​Hi and welcome to my website, I am a qualified Integrative Psychosynthesis Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP, PGDip). I have over 26 years combined experience in counselling and empowerment work. 

I offer 6 session solution focused therapy, with practical techniques helping find your way through difficulties, enhancing well being.  

I have run my private counselling practice for 9 years, working in London, Norfolk, internationally online and now in my homeland of Scotland.

I've also worked as short term counsellor for the Sugarman Health and Wellbeing, Dover Counselling Centre, Empathy Counselling Service, and the UK charities Carers Trust and Teens and Toddlers.  ​  

In addition to my counselling work I run Empowerment Courses. My counselling and empowerment work has given me great insight into the inner strength we all possess and how this strength and power becomes a wonderful guide for life and 

​Issues covered include stress, anxiety, self esteem, change, loss, grief and potential.
Background and values 
​In addition to private practice, I have supported individuals in empowerment networks across the UK, including Macmillan Cancer Support.

I've held strategic roles for government agencies and private business including the National Audit Office, construction, the arts and entertainment. 

My professional experience has given me an understanding of organisational psychology, dynamics and issues common to the workplace and modern life. Such as, stress, time constraint, pressure and the need for well being at a personal, inter-personal and organisational level. 

I work with men and women of 16 years and above, of various ages and backgrounds. My values focus on supporting people to work with challenges and choices, so they feel in control of life now and in the future. ​I bring a warmth and professionalism to my work.
