About me
I work as a person-centred counsellor with adults with a wide range of issues. Within an accepting and non-judgemental environment clients are encouraged to speak openly about their emotions and explore issues at their own pace. My belief is that by giving you the space and time to put into words how you feel some sense can be made of feelings in the here and now whilst acknowledging the possible impact of early life experiences. The gentle and empathic nature of the therapeutic alliance can facilitate a deeper understanding and growing sense of what is right for you in your own particular circumstances. In this way the client's own inner resources and potential can be realised and new possibilities can emerge.

BSc Hons Psychology Edinburgh University

I have been in private practise for over six years. I also work for 3 local charities - Crossreach, CLAN and MND Scotland
I am a member of BPS (British Psychological Society) and a Registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
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.
