Whether it is brief solution-focused counselling or more in-depth psychotherapy, my extensive training and experience as a practitioner since 1992 enables me to effectively support people with a wide range of life difficulties and struggles, within my commitment to the therapeutic relationship.
I am an accredited and registered counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor, and (since 1998) a trainer of therapists.
From 1995 to 2015 I was a staff therapist at Wellspring, Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Edinburgh, and am now only in private practice working online in Zoom.
