About me

As a fully qualified and experienced individual, couples, sex therapist and Supervisor, I provide a safe and supportive environment to work collaboratively with clients and students. I am passionate about my work and really enjoy building relationships with clients that can help them bring about positive change. I am able to tailor my approach for different clients using Person-Centred, Emotions Focused, Psychodynamic, Transpersonal and CBT models of therapy. I began working with Cruse Scotland 15 years ago and decided to carry on my studies and took a Post Graduate Counselling Diploma at Strathclyde University in 2007. I have worked in many different settings including Falkirk Association for Mental Health for 12 years, Strathcarron Hospice, Strathclyde University’s Counselling Research Unit, Safe Space and Relationship Scotland.

I have also had extensive training in EFT Emotion Focused Therapy – which believes that emotions are an important guide to help us make good decisions. It is a research-based therapy and is effective in helping clients to make changes and improve their wellbeing. I work in a very collaborative way with my clients, allowing them to guide the therapy and work towards their goals.

I have been working and studying with Relationship Scotland and have been awarded their accredited Diploma in Sex & Relationship Therapy. I really enjoy working with couples and use Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy model which uses attachment theory as its basis.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and work within their Ethical Framework. I have regular supervision of my work and attend CPD events to keep me up to date with new research and findings.

I am also a Yoga teacher and enjoy the balance of body work with my Private Therapy Practice.
