About me and my therapy practice
Counselling and Reiki Practice
I offer both online and face-to-face sessions.
I’m based in Fife, and if you’re within travelling distance, we can meet in my log cabin, a calm and dedicated counselling space.
For online sessions, I work from this same space via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, ensuring a consistent and private setting.
The number of sessions we have together will depend on your individual needs and the complexity of the issues we are exploring.
Areas of Experience
I work with a wide range of issues, including:
Trauma, PTSD, sexual assault, rape, and childhood sexual abuse, along with the symptoms that arise from these overwhelming experiences
Relationship challenges — communication, infidelity, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting emotionally and physically
Anxiety and depression
Suicidal thoughts and self-harm
Substance abuse
Low self-esteem
Bereavement and loss
Reiki and Holistic Practice
I have recently added Reiki to my practice, offering a gentle, energy-based approach that can complement counselling or be experienced as a stand-alone session.
Couples Counselling
I also work with couples on a range of issues, including communication difficulties, infidelity, loss of emotional or physical intimacy, and navigating life changes together.
Session Fees
Individuals: £45 per session (Counselling or Reiki)
Life Coaching: £50 per session
Couples: £60 per session
Practice description
There are different styles of counselling and I am more towards the person centred end of the scale but work in dialogue with psychodynamic approaches, one of my core beliefs is that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to undertstand things from your perspective and support you in your goals.
I am informed by attachment theory which helps us understand how our formative years create patterns of relating that we repeat and may not realise where it comes from.
I belive in resourcing clients - and will offer a range of resources that clients can pick and choose from depending on what resonates with them. Examples of this are a variety of breathing exercises, visualisation techniques and anger dissapation techniques.
I also use Psychoeducation techniques - eductating about how the brain works when traumatised or overwhelmed.
I have recently added coaching skills to my skill set - as we work together we may in the beginning want to work with issues that have occured in the past that are impacting you today (using counselling) as we progress you may want to focus on goal setting or breaking habits (coaching skills)
Also Reiki a gentle holistic approach working with energy to encourage development of self esteem and relaxattion
My first session
For counselling
For couples - I will send you both a form to fill in and return to me prior to our first session, as this will allow me to understand your current issue from both your perspectives.
For everyone - The first session differs from all others as to begin with I will take you through details of sessions lengths, notiication of holidays, explicit limits to confidentiality and some further details about counselling procedures and the way I work.
Once this is completed we will focus on your goals and what you hope to achieve through counselling.
For Reiki - first session would be around 1 hr 15 mins and the subsequent sessions 1 hr
