I am available for online and in-person sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Thursdays: 09:00 -17.30

Hello there, my name is Shona and I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I understand it can be daunting taking that first step in contacting a therapist. You might feel you want to make changes in your life, want clarity over a life event or experience from the recent or distant past, or you might simply feel that things cannot continue the way they are. Whatever your situation I you'll find I offer a warm, safe and welcoming space.

I am eager to work across many issues but particular areas of professional interest include relationship issues, trauma, expatriation, grief, despair, loss, sexuality, 'third-culture kids', those who have attended Boarding Schools, International Schools and experienced The European School system, cross-cultural relationships, partners of those with addictions, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, spiritual and religious abuse, issues of and around twins, issues around sex work, partners (or family members) of those with addictions, the mother-daughter relationship, issues around low self-esteem/self-worth and The Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). 

Older clients are extremely welcome.

I practice in the English language but have worked with many clients for whom English is not their first language. In particular, I have a good understanding of the Italian culture.

I offer weekly in-person and online sessions (not monthly or fortnightly sessions).

I use what is known as a pluralist approach, meaning that whilst I draw on some of the more widely accepted psychological methodologies such as Person-centred, Psychodynamic and CBT, as well as using creative techniques, I seek to create an equitable, collaborative relationship with each client and together we work at finding the best course of counselling , one that reflects your unique personality, needs, wants and life experiences and where you are at in your life’s journey.

I invite you to take that first step. Choosing to commit to counselling is an act of bravery, self compassion and self love. 

I strive to treat each client with a non-judgemental attitude and with respect, acceptance, openness, honesty and integrity.

I am told I offer a warm and welcoming space to my clients particularly to those feeling lost, confused, angry, unsure, in pain, in despair, vulnerable, sad, betrayed, hurt, lonely, stuck or simply uneasy.

My hope for you is that you use the time we have together to explore the impact of whatever you have come to counselling with and that you feel safe enough to express your worries, concerns, pain, grief, anger etc and eventually we can look at strategies to enable you to live a fuller life.

Our first sessions are really about getting to know each other and getting a feel for being in each other's presence. You can ask any questions you might have and I will ask you a bit about your reasons for coming to counselling, what you hope to get out of it, as well as some questions are life experiences and your present circumstances. I will never force you to talk about anything you are not ready to talk about. This is your safe space.
