About me
I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor with over 18 years experience. I have worked in various settings in my career.
I offer private therapy online for couples counselling, individuals, young people and group therapy.
I have extensive experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression and low self esteem.
I work in a collaborative way and at the pace of the client. I offer a confidential non-judgemental space to explore the reasons that have brought you to counselling.
I see counselling as the piecing together of a jigsaw. You bring the pieces and by talking about your life, you are building the picture. I can help by noticing things that you may not have noticed and linking things to make sense of what you are feeling. When the picture is complete you will see your own way forward. Ultimately you are the only person who has lived your life so you will have your own answers.
I am an experienced supervisor and have availability at the moment
I specialise in working with people who have been negatively affected by emotional/psychological abuse. I see clients on a 1 to 1 basis and I also run a group for people wanting extra support after being in an abusive relationship.
I place huge importance on the relationship between counsellor and client and as such I work within the ethical framework of BACP. I am a registered member of BACP. I am fully insured and hold an Enhanced Disclosure Scotland Certificate for working with adults and children.
I offer Zoom or Teams online sessions

Member organisations
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.
