I am a Person-Centred Counsellor working Online and Face-to-Face from the Orkney Islands. I offer a gentle exploratory approach, and aim to provide a safe and grounding space to help enable you to identify and work through any difficulties and issues you may be experiencing.
I believe that with the right support people can come to know and accept themselves, and begin their personal process of healing and discovery.
I started off my counselling career working in the voluntary sector in 2010. I have since then continued to develop my practice through years of experience and professional training.
I gained additional training in Online Counselling in 2016, and Counselling Children and Young People in 2019. I continue to participate regularly in relevant CPD and Professional Supervision, and currently run my own Private Practice. I also provide counselling for various local organisations and EAP (Employee Assisted Programme) services.
I have worked with many clients in a variety of settings both short and long term. Some client issues I have worked with include Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Abuse, Bullying, Disordered Eating, Low self-esteem, Relationships, Loss and Bereavement and Trauma.
I feel very passionate about my work, and I am dedicated to offering warmth, understanding and acceptance to all who work with me.
My core approach is Person-Centred. I work in a gentle and exploratory way and aim to provide a safe and supportive space to enable you to work through any difficulties or issues you choose to bring to counselling. I may bring aspects of other approaches into my work such as mindfulness, solution focused and cognitive behavioural therapy if this feels appropriate for our work together.
