About me
Relationship Therapy in Fife.
Perhaps you find yourself caught in the same arguments, struggling to communicate how you feel, feeling unheard or disconnected from someone you love. Maybe you notice patterns of people-pleasing, withdrawing, pushing people away or putting everyone else's needs before your own. You might be questioning a relationship, navigating family difficulties or simply wanting to understand why relationships can feel so hard.
I'm here to help you make sense of these experiences.
My approach is relational, which means I believe the relationship we build together is an important part of the therapeutic process. I'm not someone who simply sits back and observes. I like to be actively involved in the work, bringing my own thoughts, reflections and observations into our conversations. Sometimes that might mean gently challenging something, noticing a pattern or offering a different perspective. I value being genuine and open, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a collaborative process rather than something that is simply done to you.

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.
