About me
A little bit about me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be experiencing anxiety, grief or loss, navigating changes in your relationships, work or family life, or simply finding that things have become difficult to manage on your own. Whatever has brought you here, counselling can offer you the opportunity to pause, reflect and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and you may not have the words for what you’re feeling yet. That’s okay. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted, without judgement or pressure. Together, we can explore what feels important to you, at a pace that feels right for you.
How I work
I work using a pluralistic approach, which means we work collaboratively to explore what feels most helpful for your individual needs, experiences and goals. I don’t believe there is one single way of working that suits everyone, so I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most appropriate for you.
I believe every person has their own unique story, and that counselling should be shaped around you.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship we build together. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, accepted and genuinely listened to.
I see my role as walking alongside you, offering a supportive space to explore your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and consider what might feel helpful moving forward.
Depending on your needs, our work together may involve exploring thoughts and patterns that affect how you feel, developing greater self-awareness and self-compassion, or finding ways to navigate difficult emotions and experiences.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, cognitive, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, mindfulness-based and somatic therapies. I tailor my approach to each individual, recognising that everyone’s experiences, needs and ways of relating are unique.
My journey
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over twelve years supporting people’s wellbeing through my Pilates, yoga and mindfulness business. I had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and life stages, creating spaces where they could reconnect with themselves, build confidence and support their overall wellbeing.
Through this work, I developed a strong appreciation of the connection between physical and emotional wellbeing, and became increasingly interested in the experiences, thoughts and feelings that shape how we see ourselves. This naturally led me towards counselling.
My counselling journey has strengthened my belief in the importance of meeting each person as an individual. I bring warmth, empathy and openness to my practice and am committed to creating a relationship where you feel respected, supported and accepted.
Today, I bring together my experience of wellbeing, mindfulness and movement with my counselling training to offer a compassionate, relational and individualised approach.
Alongside my private counselling practice, I continue to volunteer as a counsellor and to run my Pilates, yoga and mindfulness business. I value being able to support people in different ways and continue to learn from the people I work with across these areas.
My practice
I offer counselling both online and in person, giving you the choice of what feels most comfortable and accessible for you.
Online sessions are offered via Zoom, providing a private and confidential space where you can access counselling from wherever you feel most at ease.
From November 2026, I will also be offering in-person sessions in a private health clinic in Westhill, Aberdeenshire.
Whether we work online or in person, I will offer the same warm, supportive and confidential approach, with our work shaped around your individual needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Pluralistic Counselling from the University of Aberdeen, where my course was COSCA accredited.
I am currently completing my MSc in Counselling, with a focus on Children and Young Persons Counselling.
I am a registered member of BACP and work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and professional standards.
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.

- Grief, loss and life transitions

- Anger and managing difficult emotions
- Developing coping skills and strategies
- Relationship and attachment difficulties

This list is not exhaustive, and there may be other reasons that have brought you to counselling. Whatever you are experiencing, you are welcome to get in touch to explore whether we might be able to work together.
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. If you have any questions about how I work or would like to find out a little more before arranging a session, please feel free to get in touch.
I offer a free initial conversation where we can talk about what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have and see whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no pressure to commit to ongoing counselling.
