Meet Your Therapist

Hello! I am the founder & psychotherapist behind Courage Beyond Counselling, a fully qualified Cognitive-behavioural therapist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. 

Clinical Experience & Specialisms
Throughout my clinical practice, I have dedicated my time to supporting clients who carry invisible burdens and often feel overlooked by traditional systems including unpaid carers, refugees and immigrants. My work involved guiding women through racial inequality, cultural displacement and complex life transitions, as well as supporting those caring for loved ones with dementia, additional needs and chronic health conditions.

These profound experiences have deeply shaped my clinical specialism: helping people navigate the quiet, unacknowledged grief that comes with carrying heavy roles, losing familiar worlds, or stepping away from former identities and guiding them as they gently rebuild a grounded sense of self."

Therapeutic Approach
Grounded in Cognitive-behavioural Therapy and enriched by Intercultural Therapy, my approach is tailored entirely around your unique story and pace. Therapy is never a one-size-fits-all process. I integrate elements of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to gently meet you where you are. Together, we don't just focus on managing symptoms—we work to help you process grief, quiet self-criticism, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Beyond the Therapy Room

Outside my practice, I make time for small practices that bring calm and balance to my own life. I unwind with my cats, try a new recipe or clear my mind with a swim. I also find deep peace in creative arts, including watercolor painting, junk journaling or urban sketching.
