About me
A warm welcome from me to you. I am a qualified counsellor based in Dundee, offering both individual and couples therapy.
I am a compassionate, experienced counsellor supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, and other life challenges, helping you build resilience, find clarity, and feel more in control of your life.
Alongside this, I provide therapy and coaching for professionals in high-pressured roles. This work focuses on helping you build resources to protect your mental health, improve resilience, and navigate pressure.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and describe myself as a Pluralistic Counsellor, this means that I work collaboratively with my clients. I believe that everyone is unique and no situation is the same therefore I offer a variety of different approaches to help you feel less tangled and stuck. Pluralism teaches there is not just one way to help someone, therefore I use a range of approaches including person-centred, transactional analysis and cognitive behavioural therapy.
I am aware that attending counselling can be daunting therefore I aspire to create a space filled with compassion and respect, one that will help you to develop different coping strategies, build resilience and meet goals. Most importantly, I will listen without judgement.
I am a multicultural therapist who is faith sensitive and driven by equality.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am fully qualified with a MSc in Counselling from Abertay University.
I spent my training working for two years in an addiction service.
I am an experienced advocate for the BAME community including gender-based violence.
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.
