BACP Registered Qualified Counsellor. A safe space to heal, grow and thrive.
You Don’t Have to Face It Alone. Let’s Walk This Journey Together.
Life can be complex and sometimes we all need support. Whether you’re navigating a difficult time, carrying a heavy burden, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, this space is for you. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore what’s on your mind and heart at your own pace. With empathy and curiosity, we’ll uncover the insights and resources already within you.
Can you imagine having a compassionate space where you’re truly heard?
What sets our work apart is that our sessions are guided by your needs. Your feelings, experiences and growth are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re here to heal or simply understand yourself better, we’ll take it step by step – together. There’s no rush, no pressure and no expectation to have everything figured out – just a space where you can feel heard and supported.
Everyone’s journey is unique and I’m here to walk alongside you, wherever you are. You don’t need to have it all figured out – our sessions are a place to simply be with whatever you’re feeling. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, or seeking personal growth, we’ll work collaboratively to find answers that align with your values and needs. We’ll move forward in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you, always at your pace.
I’m Scottish, based in London and I spent 17 years living in France. If it feels easier to express yourself in French, English, or a mix of both, we can work in whatever way feels most natural for you. Having lived between cultures, I bring a thoughtful understanding of different backgrounds and perspectives.

My Background and Experience:
I trained at the Metanoia Institute in London where I gained a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. Since establishing my practice in 2019, I have supported individuals and couples through a variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges. I have many years of experience as a bereavement counsellor in a hospice setting and have previously worked with diverse clients in a community counselling service. Prior to my counselling work, I worked in very demanding high-pressured environments, which has given me insight into the challenges and stresses people may face. Whether you’re dealing with stress, conflict, performance pressures or communication difficulties, I offer a supportive space where we can explore what’s happening for you and how you might navigate these experiences in a way that feels right for you.
Professional Training and Development:
In addition to my counselling qualifications, I continue to develop my practice through ongoing training in areas such as emotional regulation, mindfulness tools, trauma-informed approaches and couples/relationship therapy. This allows me to offer a thoughtful, responsive space that reflects your individual needs.
As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their Ethical Framework, ensuring that our work together takes place within a safe, professional and ethical space. I also engage in regular supervision and professional development to ensure I can offer the best possible support to those I work with.
