About me

I recognise that thinking about seeing a Counsellor can be daunting.  However there are times in most of our lives when we experience distressing, sometimes tragic events and feelings which seem to have no end or solution in sight.  During such times we may realise that we could benefit from support.  Counselling is a process by which you access a confidential and supportive setting.  This private and exclusive space allows you the freedom to be yourself. As I am an Integrative Psychotherapist I can offer different models of therapy.

For example, I offer Person Centred counselling which gives you the opportunity to explore different ways of looking at your life and your situation, assisting you to move towards finding your own direction. I work with compassion and sensitivity respecting your autonomy and individual perspectives and values.

With many years practicing as an Integrative Counsellor I work within the areas of Dumbarton and Helensburgh.   My experience includes working with young people and adults, including personnel in the Security Forces. I have worked with Agencies such as Crisis, Stepping Stones, Addictions, Terence Higgins Trust, as well as Charities and in Private Practice.

The list at the bottom of the page will show the areas of counselling I work in, some of which include: Working with PTSD and Trauma using models of therapy to suit the individual, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

I also work with Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Addictions, Bereavement, Career coaching, Behaviour Change and Facilitating your Potential in your life in the areas you desire to make changes in.

To Couples:  Relationships of all kinds can undergo many trials and pressures due to work, children, family, relationship issues, and many more stresses of daily living.  I can offer couples the space to work through areas which have become too much for them to deal with by themselves.  Couple work has proved very beneficial for many clients. 

It is important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor, therefore at the first appointment we can explore the situation together and you will have the time you need to consider ongoing therapy with me if you so wish.

For Counsellors: I offer Supervision £50 per 1 hour session.
