“A very competent counsellor, a credit to the profession.”
Welcome to Ebb & Flow Counselling
Based in Pittenweem, near Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, I offer a pluralistic approach to in-person, online, and walk and talk counselling. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings around various concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, work-related stress, family or relationship issues, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and childhood trauma. You've taken a positive step towards your well-being, and I’m here to guide you through the process. Let's start this journey together.
In-person counselling
As a pluralistic counsellor, I believe in tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs. My practice is primarily grounded in person-centred counselling, focusing on creating a safe and empathetic space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Depending on your unique situation, we may draw from psychodynamic techniques to delve into your past experiences and how they may be influencing your present. Additionally, we may incorporate cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to address specific thought patterns and behaviours.
Counselling with me is a collaborative process aimed at fostering understanding, facilitating positive change, and nurturing personal growth. Together, we will work towards finding the most effective tools and strategies to support your journey towards holistic well-being.
I warmly invite you to experience the tranquil setting of my calming garden room nestled in the serene and picturesque village of Pittenweem, where you can embark on your therapeutic journey in a peaceful and soothing environment.
£45 for 50 minute session.
Walk & talk therapy
Walk and talk sessions are a unique and therapeutic way to engage in counselling, allowing for a holistic approach to wellness amidst the natural beauty of the East Neuk of Fife.
The serene surroundings of the forest or the tranquil expanse of the beach provide an ideal atmosphere for a peaceful, undisturbed session. Nature has a remarkable way of promoting relaxation and facilitating open conversation.
For our initial session, we will meet in my counselling room, where we can discuss your needs and preferences for future meetings. This will enable us to determine the most suitable and comfortable locations for our subsequent walk and talk sessions.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery amidst the tranquillity of the East Neuk of Fife.
Sessions are 50 - 60 minutes (A little extra time is given in walk and talk sessions than a standard counselling session to allow for any pauses due to passing walkers etc.
£50 for 50 -60 minute session.
Online counselling
I offer the flexibility of online sessions for clients who prefer the convenience and comfort of virtual counselling. Our online sessions are conducted through Google Meet, providing a secure and familiar platform for my clients to engage with me.
Each online session is structured to mirror our in-person sessions, with a duration of 50 minutes. This allows for a focused and effective therapeutic experience while accommodating the unique dynamics of virtual communication.
Whether you are unable to attend in-person sessions or simply prefer the flexibility of online counselling, I am dedicated to providing a supportive and impactful experience to help you navigate life's challenges.
£45 for 50 minute session.
Concession rates
I currently offer a limited number of low-income spaces at a concessionary rate. These spaces are specifically designed to provide support to individuals who may be facing financial constraints but are in need of therapeutic services. The concessionary rate offers a block of 6 weekly sessions at £25 per session, available only during daytime slots.
