Hi I'm Adam. I guess your searching these pages in the hope to find someone to connect with so you can feel comfortable enough to be honest and open about some of the struggles you may be experiencing. I am non-judgmental in my approach and will help you find your own strengths. I have lived experience of addiction which has given me a different outlook towards life. I am a firm believer that people can change and better themselves. Through my own experiences I want to help others like myself who do not know where to turn to. I find it a privilege to support people through their struggles and journey.

We all have times when we have to face challenges and juggle life; this can be a very stressful time. When we are feeling, sad, alone, stressed, anxious, depressed or having relationship worries these can seem overwhelming. You may feel unable to talk to friends or family for fear of being judged. It's at times like these that we may need a helping hand, a safe place to talk, someone to talk to without feeling judged and someone who will listen to you.

I specialise in working with children, young people and families, helping to overcome challenges associated with school and mental health difficulties as well as the impact of trauma. My approach is based upon a belief that children and families should be able to access the psychological advice and support they need, when they need it. I understand that accessing professional advice from services can sometimes feel intimidating or impossible due to long waiting lists. I therefore aim to offer an approachable and professional service, and offer home visits for families who prefer a more relaxed and comfortable approach.

Are you feeling trapped, stuck and finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? The daily life feels tasteless and numb to you. You seem to remember who you used to be, but who you are, at this stage, uneasy, emotional, is very foreign to you. On the counselling journey with me, I will explore and assist you to trace down to the rootcauses of these symptoms (e.g. palpitations, panic, low mood, anger), and release the stuck parts in you from the past memories and present experiences.

Therapy is a space where your story—no matter how big or small—matters. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, family issues, challenges in relationships, low self-esteem, or life transitions, therapy offers you a place to pause and reflect. Life is unpredictable, and no two experiences are the same. That’s why I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll work together to find what fits you best.

In a world where we have so many avenues to communicate with others, it seems like no one is actually listening which can create a sense of loneliness and isolation. You don't want to burden others with your issues, it's too personal, or they have their own. But just having that space for you, regularly, with someone who you know will show empathy, respect and honesty, who will give you time to process issues that are preventing you from moving on is a space you really need.

At some point in our lives, we may feel ‘things’ are too much for us to manage alone. Whether, we have experienced trauma, feel anxious or depressed or just don’t know what’s wrong or who we are anymore, it can feel overwhelming. It is important to find someone you feel will listen to you and really hear what you are saying. I offer flexible appointments, for example, weekly, fortnightly.

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 when COVID regulations permit and 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.

Do you feel lost or overwhelmed? Is life getting too much to face at times? Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward? Are you finding it difficult to share whats going on for you? Counselling may be the answer. Having someone impartial to talk to, who understands and empathises with your experience could be the comfort you need. I believe that people seek therapy because they want to make changes in their lives. Often we are faced with challenges, pain and uncertainty on our journey through life, which at times can feel frightening and overwhelming to explore.
