me
I'm here for all women. Whilst my welcoming practice is open to everyone, of all genders and identities, I have over two decades experience working with women at all stages of their life and experiences. This covers every aspect of the particular ways women can experience challenge such as emotional and psychological strain, financial issues, family pressures, domestic issues, abuse, business and professional stress, relationships, returning to work, parenting, eating disorders, confidence, caring, health, illness, menopause and perimenopause, reinvention, recovery and just getting through.
I work with many types of mental health issue for every individual, life stage challenge and personal struggle such as anxiety, grief, anger, bereavement, trauma, illness, isolation, sadness and depression. I can help with work place stress, power dynamics, bullying and career challenges, personal and professional development, financial issues, separation& divorce, relationship problems, family difficulties, psychological and emotional transition, change and general life stress.

I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Counselling, COSCA accredited Counselling Skills certificate and a PostGraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Aberdeen. I also have a BA (Hons) and a number of professional qualifications from my previous experience.

As well as my private practice I am a Volunteer Counsellor/Honorary Teaching Assistant at the University of Aberdeen's counselling and research clinic. I am a member of both COSCA and BACP.
