Email meAbout me
Based in Skelmorlie, I run a private one-to-one counselling service for Adults and Young People. I am highly experienced in working with clients in a wide variety of settings, GP practices, Health centres, EAP and community bases.
- I particularly specialise in working with clients experiencing Generalised Anxiety, Panic attacks, Relationshop issues Low Self esteem, Depression, Grief and Loss.
I work hard with my clients to gain trust and build a relationship in which they can feel confident enough to explore their issues through to developing strategies that can help support them going forward with their lives.
Sessions last up to 60 minutes and I try to be flexible around times for those whose family or work commitment make this difficult.
Sessions are also available by telephone or via Skype.
