My Approach

As a qualified Pluralistic counsellor and Psychotherapist, I am currently providing in-person counselling in Dumfries, Scotland and online, nationally via Zoom.


WHAT IS PLURALISTIC COUNSELLING?

When working pluralistically it is recognised that there is no one truth, but a multitude. Therefore, when working with a client, I work in collaboration to understand your truth 'internal frame of reference'. I firmly believe we are all unique and therefore require different things at different times. It is important to me to understand where you are today.

WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU 

When we begin our sessions together, I utilise the skills that I have acquired through my diverse professional background and experience. I tailor my approach to fit your preferred therapeutic style. I may incorporate person-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and creative practices such as using stones, art, or writing.


I have experience working with a diverse range of clients and sensitive issues. Together, we will establish common ground and develop therapy goals.


I can support with areas such as Anxiety, Bereavement, Burnout, Coping Skills, Caring roles, Dementia, Depression, Domestic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, LGBTQ+, Loneliness, Low self-esteem, low self-confidence, Relationship Problems, Self-harm, Separation and divorce, Sexual abuse, Stress, Sensory loss, Suicidal Thoughts, Trauma, Work-related stress. 


 I have extensive experience working with Unpaid Carers and individuals with sensory loss. I am an Accredited Sight Loss Counsellor via RNIB.  In addition, I have a particular interest in bereavement, childhood trauma and compassion fatigue/moral injury/work-related stress.
