About me

Hello, I'm Margaret and I am a Person Centred Counsellor and Supervisor providing a counselling service to young adults(16&) , adults and couples. I am accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I feel privileged to work within a profession which focuses on increasing emotional wellbeing and hope that if we work together that this is what you experience.
Although my theoretical influence is mainly Person Centred Approach, I also draw on other trainings which I have completed over the years an example being Emotion Focused Therapy processes and techniques. The additional and ongoing training helps me offer to work in a way which best aligns with your needs.
I have worked creatively with clients and believe that creativity and humour can be important elements of therapy for some, alongside acceptance and compassion.
I'm aware that it can be difficult for some people to make initial contact and I hope that I can ease any difficulties when you contact me and that you will be comfortable speaking with me.
I have a particular interest in working with people who wish to understand themselves better, and improve relationships with self and others, finding clarity and more ease in their lives.
I have worked in several organisations prior to being fully immersed in my private practice. I was the national coordinator for family services and a bereavement counselling team for services throughout Scotland and I led a counselling team within an alcohol misuse service in Glasgow.
All of my roles have influenced my practice and help me to offer a comprehensive service.
In my experience it is the relationship between the client and counsellor which makes the difference in the clients' outcomes, therefore it is very important that you choose the right counsellor for you. If you think I can be of help, please get in touch and we can arrange a free consultation.
