About me
I'm a BACP-registered counsellor and couples therapist in Edinburgh. Whatever brings you here, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space to talk things through, to feel heard, and to find your own way forward.
A different kind of counsellor
My background is in anthropology, and I bring that lens - how culture, beliefs, and social environment shape our sense of self - into everything I do alongside my clinical training.
I specialise in:
- LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative counselling for individuals and partnerships
- Relationship therapy for polyamorous, non-monogamous, and CNM relationships
- Intercultural therapy for people of migrant, diaspora, and multicultural backgrounds
- Sex worker-affirmative counselling, fully non-judgemental
- All relationship structures are welcome, and I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and identities.
I'm a member of the Society for Existential Analysis and the British Society for Phenomenology, and I've worked in LGBTQIA2S+ counselling services, relationship counselling, and low-cost services in London and Edinburgh.
*The title “Dr” denotes an academic title, not a medical one.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a BACP-registered counsellor in private practice with individuals and couples, and a member of the PVG Scheme (adults). I'm currently deepening my clinical training with an MSc in Existential Psychotherapy at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I work with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, questions of identity and belonging, and the experience of living between cultures - as well as issues relating to gender and sexual identity, non-traditional relationship structures, and experiences of social injustice.
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.

Further information
I am fluent in English and Italian.
The first session will cover an initial assessment, where we will explore your expectations and needs and discuss any questions you may have about the way I work with clients. This is an opportunity for us to see how we will work together and if I am the right therapist for you.
