About me and my therapy practice
Welcome! I work alongside clients exploring and unpacking the challenges that are present in their lives. Through discussion and creating a positive relationship where clients feel safe, valued and listened to they are supported in making the necessary changes in their life.
I have experience working with complex trauma, gender identity specifically Trans clients and specialise in fertility treatment. I work to empower the client to feel safe, stabilised, to enable them to explore and process the issues and finally look to the future to put the building blocks in place.
I have worked for NHS for nearly 15yrs, offer SupervisIon specifically to school counsellors and now manage the fertility counselling service at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Prior to this I worked for several charity and voluntary organisations.
I am trained in EMDR and have recently completed part one of Emotion Focussed therapy so I am an Emotion Focussed therapy friendly Supervisor. I enjoy private practice offering short term counselling EAP work and longer term counselling to private clients.

About me and my therapy practice
I have thoroughly enjoyed my 8 years working as a Supervisor, balancing the responsibilities of the supervisee, their clients and any organisational responsibilities. I am trained in EMDR, couples therapy and have trained to level one in Emotion Freedom Therapy so am an EFT friendly Supervisor! I firmly believe that through offering the core conditions using the person centred approach I am able to support and empower supervisees in making ethical decisions and being morally responsible. I have worked offering group supervision to charities, statutory organisations and within the NHS. I offer individual supervision to trainee counsellors, counselling psychologists and counsellors with varied experiences. I specialise in working with school counsellors having worked for Education services for 7 years in a previous role. I enjoy the diversity of working with mental health practitioners and those involved in the helping professions like Social Workers, Teachers and Nurses.
