About me

I don't believe you need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You don't need to explain away your feelings, find the right terms, minimise your experiences or pretend you're coping when you're not.

I offer a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space where you can simply arrive as you are.

Whether you're living with trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, burnout, chronic illness, loss, low self-esteem or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, my hope is that our work together helps you feel seen, understood and empowered to move towards the life you want to live. Because I know, both personally and professionally, that even after life's hardest seasons, we are still capable of blooming.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My Aberdeen location is wheelchair accessible; unfortunately, my Inverurie location does not.
