About me
Hello and thank you for visiting my profile.
I am a person-centred counsellor, offered through my counselling service Highland Well-Ness Collective.
I understand that seeking counselling can be a courageous step towards personal growth and emotional well-being, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns at your own pace. I believe that within you lies the potential for growth, healing, and self-discovery.
The sessions support anyone struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ptsd and much more.
I help clients build self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to strive towards the changes they wish to achieve.
Here is an overview of my services and approach:
In my practice, I provide a nurturing and empathetic space where individuals can freely express themselves without apprehension. I recognise the uniqueness of each person's journey and strive to offer compassionate guidance as they navigate their path to well-being.
With over a decade of experience in community engagement and wellbeing across, I have assisted countless individuals in embarking on their journey toward self-discovery and emotional well-being.
How counselling can be beneficial:
My counselling services are tailored to address a diverse array of issues. Whether grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, familial or relational matters, or the challenges of daily life, I am equipped to offer support and guidance.
I am passionate about supporting individuals on their path to well-being, and I look forward to accompanying you on your journey.
My availability:
I offer flexibility through in-person appointments, as well as online and walk-and-talk counselling options for your convenience.

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.
