About Shona

You don’t have to work through it all on your own.

 

Whatever has brought you here, taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, or simply unsure of what to do next.

 

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, be yourself and feel genuinely heard. Together, we can explore what’s happening for you, understand things from a different perspective and work towards finding a way forward that feels right for you.

 

I’m a qualified Counsellor with 11 years’ experience, and my approach is Integrative. In simple terms, this means there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I draw on different therapeutic techniques and tailor our work to you, your individual needs and what you’re experiencing.

 

Over the years, I’ve supported adults through a wide range of difficulties, both within my private practice and through my work with the NHS, Mind and Cruse Bereavement Support.

 

I can support you with issues including:

 

  • Anxiety and worry

  • Depression and low mood

  • Stress and feeling overwhelmed

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Trauma

  • Abuse

  • Anger

  • Addiction

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Work-related difficulties

​

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to counselling. You don’t even need to know exactly what you want to talk about.

 

You just need to take that first step.
