Counselling
Pluralistic counselling invites us to draw on many well evidenced psychological and counselling tools as well as consciously tapping into your own strengths and resources. Our combined experience and knowledge is used to make sense of the troubles you might be encountering. Working holistically, we embark in a process involving collaboration, shared decision making, dialogue about what’s happening in therapy itself and bringing attention to how your body communicates through sensation during therapy. Through this self-awareness, you are reminded of self-knowing – finding what feels best for you.
Emphasis is always on what you hope to achieve through counselling and the ways you are okay with trying to reach those goals. Counselling can be hard work…and at times, a messy journey into the unknown. It is more often insightful, transformative and healing. It is always a unique opportunity to connect deeply with the essence of your own self.

Talking While Walking
Counselling sessions while walking in the outdoors invite you to take an active role in therapy.
We slow down the pace and allow for pauses to notice the surrounding environment. This awareness encourages presence in the moment. In this way, Nature often surprises us with helpful metaphors that can bring about a sense of aliveness often not accessible through words alone.
The freedom of unrestricted movement in the outdoors stimulates a different quality of breathing which can soothe and regulate a troubled nervous system.
My observations and feedback from clients is that outdoor therapy can awaken a deep sense of connection – a sense of place and belonging.
A blend of indoor and outdoor therapy can be arranged.
Local woodland and coastal areas in Fife offer many opportunities for safe and restorative therapy. Sometimes the weather might feel too challenging to meet outdoors. I am always flexible and pay attention to your particular needs & preferences
The combination of physical activity and the outdoors stimulates the brain, encouraging creative thinking and problem-solving.
All Will Be Well
Low Cost Sessions
My vision is for holistic well-being to be an available choice for people, regardless of their financial means. The generous donations and compassion of some of my clients enables me to offer a limited number of low cost sessions per week.
‘All will be well – and all manner of things shall be well’.
What is it?
I am committed to the practice of sustainable healthcare systems that acknowledge the connection between the health of the planet and the health of its inhabitants. Offering 3 low-cost 60 minute sessions per week (counselling or homeopathy) meets a need in me to be more inclusive and work to improve the wellbeing of local residents.
What does ‘low-cost’ actually mean?
