About me

We can all find ourselves faced with challenges in life which at times can begin to feel completely overwhelming. If you feel it may be useful to talk to someone outside of your circle of family and friends, it may be helpful to talk with a professional counsellor.

I am a qualified counsellor registered with The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work from my private practice in Biggar, South Lanarkshire.

If you would like to enquire about counselling and whether it is the best form of support for yourself at this time, you can contact me either by mobile or by email. We can arrange an initial session to discuss both the support I can offer and to identify the concerns you feel you would like to address.

If you would like to continue with counselling, we would then agree a time to meet weekly for a one hour session. The length of time we work together can be agreed between ourselves.
