Hello. I'm Toni, a person-centred counsellor, working one-to-one with adults, in person near Grantown on Spey (both indoors and outside "walk and talk" sessions), and online and by phone from anywhere in the UK.

There’s no “right” or “wrong” reason to come to counselling, and you don’t have to be in crisis to do so.

Do you feel as if you have lost a sense of who you are, what it means to be you? Maybe life’s responsibilities have meant your needs have always come second or you have always had a particular role that limits you in freely expressing your own needs. Maybe relationships or circumstances in your life have dominated your choices, and external judgement and expectations tend to shape and influence your life more than you’d like. Or perhaps a life event has led you to re-evaluate and reassess what feels important. It can be confusing and disempowering to feel so disconnected from the things in life that make you feel like you.

If you are reading this it's likely that you are struggling emotionally, perhaps with anxiety, finding life tough, longing to find answers or for things to change. Maybe there is a sense that something profound is missing, but you don't know what. Perhaps there are aspects of your behaviour that you don't understand or even don't like. I know how hard it can be. The good news is that by even noticing your feelings and making these first steps to reach out YOU are already on the path to change. So whatever has drawn you here, I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and can help you find the answers and change you long for.

With the right therapeutic approach, it is possible to make our problems more manageable, whether new or ongoing issues. When engaging in talking therapy we all expect a non-judgmental, supportive space to explore or address, re-visit or understand current issues that are holding you back from achieving your desired happiness and well-being. I will support you on this journey with my knowledge, strength, optimism, support and commitment to you as an individual. I promise to be there for you every step of your journey to help you heal from your pain, and move forward more positively

If you're struggling with emotional distress, psychotherapy can help. Understanding your symptoms is often the first step towards recovery. If you can see a rational explanation for your problems, you are likely to engage in a hopeful way with therapy to restore your mental health. I would listen carefully to your account of what you face on a daily basis and to what it was like to be a child, an adolescent and an adult in your particular family setting. I would also be interested in what helps you cope. Reclaiming your normal life will involve building on your own strengths and on relationships with those you trust.

Difficult and challenging life situations affect us all. Sometimes however, we can get overwhelmed or find it a struggle to cope with these things, whether they are in our surroundings, our relationships or in our own thinking and general emotional health. If you feel that you would benefit from support, then it would be my sincere hope that by working with me you would quickly recover a sense of equilibrium and get back on track.
