Why I became a counsellor
I think I've always had a curiosity for people's stories, both the hardships they've overcome and connection with joy and knowing oneself. It is the greatest honor to be alongside people in their darkest moments and to see the transformation that happens with compassionate challenging. .
I remember who I needed in moments I lost myself and I will always be grateful to the therapists I had, past and present who helped me to achieve things I never thought could be possible. I'm intent on setting a legacy. Especially one where marginalized people experience gentleness and care, in a world that often feels unrelenting.
Seeing clients achieve their goals; especially in being more caring towards themselves, celebrating themselves, feeling hopeful towards possibility is a profound treasure to me.
Goals for the future
To complete EMDR training.
My second big dream is to be able to create more organizations and training that offer post cult support through Scotland, as often families are left with little support with professionals who are unsure how to help them.
My hobbies and interests
When I'm not working you'll often find me in the woods or the sea. I have a deep relationship with nature and its where I go to connect with myself.
I love to forage, dry flowers, look for insects and mushrooms (2 of my special interests!) alongside going for a dip with cold water swimming.
