Profile

I see individual adults for short or long term counselling or psychotherapy -  depending on what the client is seeking.  My background is in education, social services and the NHS.  Usually, clients will see me once a week but I am quite flexible and some long term clients decide they wish to come only once a month or so.  Many clients have issues that can be helped in 6 to 10 sessions - we will discuss this at the first, assessment session.  Other clients have more complex issues and want to leave the number of sessions open at the start.  There are a small number of sessions outwith working hours.  There is more information on my website.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I am an accreditated senior therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.  I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy - which means I can use different ways of working with you depending on what you need.  I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist in West Lothian for the last 15 years.  Much of my work is with companies who want to offer their employees time limited counselling although I also have clients who have self-referred.  I have had clients come from government agencies, local authorities and private companies.  They have a variety of backgrounds - shop assistant, nurse, driver, prison officer, accountant, social worker, lecturer, various factory workers are some examples.
