Parenting Counselling in Aberdeen
Hello, I am a Psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner, Dramatherapist and Clinical Supervisor. In therapy, participants are supported to use creative expression to set goals, solve problems, express feelings and achieve improved mental health. Together in therapy there will be opportunities to consider how your personal life informs the way you experience the world. My work is influenced by trauma-informed approaches, which allow us to look at ourselves and understand why we may suffer. I am also a qualified secondary school teacher with extensive experience of working with people with trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety, bereavement and loss.

We all deserve both psychological and emotional well-being! Yet, sometimes ‘life’ grinds us down, we often lose our emotional resources and the psychological tools required to live a healthy and empowering lifestyle. As a counsellor and psychotherapist, my focus is to support individuals through distress and times of crisis. Whatever your individual situation may be, my aim is to provide you with support in identifying any changes that can positively impact your day-to-day living; whether this be the development of specific skills, a greater understanding of yourself or your feelings.

Life can bring loss, change and many challenges, and it is understandable that at times we might look for support in facing them. I aim to provide a safe confidential space to help you on your journey of self discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new meaningful choices within it. I offer counselling to adults and young people, meeting face-to-face, by telephone and online, which enables those at a geographic distance to connect with me. I also work for Aberdeen University offering counselling and facilitating psychoeducational workshops to the wider university community.

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.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist based in Scotland, specialising in couples therapy and relationship therapy online across the UK, and I can help you understand what's really going on and find a way forward.

I also have a strong interest in supporting women with parental challenges, postnatal depression, lone parenting, and the complex emotional experiences that can arise around fertility, sexuality, hormones, perimenopause, and menopause.
As a pluralistic counsellor, I work collaboratively with you. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic, person-centred and existential therapy. I also work with the understanding that our psychology is embodied which is one of the reasons I place importance on attending to body sensations and lived experience within therapy.

I break down how your relationship (or lack thereof) with your parent, caregiver, partner, and broader society shapes your sense of self-worth, attachment patterns, and outlook toward life.
Sometimes life doesn’t go the way we hoped — breakups, trauma, or repeated struggles can leave us feeling lost. Therapy is a place to make sense of what happened, rediscover your self-worth, and create a life that feels exciting, meaningful, and worth it—especially for your self and the ones you love.
During therapy, we will uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, build insights, and explore pathways to your healing and growth.
If you feel lost searching for answers with relationship conflict, breakups, feeling different, family conflicts, traumatic experiences, and addictions, Let me assure you, you are not alone.

A warm welcome. As a trained therapist in somatic psychology, I believe that we are all born with inner resources that we inherit and embody and which are there to support us during hard times. What we often do not inherit are the skills in tapping into those resources. Being able to grow in capacity to help yourself with a gentle help of a practitioner is always a huge step in the right direction. In my practice, I will support you by tapping into your psycho-somatic experiences through reflective expression, widening inner awareness, emotional balancing and creating openness for change.

I work with individuals, relationships & all family dynamics - ‘logical and biological’ - stuck communicating safely through conflict and disconnect. We work together to find a compassionate understanding of the challenges you have, how they are impacting you, and strategies to think, feel and be different in them to feel safe and secure. Knowing how to have confident relationships with those around us is how we thrive and this often means learning new ways to talk, act and self advocate within them. Communication is the lever of connection so we will learn new, different or more ways to do this with yourself and/or others.

Areas that I work with include depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, menopause, OCD, family breakdown, school refusal, parenting issues, PTSD, panic attacks, relationship and work difficulties.
Are you finding that everyday life is feeling like a battle? Have you lost the joy for things that previously brought you happiness? Or perhaps you feel that your patience and tolerance is not what it used to be. I see everyday, people who are so busy looking after those around them, they forget to look after themselves, but you will never regret prioritising your mental health. I believe that everyone has the power to overcome life's challenges and discover their true potential. In our counselling sessions, I will help you build resilience, improve your emotional wellbeing, and achieve your goals.

I see people at all stages of their relationship and some of the issues I deal with can range from Affairs/betrayals, Family issues, relationship breakdowns & fertility/infertility issues.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
