I am an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with significant experience in applied psychology, providing tailored, evidence-based psychological therapies for adults and children with mild to severe psychological difficulties. I work with various types of anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. In addition, I have a particular interest in working with eating related issues, long-term physical health conditions, trauma related issues and children who may be experiencing a range of mental health related difficulties.
I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist currently employed within NHS services within an Adult Psychological Treatment Service. Prior to that I was a Civil Court Solicitor between 1991 and 2006 before deciding to move into the field of Mental Health, completing both my BSc (Hons) in psychology and MSc in Health Psychology at the University of Stirling. Following that I trained to be a Mental Health Nurse, and after working in various posts including a male prison, dementia care home, and adult rehabilitation inpatient services I decided to extend my knowledge and skills and was accepted onto the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University. After qualifying, I spent 18 months working with a semi-rural Community Health Team before moving to my current post.
