Person-Centred Counsellor MBACP Accredited

About me

Welcome.

I am a Person-Centred MBACP Accredited counsellor based in coastal Aberdeenshire, working with adults on a one-to-one basis. 

I offer a flexible approach to therapy, providing sessions in-person from my peaceful Mongolian yurt in Collieston, outdoors via Walk and Talk in the local, private coastal countryside, or online UK wide for those who prefer the comfort of their own space. 

My practice is built on the belief that a nurturing, grounded, natural environment is vital for navigating life’s turbulent seasons.

Specialised Approaches

Creative Exploration: While my work is primarily talk-based, I hold a Practitioner Certificate in Therapeutic Creative Arts and can incorporate creative tools if requested.
Single Session Therapy: A focused, one-off session for those looking to work through a specific issue or gain immediate clarity.
Translation & Language: My voluntary experience counselling at GREC and completing the Working with Translators course gave me a deep sensitivity to the nuances of language. I am mindful of how we express our internal worlds and the importance of being truly understood, regardless of the language or medium used.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
