Counselling aims to empower you to make constructive choices and take control of your life. Person-centred counselling is a way of sorting things out from the inside and making changes that last. By helping you listen more closely to yourself, you learn to how to make decisions more suited to the future you seek.

You can use counselling for all sorts of issues, for example trouble with alcohol, bereavement, relationship difficulties, harassment at work, sexual abuse, breakup, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or decision-making. Dealing with ‘unwanted habits’ of whatever kind can be a large part of counselling. Counselling can also be useful in helping us to understand the periods of change that we experience so frequently in our fast-moving world.

I started counselling in 1996 when I worked for Breakthrough for Women, a counselling and information project run by Glasgow City Council for women who had been sexually abused. Since then, I’ve worked in a busy GP practice in the NHS, at Napiers Herbal Healthcare, with PCT Glasgow, in the Consulting Rooms in Glasgow City Centre, in a chiropractors, at the Southside Counselling and Therapy Centre and now at the quiet times in Hot Yoga in Battlefield Glasgow and in a small room at Whitehouse Village hall near Tarbert Argyll. 

I gained a Diploma in Counselling (person-centred) from the University of Strathclyde in 1999. I was accredited with BACP for a number of years but it lapsed when I took a couple of years out to pursue other work. Back in counselling, I still work to the BACP code of ethics and standards. In addition to this, I am a published author and now live in Kintyre on the West Coast of Scotland. I have two adult children.

I offer person-centred counselling for any issue you choose to bring, but also have experience and knowledge of a range of psychological theories and practices. I've spent many years helping people who have suffered sexual abuse or rape, but have worked with other kinds of trauma too. I also have a special interest in neurodiversity.

I offer a FREE 15 minute telephone consultation so you can ask questions and see if it feels right for you.
