I have current availability days on Mondays and Thursdays both afternoons and evenings. 

I work mainly with overcoming anxiety and depression. Clients I have supported in the past have had a variety of reasons for this whether it is low self confidence, relationship difficulties, life changes such as menopause, challenging family dynamics or managing complex trauma (CPTSD) or ADHD.

I use a relationship centred counselling approach as I believe that meaningful change happens within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship—one where you are not judged and feel truly seen and heard.

Getting some insight by talking to a counsellor can be an important first step towards understanding yourself & your relationships. Being trauma informed means I understand the mind, brain, body connection and can work that way if it is right for you. This can be a next step for those who might need to more deeply process traumatic memories. This might be learning mindfulness and grounding tools or processing using an EMDR approach.

Sessions can be online or in-person and flexible to fit your lifestyle. Concessions rates are available for low income clients and begin at £40 for online sessions and £50 in person.

EMDR waiting list currently open with spaces available from Sep 2026. Adult ADHD coaching waiting list also open with spaces available from March 2026.

The first session is normally a free 20 minute consultation so you can get a sense of how we might work together and if you feel comfortable with my approach, This also gives you the chance to ask any questions and for us to agree the practicalities of where, when and how the counselling will be and how we will work. 

I currently have availability Mondays and Thursdays both afternoon and evening appointments in person or online.

1 hour of supervision is £55 and 1.5 hours is £75. 

I can offer concession rates to trainee counsellors throughout the duration of your training. Please let me know if you are a trainee and I would be happy to discuss this.

I am a relational clinical supervisor offering tailored support to help counsellors work safely, ethically, and with confidence. 

I work from an integrative, pluralistic perspective and offer a supportive, collaborative space for counsellors at all stages of their professional journey. 

My work is grounded in the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, allowing us to explore clinical work from multiple perspectives while staying firmly rooted in the therapeutic relationship.

I recognise that counsellors need different levels and types of support at different points in their career, and I tailor my supervision accordingly. Whether you are newly qualified, developing confidence, or an experienced practitioner seeking deeper reflection, I aim to encourage, support, and gently challenge in ways that foster growth, skill development, and self-awareness.

My approach is both ethically robust and relationally attuned, supporting you to work safely, thoughtfully, and with integrity. Supervision with me may at times include personal support where this is relevant to your professional practice, always held within clear boundaries and ethical awareness. 

My goal is to help you develop the confidence to trust yourself, your practice, and your clinical judgement.

I work online or in-person and have my own practice in the centre of Kilmarnock. There is free parking and it is close to the bus station and train station.

Normally the first session is a free 20 minute online supervision consultation. This would include time for introductions, questions and to get a sense of how we might work together.
