Let’s clear your mind together. People seek counselling for lots of different reasons and it can be daunting to take those first steps. The most important part is finding a counsellor who is right for you, someone you feel comfortable with and who you can relate to. I am a Person- Centred integrative counsellor. I offer a safe space to be listened to and will tailor our sessions to fit to your individual needs, requirements and your goals, by working together, in a comfortable non-judgmental space for you to think and talk about your concerns. I will work with you, at your pace, on the issues that you are struggling to make sense of or cope with. I will support you unconditionally on your counselling journey.
I work as an integrative, person-centred counsellor in a non-directive way to help you through major life changes such as loss, bereavement, and relationship problems. As well as with stress,anxiety, depression, inner conflict and low self-esteem.
Through my volunteer work with victim support Scotland and healed scars I have gained extensive experience, helping individuals through emotional abuse, trauma, domestic and sexual violence.
I have obtained a COSCA accredited Diploma in Counselling.
COSCA Certificate in Counselling.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapist (MBACP).
Member of the person centred therapy Scotland.
Member of the National Counselling Society.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
