Counselling support with personalised sessions
Caring Counselling provides confidential counselling for people in Boat of Garten and the surrounding Scottish Highlands, offering a calm space to talk through experiences, emotions, and situations that may feel difficult to manage alone. My integrative approach allows me to adapt sessions around your individual circumstances rather than following one fixed method.
I support people experiencing anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, low self-esteem, bereavement, addiction, and the effects of abuse. Appointments can be arranged online, by telephone or in person, giving you flexibility based on what feels most comfortable for you.


A counselling approach shaped around you
I understand that opening up about personal experiences can take time, so I work at a pace that feels manageable for you. My integrative counselling approach draws from different therapeutic modalities, allowing me to consider what may be most appropriate for your circumstances.
I can support people dealing with historical trauma, C-PTSD, emotional difficulties, and challenging life experiences. Sessions usually last between 50 and 60 minutes, providing dedicated time to explore what is affecting you while maintaining a professional and confidential environment throughout our work together.
Support for difficult experiences and life changes
I provide counselling for a range of personal difficulties and experiences, including abuse, addiction, bereavement, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma and low self-esteem. I recognise that people can respond differently to difficult situations, so I take time to understand what you are experiencing before deciding how we can work together.
As a BACP-registered counsellor, I provide a professional and confidential setting where you can speak openly without feeling judged. If you are based in Boat of Garten, near Aviemore or elsewhere in the surrounding area, I can offer counselling through a format that suits your circumstances.

Counselling options to suit your circumstances
I offer different ways to access counselling, which can be particularly useful if travelling from Boat of Garten or elsewhere in the Scottish Highlands is difficult. You can choose online, telephone, or face-to-face sessions depending on your circumstances and preferences.
Remote appointments can provide greater flexibility around work, family commitments, and travel, while in-person counselling offers the opportunity to meet directly. I aim to make accessing support as straightforward as possible, without adding unnecessary pressure to your routine. Every appointment provides private space for open and honest conversation.
