I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, a German Board Certified Psychotherapist, and a member of Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland (COSCA).

Notes from my Co-Therapist:

Hi, I’m Loki! I’m seven years old and these days I love my naps almost as much as my walks. When I’m out in nature, I get very excited watching birds, especially ducks! I love to chase after them, but don’t worry… I’m way too slow to ever catch one. It’s just my silly game!
