I’m a warm, friendly individual who is passionate about the benefits of having safe spaces to talk about what we are struggling with and to feel truly heard and understood (sometimes for the first time in our lives). I support activism in peace, social justice and equality. Spirituality and nature are important aspects of my life, especially the wonderful Scottish countryside. I’m a trans ally.
I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, genders and sexualities. I am interested in getting to know you, and importantly, supporting you to get to know you. I am a big believer in self-compassion and self-acceptance as powerful agents of change. I also recognise that often our troubles stem from systemic issues and there is a need for system change.
Some issues my clients bring are:
neurodivergence (autism and ADHD in particular)
unpaid caring (for children, partners, parents and others)
anxiety, including health anxiety
loss, including bereavement
trauma
re-connecting with their own feelings and emotions
stress and worry
