How We Think, Feel and Relate Informs Our Understanding of Ourselves, Our Relationships and Lived Experiences

I’m an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, supporting adults who are struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, including PTSD, early attachment wounds and childhood sexual abuse.

I also support adults facing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD and relationship difficulties, as well as bereavement, anger and the effects of bullying — issues that can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others and manage everyday life.

Life does not always unfold as we expect. Change, uncertainty and emotional pain can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves. Yet alongside these challenges are resilience, inner strength, and the capacity to heal.

In therapy, we take time to explore not only what is troubling us now, but what may lie beneath it. Past experiences, relationships and patterns can continue to influence how we think, feel and respond in the present. Understanding these connections can bring greater self-awareness and open up new possibilities for change.

Together, we work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what is keeping you stuck and drawing on your own strengths and resources. My aim is to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion and clarity, so that you can begin to make choices that feel more authentic and right for you.

My Role is to Help You:

Through our work together, I can help you to:

  • Understand and manage difficult emotions and behaviours
  • Develop greater insight, confidence and emotional resilience
  • Work through traumatic or painful experiences from the past
  • Understand and move beyond fears and inner criticism
  • Find greater clarity and discover solutions that feel right for you


Our work is always guided by you. We’ll build a trusting, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on and move toward the life you want to live.

You can find details about fees, payment options, and the low cost counselling service here.

"I have learned a lot about myself and I will often think back on those 'aha' moments I had when Rhona captured so perfectly the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing but not being able to connect or express it."

L.P.

"Rhona was able to help me obtain an understanding of a recent difficult period in my life and together we unpacked it in a way that helped me to move past it. I am now more confident in knowing who I am today and what is important to me. Thanks to her I am exploring new life avenues that I most likely wouldn't have uncovered on my own."

J.R.

"I was covered head-to-toe in shame and worthlessness. I knew something wasn’t working for me. Rhona helped me to gain an understanding and compassion for my trauma, which in turn, allowed me to let go of it. I learned that the most powerful tool for anyone is understanding who they are. The world is much less scary and overwhelming. You won’t find a more professional and compassionate therapist."

A. GC

"I have hugely benefitted from Rhona’s expertise, kindness, sense of humour and generosity of spirit. She has treated pre-existing conditions including PTSD and provided me with the vital support to pursue an ADHD diagnosis. Our therapy has involved discussing difficult aspects of my personal history and learning about how they impact me in the present. Unlike in my previous experiences of therapy, Rhona has always made me feel entirely supported and ‘held’ in this process. The sense of validation and understanding is carried through into Rhona’s sensitivity to and knowledge of issues relating to my identity as a queer, non-binary individual.

When I first met Rhona, I was struggling to live my daily life and pursue my passions. My academic work had ground to a halt and I was struggling to deal with the impact that past traumas were having on me. With Rhona’s support, I have now successfully completed my doctorate and am looking forward to a happier future with greater self-knowledge and understanding. My sessions with her have changed my life.
