Profile

I work from a person-centred perspective which means I believe each of us has the capacity to grow and develop and find our own inner resources to help us cope with life's challenges.  Sometimes these challenges can feel too much to manage on our own and it can be difficult to share these struggles with those close to us.  I see my task as helping you express and explore what's on your mind to enable you to see things more clearly and gain a better understanding of who you are and what choices or changes, if any, you may wish to make.

I believe the relationship between us is an important element to help facilitate this growth.  I endeavour to create a warm, genuine and accepting relationship within a safe, secure space where you can feel free to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged.  Each client's experience is unique and I will go with whatever you choose to bring.  I am willing to stay alongside you for as long as is necessary and appropriate for both of us.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I gained a HNC in Counselling from Telford College in 2004 and gained a COSCA accredited Diploma in Counselling in 2008. 

For the past few years I have worked as a counsellor with Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland, Gay Men's Health and Crossreach Counselling Lothian.  

I have worked with clients whose issues have included depression, anxiety or stress, relationship difficulties, problems with self-esteem, coming to terms with bereavement or loss and coping with changes in circumstances.
