ABOUT ME

I am a highly qualified Senior Psychotherapist with wide range of experience in psychotherapy and counselling techniques attained over 15+ years.

I am accredited with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), in addition to being a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).

As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I have worked for several well-being focused organisations including: The Priory Group, Freedom from Torture, as well as several GP Surgeries and Trauma Centres. These positions have given me the opportunity to support many clients suffering from the effects of stress, anxiety, depression, through to severe trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

I have also been employed with several Employee Assistance Programmes, which enable staff to function at an optimal level in the workplace, fostering motivation and interpersonal effectiveness, thus reducing absences.

I am trained in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), while also being a Relationship Counsellor and ASSIST Trained. Moreover, I have gained BUPA, AVIVA, AXA PPP and CIGNA approval.

Through my senior accreditation with BABCP I carry out supervision for counselling psychologists, counsellors and for trainees. I currently supervise students on the Dr Psych in Counselling Psychology Course at Glasgow Caledonian University and Centre of Therapy, Glasgow. I also supervise self-help groups and volunteers from charity organisations.
