Counselling in Moray

There are many reasons to seek counselling - you may be feeling lost, confused or overwhelmed by situations in your life which feel unresolvable. You may be struggling with past experiences and traumas which are still shaping who you are in the present. You may be finding your life unsatisfactory but unable to see the way forward or you may long for a deeper understanding of yourself; your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. There are times in life when our usual ways of resolving issues no longer seem sufficient, appropriate or just don't work, leaving us feeling we are facing the world alone - counselling can help.

I offer online therapy, both individual and group work for people who may be seeking change in their lives, may be struggling with aspects of their life and want greater self understanding. I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and group analyst. I have experience of conducting on-line therapy groups for individuals affected by the experience of Covid pandemic and especially those recovering from Long Covid.

I don’t work exclusively with clients who are neurodivergent (ND), but I do have a special interest and experience of supporting ND humans and how their lives can be impacted, whether that's with studies, work, family, relationships. I am diagnosed ADHD and have worked with ND teens, adults, and their families for many years. I offer an empathic ear, and a safe space to explore whatever is happening for you. I run psycho-educational workshops on ADHD, can offer strategies and help with symptoms, managing anxiety, overwhelm, and getting your life back on track. Give me a call and we can have a chat and see where I can support you.

As a COSCA Accredited person-centred counsellor I provide a place of safety and confidentiality where you can discuss openly what is troubling you, a place where you’ll be listened to. It may be that you are stressed, angry, frustrated, anxious, depressed, feeling lost or simply stuck, not sure what to do or how to express how you feel. Maybe you have suffered a loss or a bereavement and need help to find your way of moving on. I will be accepting and non-judgemental of what you have to say and work with you to help you find your answer.

Do you pretend to function well on the outside but feel down, unmotivated and lack confidence on the inside? Are you no longer enjoying the things you once did, not quite sure what is going on for you but know something does not feel right? Feeling anxious, experiencing difficulties with relationships or finding it hard to deal with a bereavement or a loss of some sort? These issues and many others can throw us off course in life, momentarily losing ourselves. Or maybe more simply, there is a curiosity and desire to get to know yourself better.

I have over 30 years experience in supporting people with ADHD and High Functioning Autism. I share techniques to improve executive functioning, help set goals, prioritize, develop self awareness, unlock potential, stop underachieving. Understanding how developmental trauma (CPTSD) impacts on the nervous system and current relationships is vital and developing ways to dialogue, to listen to others, to feel heard is important. As a person-centred therapist I welcome a deep personal engagement and human connection and create a safe respectful space for healing to help you face life, become more confident and be who you really are.

Life's challenges can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and uncertain. If you find yourself adrift amidst situations that seem insurmountable, struggling with past traumas, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, counselling offers a guiding light. Step into a space that's empathetic, non-judgmental, and secure—a place where you can explore your life's complexities. Together, we'll navigate the areas you wish to change, unravel patterns that no longer serve you, and address any pain you may carry. As you gain clarity about yourself, transformation and liberation become attainable goals.

I am currently practicing Face to Face in Lossiemouth and also via Online platforms. 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 hear what you are saying.

Life can challenge us all. Sometimes we feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed by our emotions or unsure how to change a situation that is hurting us. I can help. I support clients with a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, difficulty adjusting to relocation or changed circumstances, relationships, self-esteem and identity. Events and unresolved trauma from our past can have a significant impact on present feelings. Having the opportunity to talk in a safe, supportive space free of judgement, can help to make sense of what is going in your life and enable you to find a clear way forward.

You may have heard that counselling offers you a 'calm, safe space'. I always create a safe space, but I do not expect you to always be calm. Counselling is about bringing everything about you to sessions, whether that is needing to sit and cry or needing to let your anger out within a safe space. Having a time and place to explore and feel these emotions can help you to grow, by being seen, heard, and accepted for who you are. I am a humanist counsellor my pronouns are she/they. I work within the core concepts of person centred. I create a safe and non-judgemental space to begin building the relationship.

I assume you are here because you need help/understanding or seek direction with your life. I completely understand those reasonings and they were some of my motivations to train as a psychotherapist. I have been a client as well as counsellor and therefore aware of that trepidation of taking those first steps towards therapy. I'm glad I did because it empowered me in my desire to do what was right — for me. I am passionate about supporting those struggling with issues which is why I keep my prices as low as possible. You are a valuable individual. You've started your journey now see where it leads you.

Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Is it all getting too much at times? Do you feel stuck but don’t know how to change? Counselling Could Be The Answer It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where therapy can help.

At times like these it can be difficult to imagine a meaningful future and you might feel stuck, undervalued, unheard or just unsure how you can carry on. I'm here to help
