About Me
I am originally from Denmark, but I have lived in many locations across Europe. In 2012 I moved to Glasgow to study Psychology for my bachelors degree. In 2016 I found my roots here in Edinburgh where I completed my masters in Psychology of Mental Health. After my masters degree I decided I wanted to become a counsellor and in 2018 I embarked on my journey to complete my formal counselling training. I have completed my professional counselling training through the Professional Doctorate in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Edinburgh University. I am a registered member of COSCA (the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland) and adhere to their ethical guidelines.
My passion for helping and supporting people developed at an early age as I knew I wanted to work with mental health and wellbeing. For the past 10 years I have worked in various roles across various locations within the mental health and wellbeing sector. Throughout my undergraduate degree I worked in the US as a camp counsellor for children and young people. I have also completed a mental health placement through SLV Global where I worked within a mental health hospital in Sri Lanka. Throughout my placement there I also ran therapeutic activities for children and adults. Here in Edinburgh, I work as a counsellor with children, young people, and adults through my private practice. I also work with children through Place2Be. Currently I am in my final year of my professional doctorate program where I am completing my thesis.
In my free time I enjoy improving my physical fitness and spending time in nature. Both are a strong inspiration in my practice as I find they are safe spaces for me yet at the same time they challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone at times, which is a tension I have found present in counselling as well.

ISSUES I CAN HELP WITH
I have worked with a broad range of clients, and I offer counselling for both adults and children. My previous clients have explored issues relating to:
COPING WITH LOSS
Loss does not only refer to the loss of a loved one it can refer to a wide range of changes or life events. It is normal to feel angry, sad, or lonely when it comes to bereavement and loss. Loss may leave you struggling to cope and feeling like you're out of control of your situation.
