About Me

My name is Dianne and I'm a counsellor based in Elgin.  I am married with five grown up children, two grandsons, and two small dogs. I enjoy formal learning, I am a keen swimmer and love nothing more than spending time with my family.

I have enjoyed a varied career, always working with people, starting with hairdressing, home care for the elderly, working with care experienced young people, and latterly as an assistant community care officer.  

​

I was that friend who was sought out to listen without judgment, who offered advice when asked, and to be trusted with deepest confidences.  Before beginning my journey to become a counsellor with formal training, I recognized that I needed to do some personal healing of my own. 

I thought my lived experiences would enable me to help others, however, I needed to be a peace with my past before commencing my professional journey in to professional counselling.

Having been through the process myself I understand that it can be scary at times but I am here to walk along side you on your journey to feeling better.
