About me

At the Holistic Harbour, I aim to create a warm, non-judgemental space where you can hopefully find comfort in being you. I am not the expert on your life - you are, so my role is to be present alongside you, helping you reconnect with your own insight, values, and strengths. Providing the space and environment for you to be honest with yourself. Together, we will explore any challenges, obstacles or feelings of disconnect that you are facing- whether you are looking for clarity, growth, or simply a space to reflect and have time for yourself.

My approach is gentle, intuitive, playful and rooted in the belief each of us carries the capacity for healing within. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and light-hearted. Humour and curiosity often help us explore deeper truths. As a pluralistic therapist, I draw from a range of approaches and ideas allowing us together to create sessions to meet your needs  in the present moment, to fit your unique values, experiences and preferences - reminding you that you are the expert and captain of your own life. 

There is no “one-size-fits-all” method, and I respect that every individual brings their own wisdom and perspective. This is your harbour. A place to pause, reflect and reconnect - with yourself and the life you want to live.

I aim to stay rooted in the reality of your world - not just theory. I seek to understand how your life actually feels and functions, and work with you in a way that feels practical, honest, and human. Therapy with me at the Holistic Harbour is a collaborative journey - grounded, flexible and always centred on what matters most to you. Our work together is designed to help you feel more aligned, more spacious, and more at ease within yourself in your daily life.

Key details

PVG Scheme info

In Scotland, criminal records checks are carried out by Disclosure Scotland. Professionals working with children or vulnerable adults must join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. You can learn more at mygov.scot , or contact this professional directly.

Wheelchair user access info
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.

I am based on the ground floor of Grierson House within the Crichton grounds in Dumfries. There is parking available on site, ramped access at entrance and toilet facilities available.
