Welcome
... and thank you for visiting I am a registered and senior accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and am also a member of COSCA - Scotland's professional body for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have almost thirty years experience of offering individual and group support in varied settings, including private practice, palliative care, voluntary organisations, education, and NHS primary care. I am also a supervisor, mentor, and occasional trainer of counsellors, counselling students, and health & social care staff. At the core of my practice is the approach initiated by the American psychologist Carl Rogers (1902-1987), since developed by many other practitioners and theorists, and now often referred to as Person-centred and Experiential Therapy (PCE). For me, this approach implies pluralistic, spiritual, relational understandings of human experience. I am also informed by Psychodynamic theories, insights of behavioural science, and trauma-informed approaches. I am interested in the growing understanding of human neurodiversity, and also in how and when therapy can engage with issues of power and politics, privilege and deprivation. We all exist within a world of difference and diversity and I aspire to work in ways that include and welcome all individuals; acknowledging and engaging with differences in ethnicity, gender, social class, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or age.
