Profile

I am a Person Centred Therapist working in Ayrshire. I have a special interest in the mind-body connection and a deep appreciation of the uniqueness of every individual.

Most of my work involves seeing people at my private practice (in Ayr) and I am able to see individuals/couples for counselling either on a long-term or short-term basis as required. I am happy to receive any calls or e-mails to answer any queries you may have.

My work also includes providing counselling services to Employee Assistance Providers throughout the UK. In addition to my initial training, I have completed an in-depth specialist Trauma training, and have experience of attending Critical Incidents (on-site) ranging from terrorist attacks and major accidents, to serious incidents in the workplace - I work with groups and/or individuals as required.
