About me

I work with individuals on a wide range of issues, and have a particular interest in working with traumatic events, whether in childhood or adulthood. I also can help with health challenges, family relationships, gender issues, and work-related stress. Counselling can be short term (2-8 sessions) or longer term. Please call, text or email for an initial appointment. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Postgrad Diploma in Counselling, University of Edinburgh 2002 (psychodynamic and person centred). COSCA Accredited Counsellor and Accredited Trainer.
I have further training in working with trauma (Sensorimotor and CRM). I have worked in local counselling agencies in central Scotland for many years, as a counsellor and manager. I also train and supervise other counsellors.
