About me
During challenging times, we may feel overwhelmed, struggle to cope, and be burdened by our problems. It's often hard to find the right support, and seeking help requires courage and strength. As a Person-Centred counsellor, I understand this and am committed to offering a safe space where you can talk confidentially. I'm here to listen to you with openness, without judgment, and with compassion.
Based in Aberdeenshire, I provide both long and short-term therapy to adults and young people. I consider myself to be a sincere, warm, and empathetic counsellor, providing a secure and confidential environment where you can discuss and explore personal issues and emotions with compassion.
I am currently limited to providing virtual counselling, either through video or telephone. For video sessions, I prefer using Zoom's online conferencing platform, although I am open to alternatives like Teams or Google Meet. Additionally, I offer 'walk and talk' therapy as an option, but only after an initial virtual meeting with the client.
As a member of Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland (COSCA) and the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I am committed to strictly adhering to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is regulated by the UK's governing bodies for safe practice.
If you are dealing with life's challenges, feeling stressed, down, or anxious, I would be glad to listen and work with you to find a path forward.

Member organisations
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
