About me
Life can be painful, confusing and challenging at times. I am an experienced and qualified CBT therapist, counsellor, EMDR therapist and meditation tutor. I love being a therapist and love supporting a person through a difficult time. I work privately in Dunfermline, offering a confidential safe space for you to explore issues in your life so you can find some clarity and hope. I use a Pluralistic approach, an integrative style that uses many different techniques to suit the individual. I offer short term or long term therapy to suit the individual. It is a client focused approach where we work together on your goals. I am here to listen to you, respect you and hold your pain for a while. I do not claim to be the expert on your life, I assist you in helping yourself, believing that you can recover. The therapy uses a range of theory and techniques; counselling, PCT, CBT, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused, ACT and Solution focused. Counselling and therapy can help a client with many issues including; addiction, grief/loss, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, post-natal depression, low self-esteem, and many more.
Ethos
I want to support you in finding clarity, inner peace and a sense of calm. When you feel stressed, anxious, depressed, ashamed or overwhelmed - counselling can help. Counselling encourages self-development, self-awareness, self-esteem and forgiveness. I specialise in all-round holistic therapy. I like to treat the person as a whole - mind, body and spirit. I gently guide you on the road to recovery from mental, emotional, physical and spiritual issues or pain. I help you - to help yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced and qualified CBT therapist, EMDR therapist, counsellor, and holistic therapist.
I have qualifications in; CBT, Psychology, EMDR, Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Holistic therapies.
I have been working in my profession for over 14 years. I have specialist qualifications and experience. I have had research published in the counselling field on addiction, grief, trauma and recovery which was inspired by my own personal life experience.
I worked in an addiction hospital and have experience in addiction therapy, teaching and facilitating guided meditation and facilitating grief groups.
I work holistically with clients, combining my knowledge of psychology, counselling and complementary therapies together to offer a person focused and integrative approach. I am a member of the BABCP and EMDR UK. I continue to develop myself personally and professionally. I gained my accreditation with the BABCP.
