About me
I am a Person-Centred counsellor, working with both adults and children. I work in private practice and the voluntary sector from premises in Elgin and also offer telephone and video counselling.
As a counsellor, I offer a safe and confidential space for you to talk about any issues or concerns. Using a non-judgemental approach, I will value you as a person by working in an open and genuine way to understand your experiences from your perspective.
I am a member of COSCA and adhere to their guidance.
