Hi, I’m Mike, a counsellor working with adults, children and young people. Your story is your story. You only need to share what feels right, when it feels right. A lot of people I work with say they don’t know where to begin at first, and that’s okay. Life does not always fall apart loudly. Sometimes people come to counselling because something has happened. Sometimes they come because they’ve been coping for so long that they no longer know what “okay” is supposed to feel like. I offer a calm, confidential space where we can slowly begin making sense of things together.
Parents sometimes reach out when they’ve noticed changes in their child’s emotions, behaviour, confidence or wellbeing and want a space to better understand what may be going on underneath. Alongside counselling, my background in education, pastoral support and youth justice has shaped my understanding of emotional safety, behaviour and belonging.
I hold an HND in Counselling and a Diploma in Counselling Children & Young People. Sessions take place in Cawdor and online. Sometimes counselling is not about having all the answers. Sometimes it begins with simply having space to figure things out safely with someone beside you. If you’re thinking about counselling, we can begin with a free initial chat.
