Profile
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor who utilises the person-centred approach. I have worked in the fields of mental health and addictions for 11 years and have an academic background in Psychology.
I see clients privately in the village of Kilbarchan and central Paisley. I also manage a community project and charity in Paisley offering a variety of therapeutic group-work, individual support, and counselling.
I can work with individuals and couples on a short or longer term basis and have experience with a wide range of issues including: depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress, addiction(s) including gambling, bereavement, relationship and family problems, anger management, loss of confidence, abuse (childhood and gender based), self harm and work related issues. I aim to foster a relaxed and sensitive environment where you will be listened to with respect and acceptance.
I can offer daytime, early evening and some weekend appointments in Kilbarchan where there is ample free parking as well as a comfortable waiting area. I can also offer some daytime and early evening appointments in Paisley where there is also free nearby parking. I am a registered member with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their ethical framework.

Fees
I offer an initial free 30 - 40 minute session to allow us the opportunity to meet up and discuss your needs. There is no obligation for you to continue attending should you not feel comfortable in doing so. It is important to me that you find the right counsellor.
The cost of each session is £35 for individuals and £50 for couples. Missed appointments and those cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to paying the full session fee.
