Counselling in W14
I have experience in dealing with young people as well as being grounded in working with older adults and their issues. Young adult suffering from low mood or anxiety, adolescents struggling with school based issues, eating disorders, social anxieties and traumas of family life are suited to my practice. It can be difficult reaching out for help but if you can connect correctly with another individual it can help build confidence and rebuild your life. Many people struggle with unresolved pain or illness. I offer techniques to cope with these issues. Often psychological barriers prevent our healing successfully.

I aim to create an empathic and containing therapeutic space in which you feel safe to explore the difficulties that may be troubling you, be that feelings of sadness, fear, depression, anxiety, difficulties in key relationships, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. In therapy, we will work together to develop an understanding of what happened in your life that may have triggered these difficulties, and what may be maintaining these difficulties now.

People may come for therapy because of specific issues such as recent or past trauma, loss, relationship difficulties or for support with making life changes. But often, we don't know why we feel bad about ourselves or our lives - we may simply know we're depressed, anxious, stuck or frustrated. Therapy can provide a safe, non-judgemental space in which to figure out where we are in our lives, and what we need next. For some, this may be a short course of counselling, for others a longer term psychotherapy and yet others may find they need something other than therapy: my job is to support you in making your own decision.

You may be feeling low or anxious and stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that affect your mood, relationships, and daily life. These patterns might leave you feeling trapped, unable to move past self-doubt, worry or procrastination. You want to feel more confident, grounded, and in control of both your thoughts and actions. You're seeking practical support to break free from these ongoing struggles and regain a sense of ease and balance in your life.

Maybe you are going through a bereavement and are struggling to find your way through. Maybe you have big goals but know that it is your fears and doubts holding you back from achieving them.
My approach is integrative and intuitive, drawing on a blend of counselling, coaching, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and hypnosis to create a space that is uniquely tailored to you. I believe that each person’s healing journey is deeply personal, and together we will explore what works best for you—whether that’s through talking therapy, subconscious exploration, or gentle transformational techniques.

I work respectfully with a diverse range of clients and situations bringing a warm, supportive and non-judgemental approach. I work with many issues including, (but not exhaustive) sexual abuse and trauma, disassociation, PTSD and complex PDST, relationships, family dynamics, cancer, dementia, addictions and carer support. It is helpful to bring what may be troubling you, either from the past or present to the safety of a counselling relationship. Many people find they are then more confident to be able to make positive changes in their lives through counselling support. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation.

Clients often come to therapy struggling with overwhelming emotions—whether related to loved ones or life events. Relying on coping strategies or defenses can create a sense of rigidity, leaving you feeling stuck and disconnected from what matters most. Emotions are our GPS and also the glue that bonds us with one another, thus their importance to navigate through life.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or painful memories that seem to shape your present? You don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can be a powerful space for healing and growth. In my work, I help individuals uncover the deeper emotional and relational patterns that influence how they think, feel, and connect with others. My approach draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences shape your present, while integrating practical tools from CBT to support lasting change.

Hello, I'm a counsellor and a trauma-focused therapist based in Aberdeen, Scotland. I offer one-on-one therapy sessions, either online or in-person.
My professional , educational and volunteering journeys have enabled me to understand impacts of traumatic events (war, childhood abuse, and sexual abuse) on mental health. These adverse events can shatter everything you believe in, leaving you feeling lost, suicidal, not knowing who you are anymore. I can help you make new meanings, heal and grow.
I am flexible in my practice where I integrate various evidence-based therapeutic interventions to meet your needs and foster healing.

Feeling left behind? Is you partnership in trouble, resentments becoming unmanageable, fights getting worse and affecting your children. Are you missing the trust and intimacy you once had?

You may look like you’re coping well on the outside, but inside feel anxious, exhausted or close to burnout.
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who carry a lot of responsibility, struggle to switch off, and feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, pressure or emotional overload.
You might be dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep problems or the lingering impact of past experiences, and want things to feel calmer, clearer and more sustainable again.
