About Me

Hello! I’m a dedicated counsellor and registered member of the BACP, based in Edinburgh. I completed my diploma in Relational Integrative Counselling in 2016, which combines psychodynamic and humanistic theories to support clients as individuals. Since then, I’ve aimed to continuously enhance my practice by learning from my clients and participating in ongoing professional development courses.

Originally from the United States, I first moved to the UK in 2003. My personal experiences have fostered a deep fascination with how our context, background, language and differences shape our experiences of the world.

Issues I Can Help With

I support clients facing a wide range of issues, including:

• Transitions, at a crossroads or stuckness
• Exploring identity issues
• Relationship difficulties
• Dissatisfaction with life
• Depression, anxiety
• Childhood trauma, self-harm, adverse coping mechanisms
• Stress, Work or Academic related issues
• Bereavement, Loss
• Low self-esteem or self-worth

How Counselling Can Help

Counselling offers real empathy and a chance for something new. It strengthens core aspects of yourself and examines areas for change. Through understanding yourself better and the help of a supportive therapeutic relationship, real change is made possible. Therapy provides a space to be heard, find new approaches to life, and become more fully yourself.

Counselling with me 

I believe the quality of our relationship is central to the success of our work. I approach each counselling relationship with warmth, openness, and humour, ensuring you feel welcomed and enabled to tell your story. I will listen empathically and guide you through the therapy process, exploring whatever you bring to counselling. Whether by talking or using creative means, together we’ll seek to understand how things have been for you and why. Sometimes being understood can be healing in itself, but often we’ll go further and think about how you’d like things to be and how you can make that happen. I will support you in finding your best way forward.

Come see what counselling with me is like “risk free”. It’s important to me that we are a good fit. If after the first session, you decide not to proceed, the first session will be free.
