About me
I am an accredited, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering a compassionate, safe and non-judgemental therapy.
I aim to offer a warm, professional relationship within which we can look at different perspectives over problems and learn about yourself in an environment where you can completely be yourself in a place of safety and confidentiality.
Through the therapeutic relationship we can work together to find new ways forward, which promotes change, acceptance and growth. Clients tell me that counselling helps them see their situations much clearer and begin to naturally feel stronger and gain insight and understanding to make changes that are right for them. Change happens when we face our fears, identify feelings, see problems in a different light and look at patterns that are not working for us.
I currently work from a peaceful setting in Lanark. When the time is right for you feel free to call or email me so that we can work together for a better future.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
