About me
I am a Person Centered Counsellor with experience in CBT and pluralistic approaches and work in an eclectic way that best suits my clients. I have experience of working with all age groups with a wide range of issues. Many focusing on living with addiction whether your own or someone else's.
Our everyday lives and experiences (past and present) can have such an impact on our mental health, and it is helpful to be able to say what's on our mind out loud in a safe and non-judgemental environment. To be able to explore the feelings that are deep inside and to come to some understanding of what that means for you.
I am an associate member of Poppins Therapy Centre in Crieff. You can read more about what we do at www.poppinstherapycentre.co.uk
I offer a warm welcome to our counselling rooms here in Crieff, either face to face or online, and ensure that you have a safe and confidential space to take time to explore how you see your world.
If you would like to have a chat about counselling sessions give me a call on 07763842524 or email me.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
