About me
I offer pluralistic counselling/psychotherapy through an intersectional feminist lens. I work in a collaborative, non-pathologising way.
My primary areas of experience and expertise include working with neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnancy-related issues (trying to conceive, planned or unplanned pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, pregnancy, birth, and post-partum), grief and mourning, trauma recovery, and spirituality.
My services include both open-ended counselling/psychotherapy and time-limited counselling/psychotherapy (12 sessions with an option to renew).

Experience & specific client groups
Before starting my private practice, I gained experience through placements and then volunteering at two different charities in Edinburgh -- Pregnancy Counselling & Care (Scotland) and LGBT Health & Wellbeing.
My first diploma required 150 placement hours; I continued to volunteer and accrued an additional 175 hours before graduation. I then completed another 100 placement hours on my second diploma, as well as 80 hours of supervised practice with volunteer clients.
I had just over 500 client hours before starting my private practice.
