Hi, I’m Angela — Transactional Analysis Counsellor, mum to three fantastic boys, passionate dog-walker, and someone who believes relationships (like golf swings) can always be improved with the right technique.

Here’s a little snapshot of me:

• East Lothian life

Living by the coast with my partner, a blended family of four boys and one girl, and two loyal dogs who insist every walk is an adventure.

• Lover of links and leafy trails

You’ll often find me teeing off on the golf course or recharging with a walk through the woodlands or along the coastal paths. Nature is my therapy (well, that and actual therapy).

• How it all began

My journey into Transactional Analysis (TA) started when I was pregnant with my third son and navigating complex family dynamics. TA offered tools, insight, and hope — and I was hooked.

• From client to counsellor

I began formal training in TA in 2018. COVID threw a curveball (didn’t it for us all?), and I adapted to complete my training online — now giving me the flexibility to work confidently both in-person and online.

• Certified Couples Counsellor

Trained with The Couples Institute using the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model. As someone who’s experienced divorce and blended family life, I bring both professional training and personal insight to my work with couples.

• What drives me

Helping people unravel unhelpful patterns, build better communication, and feel more connected — whether it’s with themselves or those they love.
