Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked as a freelance learning and development consultant specialising in management development , workplace stress and bullying, and was a licensed trainer for the award winning Springboard Womens’ Development Programme for 17 years.  I was also co- founder ,and for 4 years Chair,  of the Women in Management Network ( part of the CMI)in Scotland.

I understand that choosing a Counsellor can be quite tricky, there are a lot of us! You want  to be sure the person you’ve chosen is the right one for you and feel comfortable working with them, so to help you decide I offer the option of a half hour low cost informal consultation

I also offer online appointments via Skype . I'm happy to offer you a 30 minute online meeting for £20, for you to try this method out for yourself.

You can call on 07740678218 or send an email; either way if I’m not immediately available I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
