Before embarking on my psychotherapy training, I completed a BSc in Socio-cultural studies with a focus on philosophy and literature. While working in the mental health sector, I went through multiple professional trainings, focusing on trauma, which sparked my interest and led me to pursue a degree in Psychology and then Psychotherapy. I currently hold the following qualifications:
MSc in Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP accredited, University of Strathclyde, 2025)
BSc in Psychology with Counselling (BPS accredited, Open University, 2022)
PgCert in Counselling (Edinburgh College, 2018)
I have over eight years of experience in therapy-related roles within the charity sector in Scotland. I worked in mental health and domestic abuse services, with people who experienced sexual abuse and other forms of gender-based violence, as well as childhood and complex trauma. This work has deeply informed my understanding of the contexts in which health and wellbeing exist and my practice as a counsellor.
I work under regular clinical supervision and in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
As the therapy field is ever-changing and growing, I continue to undertake courses and training to deepen my understanding and knowledge. I am open to various healing modalities, and I believe therapy can work very well alongside spiritual and somatic practices.
Complex trauma, PTSD, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, and the ways trauma shows up in daily life - including anxiety, depression, attachment difficulties, and what gets labeled as 'personality disorders'
Chronic pain and illness, disability, self-harm in all its forms, disordered eating, body image, sexuality, gender, body expression, interoception, embodied and somatic exploration
