about me
I am an accredited integrative counsellor based in St Andrews.
My journey into counselling began after experiencing PTSD following a serious car accident. Finding the right support and rebuilding my own sense of safety changed my life and inspired me to leave my corporate job and retrain as a therapist.
Today, I work with adults and young people (13+) experiencing trauma, anxiety, low mood, depression, relationship struggles, academic stress, and general emotional overwhelm.
my approach
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I use a warm and relational style and draw from from evidence-based therapeutic approaches:
- Person-centred therapy
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Attachment-theory
- Trauma-informed methods
- Somatic awareness & grounding
Together, we explore what works best for you.
