About me

Therapy may seem scary but it is often easier to talk to a stranger than a friend or family. Let me be that person, whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression or need a non-judgemental and supportive space in which you can talk freely and be heard and understood. Some clients find 2 or 3 sessions are enough while others appreciate the opportunity to explore more complex issues over a longer period of time. I can offer face to face sessions or we can meet online.

As well as having more than 1000 hours of practice, I have a BSc in Psychology and many years' experience of working in charities and in private practice. I have also trained as a Counsellor of Children and Young People, and am privileged to train up-and-coming counsellors and psychotherapists at UHI Inverness.

Key details

PVG Scheme info

In Scotland, criminal records checks are carried out by Disclosure Scotland. Professionals working with children or vulnerable adults must join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. You can learn more at mygov.scot , or contact this professional directly.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
