About me

As a psychodynamic therapist I sit with you and we look and think about your life. We will look at your past, the relationships that formed the early part of your life. This is often revealing in understanding the parts of ourselves that we might be unaware of. 

When we gain insight into our past, we can better understand our current life. I will listen carefully to your story and notice patterns that may not have been noticed. In therapy we can break cycles of behaviour by changing our perspective. I will assist you in making links between events in your life and the feelings and emotions that may be connected. 

I offer therapy in a traditional private therapy room in Strathaven or in Coatbridge but also by walk and talk therapy. Where we walk for 50 minutes in nature, where we can feel grounded and calmed by the environment around us. 

Whether in a room or out in nature, my aim is to make whatever you are facing more manageable.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
