About me
I have recently relocated to the Isle of Lewis and currently offer both face-to-face and online sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility for clients.
I provide a unique and tailored service that combines Counselling, EMDR Therapy, and Life Coaching. While this may initially sound like a broad approach, these modalities often integrate naturally throughout the course of our work together. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, emotional well being, or to navigate life’s challenges, I believe that access to effective support should be available to all.
Having personally experienced the value of counselling, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step. My aim is to offer a supportive, confidential, and non-judgemental space where we can work collaboratively at a pace that suits your individual needs.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models and techniques, adapting our sessions to suit what resonates best with you. While therapeutic tools and methods are important, I firmly believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful driver of change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work from an integrative and pluralistic approach, which allows us to tailor the therapeutic process to your specific goals and preferences.
This collaborative model places your individuality at the centre of our work, incorporating shared decision-making throughout the therapeutic journey. I support clients facing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:
Anxiety & Depression
Trauma & PTSD
Addictions
Stress & Burnout
Anger Management
Sexual Abuse
Personal Development
Together, we will explore what you hope to gain from therapy and determine the most effective pathway forward.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
