Unfortunately my client list is full at the moment and I  am unable to take on new patients. I will also be taking a sabbatical from July 2023 to summer 2024. My availability status will be updated next year.   

I hope that you are able to find a suitable therapist before too long. 

 I am aware of how hard it can be to take the first step to ask for help  and aim to offer a compassionate, caring and professional  approach to individual clients and to couples. I am always happy to discuss any concerns by telephone before arranging a first appointment. Currently I work in private practice and for a number of Private Health Insurers. I also receive referrals from voluntary organisations, particularly those working with Gender Based Violence and Childhood Sexual Abuse.

I am a BACP Senior Psychotherapist/EMDR Practitioner, with experience of working in Mental Health within the NHS in the field of Complex Trauma (CPTSD),  as a part time lecturer (Glasgow Caledonian University), Senior Tutor on the Diploma in Human Relations and Counselling (Human Development Scotland/ Napier University) and as COSCA registered trainer and Supervisor. My  research interests include sitting on an NHS Research Ethics Committee and carrying out research in the field of counselling and complex psychological trauma.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

I work with professionals from the fields of Social Work, NHS, Art and Music Psychotherapy as well as counselling and psychotherapy. I hope to provide a warm and empathic environment for supervision, where the client's difficulties can be explored and reflected upon. I offer a reduced fee to counselling students in training.
