Íø±¬ÃÅ

As a pluralistic counsellor I offer both in person and online therapy tailored to the unique needs of each individual.  My approach is grounded in the belief that no single therapeutic method works for everyone, and I collaborate closely with clients to explore what strategies and techniques best support clients wellbeing.  I am a registered member of the Íø±¬ÃÅ and hold an MSc in Counselling from Abertay University, Dundee.  I currently work with clients on a voluntary basis at PF Counselling where I continue to deepen my practice and engage with a range of therapeutic experiences.  My professional background includes extensive work across Government partnering with Ministers and Senior Leaders to drive developmental initiatives which includes leadership development and coaching.  This experience has profoundly shaped my understanding of human complexity and the importance of truly listening to people's stories.  It has also enriched my ability to support clients from diverse backgrounds, where my knowledge of somatic therapies have helped clients explore and become more mindful of physical issues. Through teachings that the body is deeply interconnected with the mind and stores emotional experiences it has often helped clients whose energy is 'stuck' energy or held as tensions.  I bring empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to co-creating a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, respected and empowered to move towards meaningful change.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending". This quote by Maria Robinson resonated deeply with my practice, following a traumatic family event where I found myself on a personal curve of self discovery which ultimately led to counselling.  I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience where clients begin to explore and reshape their identity, deepen their self awareness and develop a more authentic self.  As a pluralistic counsellor, I understand that no single approach works for everyone and I work collaboratively with clients or with couples to reflect their individual preferences, offering compassion and connection at a deeper level.  My practice is rooted in respect for each person's unique story and the belief that healing begins with truly being heard.  I support clients with a range of concerns which includes:- loss, bereavement, relationships, identity, anxiety, life transitions, neurodiversity and behavioural patterns.  

To help you find the right counsellor I offer a free 30 minute online introductory session.  This is a chance for you to get a feel for how I work and ask any questions you may have and decide whether we want to work together.  It is important that you feel comfortable and supported and this initial meeting offers a relaxed space for you to explore what you are looking for from counselling.  We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you might want to focus on and how we approach this together.  If a clients chooses to go ahead I offer my clients a chance to fill out a questionnaire to explore their individual preferences to inform shared decision making and to ensure the approach is sensitive and relevant to the clients background and values.
