ABOUT

My Services

I have recently relocated to the Isle of Lewis and currently offer both face-to-face and online sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility for clients.

I provide a unique and tailored service that combines Counselling, EMDR Therapy, and Life Coaching. While this may initially sound like a broad approach, these modalities often integrate naturally throughout the course of our work together. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, emotional wellbeing, or to navigate life’s challenges, I believe that access to effective support should be available to all.

Having personally experienced the value of counselling, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step. My aim is to offer a supportive, confidential, and non-judgemental space where we can work collaboratively at a pace that suits your individual needs.

My Practice

I am an experienced Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Life Coach, and an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work from an integrative and pluralistic approach, which allows us to tailor the therapeutic process to your specific goals and preferences.

This collaborative model places your individuality at the centre of our work, incorporating shared decision-making throughout the therapeutic journey. I support clients facing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:

• Anxiety & Depression
   
• Trauma & PTSD
   
• Addictions
   
• Stress & Burnout
   
• Anger Management
   
• Sexual Abuse
   
• Personal Development
   

Together, we will explore what you hope to gain from therapy and determine the most effective pathway forward.

Therapeutic Approach

I draw on a range of therapeutic models and techniques, adapting our sessions to suit what resonates best with you. While therapeutic tools and methods are important, I firmly believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful driver of change.

Professional Experience

Alongside my private practice, I have managed a charitable organisation in East Kilbride that offers affordable counselling to the local community. Although I have stepped down from this role due to my relocation, I remain connected to the organisation.

My experience includes working with:

• Children and Young People in school settings
   
• Young Adults and Adults through one-to-one counselling and coaching
   
• Clients with complex and sensitive issues, including trauma and abuse
   

I’ve also had the privilege of supporting individuals through voluntary counselling services, where I have worked with diverse client groups across various life stages and challenges.
