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
Through my extensive experience, I am particularly attuned to the emotional impact of displacement, belonging and navigating complex identity backgrounds. I have dedicated my time to supporting individuals who carry invisible burdens and often feel forgotten by traditional systems, including unpaid carers, refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants. My experience involved helping women navigate racial inequality, cultural displacement and cultural transitions, as well as supporting those caring for loved ones with dementia, additional needs and chronic health conditions. 

Therapeutic Approach
I am a dedicated CBT therapist with a special interest in Intercultural Therapy. While my practice is built on the evidence-based foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I intuitively blend other modalities to fit your therapeutic needs, including:

• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

If life has left you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or disconnected from who you are, please know things can change. I am here to help you move beyond just getting through the day by guiding you toward a life grounded in emotional safety, deep healing and a hopeful future.

Beyond the Therapy Room

When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me trying out a new recipe, spending time with my cats or refreshing my mind with a swim. I also love to unwind through various creative art, whether that’s watercolor painting, junk journaling or urban sketching.
