ABOUT ME
I started training as a counsellor in 1998 following 3 years experience as a volunteer on a telephone helpline.
My first counselling qualification (1998-2000) was integrative in orientation (psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioural). I subsequently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling at the University of Strathclyde (2000-2002), where I specialised in person-centred therapy, followed by a Master's degree in Counselling at the same institution (2011). I also hold a Certificate in Counselling Supervision from PCT Britain (2006).
My approach to therapy is based on contemporary person-centred theory (including focusing and Pre-therapy) and informed by phenomenology, existentialism, and some psychodynamic concepts.
I currently work as a Teaching Fellow in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh, training students at Certificate, Diploma and Masters level. Prior to joining the University I managed a national mental health project for adult survivors of child sexual abuse (2005-2008) and a counselling service offering one-to-one and couple counselling (1996-2005).
I am happy to work with almost any issue but I have particular expertise in working with trauma and sexuality and am very experienced in working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender clients and with survivors of child sexual abuse.
