About me

Hi and welcome to my profile.

I am a proactive counsellor who works compassionately to bring you to a place of wellbeing. Together we explore the many parts of the issue and of the self and work on how to bring about the change you are looking for. Counselling creates new connections in the brain, greater emotional resilience and is a reparative experience.

Are you trying to tackle a difficult issue in your life? Are you pretty sure there's a better way but you can't quite grasp it? Looking at the negative and positive sides of human experience empowers you towards a more confident self and equips you with new insights and perspectives.

I see you as the expert in yourself and will work with you to find a way forward which is meaningful for you.

I show the attitudes of warmth, trust and a nonjudgmental style in the counselling relationship and our sessions will be in a comfortable, peaceful counselling studio.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have been working with people's wellbeing for 15 years, as a community mediator, a mental health worker and a tai chi teacher. I have been studying psychology since my degree in 2001, then at Edinburgh University and most recently with a COSCA accredited Counselling Diploma. My method of counselling provides the honesty and openness which allows you to find trust in yourself and the wonderful liberation this brings.

I currently work for CrossReach Counselling and have my own part-time practice. I spent 2 years with LGBTHealth working with clients each of whom had their unique set of issues. I focus principally on the present and the future whilst recognising the influence the past has on us.

I have training in mindfulness which is about using the present as a way to deflect negative or obsessive thinking, but I will always be guided by the direction you want to go in, not by a prescribed set of questions or techniques which must be followed. You are the expert in yourself and you have the capacity to make whatever change is going to best serve you.
