As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) (BABCP) and Person-Centred Experiential Counsellor (BACP) I have more than 20 years’ experience helping people find their way through issues such as anxiety, depression, disturbing memories, posttraumatic stress, relationship issues, anger and despair, low self-esteem, and many more. I offer a compassionate, caring, confidential non-judgemental service that respects your individual needs, preferences and choices. Although our work may be challenging at times, it can really make a difference.
I have worked in drug and alcohol services, with eating issues, and with other complex mental health problems, in the private as well as the public sector. I also train and supervise therapists and was a Senior Teaching Fellow at Warwick University for a number of years. For the past 10 years I’ve been a psychological therapist in the NHS, primarily using CBT and Person-Centred approaches though also integrating other approaches in which I have had further training (e.g. EMDR, NLP, Schema work etc.), so I can offer different ways of working together to suit your needs at this time. I work with adults of 18 and over.

I came to work in therapy as a second career in the late 1990's, qualifying as a supervisor in 2003, and have worked in private practice, EAP and the NHS since then, including work as a tutor for online supervision training. I offer an integrative approach to supervision, though also specialist CBT or Person-Centred approaches when required.
Currently I work in the NHS Adult Mental Health Psychology department in Edinburgh as a supervisor, alongside private online work. In the past I have taught at Warwick and Edinburgh Universities, worked in English IAPT services and am an accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist (BABCP) and person-centred experiential therapist (BACP). I am trained in EMDR and in other approaches such as NLP and schema work. I have a masters in counselling and supervision, and a doctorate in education.
