Working With Me
Initial Consultation
I offer a 10-15 min consultation, either by phone or video call, to discuss your current situation and determine if we are a good fit for working together. This conversation allows us to establish a connection, clarify your goals, and address any questions or concerns you may have about the counselling process. The initial consultation is an important first step in building a strong therapeutic relationship and ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported as we begin our work together.
My Philosophy
My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is integrative and can include goal-oriented, and solution-focused methods if required. I believe in collaborating with clients to identify and work towards their unique goals, rather than imposing a predetermined agenda. Our work together starts with understanding your individual needs, experiences, and aspirations. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy and genuine connection in the hope that we might clearly understand your emotional situation and help you navigate the challenges you face. The client is always the centre of what we do and I prioritise your perspective and work to empower you as the expert in your own life. Together, we will explore your strengths, develop new insights, and build the skills and resilience needed to create lasting, positive change.
Couples Counselling
Westhill, Aberdeenshire and Online
Relationships can be a source of great joy and fulfilment, but they can also present complex challenges and conflicts. In couples counselling, I provide a safe, neutral space for partners to explore their dynamics, communicate openly, and work towards a deeper understanding and connection. Whether you are facing a specific issue or seeking to enhance your overall relationship satisfaction, I will support you in identifying patterns, expressing needs, and developing effective strategies for problem-solving and emotional intimacy. Through a collaborative, non-judgmental approach, we will work to foster empathy, rebuild trust, and strengthen the bond between you both. Couples counselling can help you navigate difficult transitions, improve communication skills, and create a more loving, supportive partnership.
Clinical Supervision
Westhill, Aberdeenshire and Online
I provide clinical supervision for professionals in the counselling and psychotherapy field, including counselling students, trainees, and experienced practitioners. Supervision is an essential component of ethical and effective practice, offering a reflective space to explore clinical work, enhance skills, and ensure the best possible care for clients. I offer both individual and group supervision, tailoring my approach to the unique needs and goals of each supervisee. Whether you are seeking to deepen your theoretical understanding, navigate complex cases, or address personal and professional challenges, I will provide guidance, support, and opportunities for growth. I am committed to creating a collaborative, respectful supervisory relationship that promotes your ongoing development as a practitioner.
