Just like a harbour shelters
ships from storms…

Our work together can offer you a space to rest from the emotional turbulence of life

Yes, life has challenges - that’s part of being human, but you don’t have to face them unhappy or alone.

No matter what you are facing, you deserve to meet it with strength, self-worth and a lighter mind. If you find yourself always showing up for others, now it’s time to show up for yourself too.

I believe that life isn’t meant to be lived stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion. However, when you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, pushing through burnout, or carrying the weight of never feeling “enough”, it can be hard to believe anything different is possible - but it is! I can offer you the time and space to reflect, breath and rediscover parts of yourself you may have neglected. My pluralistic approach to therapy means that together we will tailor your sessions for what you need in the present moment; reminding you that you are the expert of your own life.

Whether you are a sensitive soul, a people pleaser, or simply someone trying to hold it all together - a softer way of living is possible and you’re allowed to want more than just getting by. You deserve to feel peace and above all more YOU.

Hour-Long Sessions

 I value face-to-face connection, so therapy sessions are held in-person in my therapy room (The Holistic Harbour) located in Grierson House, within the Dumfries Crichton grounds.

Pluralistic Approach

I am a pluralistic counsellor which means I believe there is no one set way to approach life.  Together, we can explore a range of different methods and ideas; with emphasis placed on the awareness that only you know what will work best for you.

Anyone and Any Difficulty

I am happy to work with anyone above the age of 16 on any difficulty or challenge you may be experiencing unless additional specialised input is needed - in which case I can aim to help you find someone who has that.

A Space Just for You

Therapy with me at the Holistic Harbour aims to offer a space just for you - a place to unpack emotional weight, reconnect with your needs and remind yourself of how to navigate life in a way that supports your well-being.

I’m Jordan, a female Pluralistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Dumfries.

I aim to create a warm, non-judgemental space where you can hopefully find comfort in being yourself. I don’t claim to be the expert on your life - you are. My role is to be present alongside you, helping you reconnect with your own insight, values, and strengths. Together, we can explore what may be going on for you - whether you are looking for clarity, growth, or simply a space to reflect. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or queries.

Questions before getting started?

I offer a free 15 minute no obligation initial conversation over the phone if you would like to speak to me to ask any questions and check that I may be the right fit for you. If this is something you are interested in then please contact me.
