About me
I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist offering a flexible therapeutic approach encompassing principles of cognitive behavioural therapy and person-centred therapy. I am able to support people with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, addictions, career stress, bereavement, chronic health conditions, compulsions and relationship problems.
I have a special interest in trauma and the ways in which it can shape us throughout our lives, and impact our wellbeing, relationships and families. I am also interested in women's mental health issues including maternal psychology, birth trauma and relational abuse.
I offer highly individualised therapy designed collaboratively with you to fit with your needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches and years of clinical experience.
My diverse career background includes working in legal, corporate, social care, health care and educational settings. I have also lived and worked overseas for a number of years. I have a knowledgeable and open-minded approach to people of all backgrounds.
If you feel that you might have particular needs for your psychological therapy, I will be pleased to discuss these with you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been awarded the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology (DPsych) from Glasgow Caledonian University and is both a chartered Counselling Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and an LL.b. (Hons) in Scots Law.
Member organisations

Further information
I recognise that speaking to a psychologist and starting therapy can feel anxiety provoking for almost everyone. I am very approachable and willing to talk through any initial nerves or concerns.
