You may be struggling with a new issue, or have a longstanding problem that periodically resurfaces. Psychological therapy is about change. Listening is at the heart of my therapeutic approach, which provides a safe environment for change. We will work together to create clear goals for therapy, and regularly explore steps towards these goals. By working collaboratively, we will identify what is causing your distress and what maintains it. Self awareness, and awareness of factors that contribute to distress, are golden keys to empowerment and psychological resilience, and provide a way to restore balance and harmony in your life.

I know how difficult it can be to reach out when you’ve experienced trauma.
My practice in Aberdeen is built on the belief that a safe, trusting relationship is the foundation of healing.
When you have experienced the weight of trauma, abuse, or the suffocating nature of coercive control, your sense of self can feel fragmented. My primary focus is to help you navigate the journey of trauma recovery in a space where you are finally the one in control.

The people I support feel stuck in their relationship, perhaps caught in the same arguments, or struggling to connect the way they used to. Sometimes a life change, such as illness, loss, or family stress, shifts something between people. You might feel lonely even though you're together, or like you're walking on eggshells - never quite sure how a conversation will go. While much of my work is with couples, I also work with siblings, parents and adult children, and people who want to understand why they keep running into the same difficulties in their close relationships.

See More Counsellors FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
