I am really pleased to share that we’ll soon be welcoming a new female therapist to the Brave Journeys team.

Angela be offering sessions on Tuesday evenings, which I know will be a helpful option for many people.

Angela comes with a real wealth of experience and, just as importantly, she aligns strongly with the values that sit at the heart of Brave Journeys and the Thrive setting. Care that is thoughtful, trauma-informed and human. No rushing. No fixing. Just creating a space where people feel safe enough to be themselves.

I’m really excited about what she’ll bring and the support this will allow us as a practice to offer.

Her Tuesday evening sessions at Thrive Ellon are available to book from 17th Feb by using this link below.:

My name is Angela and I am an experienced, trauma‑informed, Person‑Centred Counsellor with a background in educational and NHS settings. The skills I’ve developed in these environments have strengthened my empathy for those struggling to maintain a healthy work–life balance or working within a high-pressure environment. I support a variety of diverse issues from parenting and family relationships to menopause and self-esteem. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals living with chronic illness, particularly—but not exclusively—those affected by Multiple Sclerosis. Whatever your circumstances, I aim to provide steady support, understanding, and a place to feel heard.

My approach is not limited to specific issues, and I will listen non-judgmentally and respectfully to you whatever you need support with. Taking that first step is challenging and my aim is to make that step as supportive as possible. I offer a compassionate and grounded space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, supporting recovery, growth, and self‑understanding.

I am open‑minded, genuine, and empathic, with a healthy sense of humour. I value offering balance, sensitivity, and moments to pause. My commitment to working collaboratively, and my belief in the counselling process, continue to make this work deeply rewarding. I look forward to meeting you
