About me and my therapy practice
Are you looking for ways of managing a challenging situation in your life, or uncomfortable feelings? Are you struggling with a particular aspect of your life or are things that have happened in the past on your mind and upsetting you in your present?
Are you finding it difficult to manage the daily demands of your life? Do you have a general feeling of being dissatisfied with yourself, others or your life?
The person centred approach underpins my therapeutic work with clients, yet I also bring an integrative approach to my work. This means I draw on different specific therapies and combine these together enabling me to tailor myself to each client's individual needs and unique circumstances.
I offer counselling to people who are looking for ways of managing uncomfortable emotions or difficult situations in their lives, struggling with certain aspects of life, or maybe just all of it ….
Counselling is also for people who wish to attend to their self care and general well being and support their emotional health and promote their personal growth through talking therapy.

I offer supervision in person in Biggar, online via zoom and via the telephone.
About me and my therapy practice
I completed my Certificate in Counselling Supervision validated by COSCA between January 2020 – February 2021 and I am qualified to practice and offer supervision face to face, online and via the telephone.I have experience supervising trainee and fully qualified Person-Centred, Integrative, Pluralistic and CBT Therapists.
I seek to build a strong working alliance where trust can be established to allow for a safe harbor for you as a therapist to come and share how things are “really” going in relation to your therapeutic work. I endeavor to offer an effective supervisory relationship which fosters a non-judgmental approach, offering both support and appropriate challenge.
I aim to provide you with my warmth and respect for you as a fellow therapist, my curiosity for your experiences and process with your clients and how this affects you.
My commitment is to be present where you are, to be an active agent in our supervisory relationship and to draw on my facilitative skills, knowledge and experience to provide an exploratory and educative supervisory relationship which promotes your professional growth and development.
Practice description
I hold senior accreditation status as a counsellor with the BACP adhering to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and as a qualified supervisor I also adhere to and draw on the BACP’s Supervision Competence Framework.
