About me

Making the decision to work on your mental health can feel intimidating, but I'm committed to making counselling accessible and down-to-earth. I have particular experience working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem and LGBTQ+ issues.

My counselling training has primarily focussed on CBT but all treatment is adjusted to the specific needs of my clients and what you would like to achieve, working with you to get things back on track. I have worked with adults of all ages presenting a wide range of mental health conditions and produced effective and lasting results.

I have a particular interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and provide a welcoming non-judgemental LGBTQ+ informed and affirming therapeutic space.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • BSc (Hons) Biology / Psychology, University of Stirling
  • COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate
  • COSCA Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Prior to training as a counsellor, I worked as a Marketing Manager for over 20 years, with 13+ years supporting students in Higher Education in Scotland and the wider UK. 

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.

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.
