About me

I have been in private practice since 2006, working with private clients as well as those referred to me by Employers, Insurance companies, Employee Assistance Providers, and schools. I work with individuals: adults of all ages, and young people over the age of 12.


My training and experience as an Integrative Counsellor enables me to draw on insights and techniques from different mainstream therapies - particularly person centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This helps me respond flexibly to each client's way of thinking, feeling and behaving, and offer them the therapeutic style which suits them best.


During my years as a counsellor I have learned to value and celebrate the fact that everyone has unique experiences and strengths. I am excited by the process of learning about each new client, and working with them to discover their ability to change, heal, and grow in positive ways.


I see clients face to face in my home near Wigtown, Newton Stewart. I also work online using either Skype or Facetime, depending on which one my client is most comfortable with.
