Aisir means 'path' in Scottish Gaelic. As a counsellor, I strive to guide each client through life transitions following the healthiest paths possible, so that they can gain knowledge, confidence, and comfort, no matter their medical diagnosis, age, and life stage. We are always evolving, more so in the context of loss.
My collaborative and flexible approach to counselling involves evidence-based therapy infused with creativity gained over years of experience in the field of mental health.
I work with individuals, and families to navigate challenges associated with chronic conditions such as:
- Dementia
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Systems Atrophy
- Acquired Brain Injury
- Major Mental Illnesses
