Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or burnout? Do you feel stuck and unable to cope with life's difficulties? I support adults to feel calmer, more confident and find practical ways forward — face-to-face in Roslin (near Edinburgh) and online across the UK. If work, relationships or life changes are leaving you exhausted, stuck or on edge, counselling can help. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can be heard and start to make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, and I’ll help you develop simple, practical tools you can use in day-to-day life.
I take a warm, practical and collaborative approach. We’ll notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and build simple strategies to reduce distress and improve coping. I combine evidence-based tools (CBT, mindfulness, compassion-focused practice) with a person-centred style so every plan is realistic and relevant to your life.
Many of the people I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or running on empty. You might be struggling with constant worry, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, or the lasting impact of trauma or addiction. Whatever has brought you here, counselling can give you the space to pause, reflect, understand, and begin to move forward.

I have worked extensively with clients experiencing drug and alcohol addiction, anxiety and trauma, including those diagnosed with PTSD. We will work together to determine what you want to achieve from therapy and look at what is holding you back from meeting your full potential. We will create a treatment plan targeting your goals with therapy being a safe space to discuss any barriers you face.

As a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, CBT is the main approach I use. Together we'll look at how your thoughts and behaviours affect your feelings, and gently challenge unhelpful patterns to bring change. I also integrate compassion-focused work, helping you move away from harsh self-criticism and towards kinder, healthier ways of relating to yourself.
