About me
Do you feel like you're one more thing going wrong away from your life coming completely off the rails? Do you find yourself stressing over reasons good enough to say no to people, or worry about letting people down all the time?
I know how awful it can feel when we fall short, and how easily it is to feel like a failure. I also know how helpful it can be working with a counsellor to explore what we're struggling with. I know what a difference it can make not feeling like we're alone in our struggles
Sometimes accessing counselling is like borrowing someone else’s brain for an hour. To help you understand things, organise things, prioritise things. To make life a little smoother, a little lighter. To give yourself a break from keeping all it together all of the time on your own and having a space to be messy and have someone else do all the holding.
Reaching out to a counsellor can be a daunting step to take, and I know the courage it can take to take that step. You can contact me via email or text, both here on counselling directory or via my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my counselling training (PGDip) with Persona Counselling accredited by Aberdeen University covering various aspects of CPD such as suicide, race, class, sexuality and gender, addiction, and trauma.
I have been working a voluntary and session counsellor with a number of services with Crossreach in Edinburgh since 2019 as well as Stepping Stones in the South East of England since 2020. The majority of this work has focussed on topics such as burnout, coping with emotion in the work place, and trauma.
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.
