About me
I am a person centred counsellor and supervisor with experience of working in various settings and with a variety of issues.
I am down to earth and offer a genuine, non judgemental space where clients can explore their experience and make sense of their world. I enjoy working with various issues and I have a special interest in long term mental health issues, particularly hearing voices and self harm, and I currently manage a service, working with clients with these types of experiences, which I co founded in 2011.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and watching rubbish on T.V. I am also an animal lover and have recently begun keeping amphibians.
I believe that counselling should be accessible to people whatever their financial situation so I offer a sliding scale on my fees.
I can offer an initial 20 minute meeting at no cost which will give you a chance to decide whether I'm the right person for you at this time.
Training, qualifications & experience
I was awarded my Post Grad Diploma in Person Centred Counselling in 2010 and I completed my counselling supervisor training in 2015, both at Strathclyde University.
I completed my MSc in 2015
I have completed advanced professional training on a wide variety of issues.
I also deliver training.
