I use a pluralistic approach to therapy, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and humanistic techniques, to tailor support to each individual's needs and goals. I offer in-person counselling in a lovely, cosy room in Summerhall, Edinburgh - handy for bus routes and close to The Meadows. Whether working with adults or younger clients, I prioritise building trust and rapport from the very start. I provide a warm, non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and supported, and my aim is to always empower you to explore your experiences and come to your own decisions about your future. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and have over 23 years of experience in education, currently working as a support for learning teacher. In the past, I have volunteered as a counsellor with the children's mental health charity, Place2Be and with adult counselling services at St P's and G's in Edinburgh. My dual background in education and counselling give me a deep understanding of the emotional and developmental needs of both adult and young clients. Outside of my professional life, I am a mum to two teenage boys, and I enjoy reading, paddle-boarding, canoeing, jogging, and walking my two Labradors.
