Counselling
is a talking therapeutic process.

It can be challenging when feeling stuck or in crisis to take the first step and ask for help, but once that step has been taken a journey of personal growth can begin.

Based in Edinburgh but working at an international level I work with clients online via zoom.

Trained as a Person-Centred therapist, also known as Rogerian therapy, my therapeutic approach focuses on you the client and your experience of yourself. I take a non-directive approach and will encourage you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to help you become more self-aware and to reach your full potential.

Combined with a many years’ designing personal development programmes for people who are looking for a new direction, looking to find meaning and purpose in life, I’m able to work differently and take a more wholistic approach.

I believe each challenging situation or crisis holds the potential to become an opportunity and can lead to a positive, if not exciting, journey of self-understanding and self-discovery. I will work with you to improve the relationship you have with yourself and beyond self and relationships you have with others close to you, to empower you to lead a more fulfilled and balanced life, with a sense of direction and purpose.

Working with young adults and adults, facing a challenging period in life, supporting, guiding, and counselling and mentoring you through such difficulties. I work with complicated relationships, within families, marriages, partnerships, professional relationships, or friendships that are affecting how you are feeling and preventing you from moving forward both personally and professionally.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space
is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

I work with

teenagers
13 to 17

This includes young people who are struggling at school, with friends and relationships or who are experiencing difficulties at home or within the family as well as teenagers who could benefit from support and mentoring.

18 to 25
year olds

I also offer wilderness journeys in the Himalayas and the Pyrenees through a personally designed ‘Rites of Passage’ programme, designed to support guide young adults as they transition from their teenage world to adult life.

Adults beyond
the age of 25

I work with adults, facing a challenging period in life, supporting, guiding and counselling them through these difficulties. Complicated relationships, within families, marriages, partnerships or friendships that are effecting how you are feeling and preventing you from moving forward.

My experience tells me that it can sometimes be more beneficial and more productive to work directly with the parents of children and teenagers rather than working directly with children and teenagers, under the age of 18.
