About me
I am a person centred counsellor and supervisor with experience of working in various settings and with a variety of issues.
I am down to earth and offer a genuine, non judgemental space where clients can explore their experience and make sense of their world.
I enjoy working with various issues and I have a special interest in trauma and how that can impact us throughout our lives.
I also enjoy working with anxiety, stress and depression and understand the challenges these experiences can create in day to day life.
I have a lot of experience working with long term mental health issues, particularly experiences such as psychosis and related issues such as paranoia, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, hearing voices and self harm.
I believe that counselling should be accessible to people whatever their financial situation so I offer a sliding scale on my fees which I’m happy to discuss.
I offer face to face, telephone and video call sessions.
I can offer an initial 20 minute telephone or video call meeting at no cost which will give you a chance to decide whether I'm the right person for you at this time.
if we have face to face sessions you’ll meet Archie who is my toy poodle. He’s been coming to work since he was 15 weeks and is very well behaved.
Training, qualifications & experience
I was awarded my Post Grad Diploma in Person Centred Counselling in 2010 and I completed my counselling supervisor training in 2015, both at Strathclyde University.
I completed my MSc in 2015
I have completed advanced professional training on a wide variety of issues.
I also deliver training.
