About me
Counsellor in Edinburgh & Online | Anxiety, Trauma, LGBTQ+ Support
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step—especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or going through a life change that’s harder than expected.
I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what’s going on for you—at your own pace.
I’m a qualified pluralistic counsellor based in Edinburgh (EH12), offering both in-person and online sessions. I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, trauma, bereavement, relationship challenges, and questions around identity and belonging.
Using my twenty years experience in bodywork, my approach is relational and body-aware, which means we don’t just talk about what’s happening—we also gently explore how your experiences are held in your body, emotions, and nervous system. This can help create deeper, more lasting change.
I have a particular interest in working with:
Anxiety and overwhelm
Trauma and past experiences
LGBTQ+ clients and identity exploration
Life transitions and feeling “stuck”
Loss and grief
As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring an awareness of the diverse ways identity, relationships, and life experiences can shape our inner worlds. I am committed to offering an inclusive, affirming space for people of all backgrounds, whether or not they identify as LGBTQ+.
I offer a warm, affirming space for neurodivergent clients, including those who identify as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise experience the world in ways that may differ from neurotypical expectations. Our work together is collaborative and tailored to you—honouring your communication style, sensory needs, and pace. This might include adapting sessions to feel more comfortable, exploring identity and self-understanding, or developing strategies that support your wellbeing in a way that feels authentic rather than “correcting” who you are.
I have a particular interest in how our childhoods shape and impact us. Part of our work together may be around reconnecting with parts of you that you feel you have lost. We may explore your internal world through connecting to your body through breath, visualisation, and the offer of movement. All exploration is done with sensitivity and care.
If you would like to get a sense of me and how we might work together, you are welcome to get in touch and have a free 30-minute video call. There is no obligation attached to this, just an opportunity to see if working with me is right for you

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.
