About me

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Based in Dunfermline, Scotland, I work online and by phone, as this allows me to work with people across the UK. After a career in design, I undertook rigorous training in counselling and psychotherapy and now practice as a Person-Centred Counsellor. I work with people of different ages and backgrounds, to help with issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, work stress, bereavement and more. I continue to volunteer some time at a local charity-supported counselling service seeing clients in the local area.

Help with life's challenges

When life isn't going the way we'd hoped, when we're sad and feeling alone, when it's just too much, when we're never enough, when we feel we can't go on, when we want to change, when we want to grow, but we've kept it all inside, then it might be time to talk to someone who can be by our side.

It might be time to speak to someone who will really listen and helpfully support us to connect with our emotions and experiences, so we can better understand ourselves, as we try to heal, change, grow, and move forward.

When counselling can help

Counselling can help when you've exhausted your own resources to work things out or heal and when what is troubling you seems beyond the help of family, friends and others who might normally support you.

Working together

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I'll offer you a non-judgemental companion who will attempt to understand what you are struggling with from your point of you. I'm not offering ready-made solutions, but confidential and supportive help to aid you in connecting with perhaps unidentified emotions, gaining new perspectives on difficulties and rediscovering your own abilities. Together, we'll create ways to help you cope and see ways to grow, ways that you can continue to develop when you finish with counselling, as you begin to move towards where you want to be and who you want to be.
