I see clients during the day on Tuesdays as well as online on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  I do not work evenings or weekend days.  

I have noticed over the years that most of my clients come to me experiencing confusion and inner conflict. I see my role as helping them find clarity and inner peace through non-judgmental, empathic listening combined with the use of tools such as drawing, guided visualisation and EFT where appropriate. I work in a relational way which includes noticing and being present to the body as well as the mind.  My training was transpersonal, so I can work with a client's spiritual life if they wish to do so.  

I have over fifteen years' experience working with a broad range of issues.  As well as my private practice,  I am also a qualified and experienced supervisor, having worked with both qualified and trainee therapists in individual and group settings.  I am also on the core supervision team of CRUSE Scotland. 

This session is about us meeting and seeing if we are a good fit.  I use the session to take a brief history of the client, so it is more structured than subsequent sessions when I will work with whatever the client presents with on the day.  I leave 10 minutes at the end of the session to check in with how the client feels about it and whether they would like to continue.  If they do, we will contract for 4-6 weekly sessions and follow this with a review to see where they are then.

My hours in Edinburgh are during the day on Fridays

I have over 10 years' experience working with a broad range of issues (see below).  I am also a qualified and experienced supervisor, having worked with both qualified and trainee therapists, in individual and group settings, and am a member of the core supervision team at CRUSE Scotland.  

My first session is about us meeting and having a sense of whether we are a good fit and would be able to work well together.  In order to know this for myself, I use this session to take a history of my client, so this session is much more structured than any subsequent sessions, where I will be present to what the client brings on the day.  I allow ten minutes at the end of the session to see how it was for the client and what they would like to do.  If they would like to continue, we contract for 4-6 sessions on a weekly basis and then follow this with a review to see where the client is then.   

I work in a relational and collaborative way with my supervisees.  My intention is to support my supervisees to do their best work with their clients and I feel their self care is of primary importance.  

I completed my diploma in counselling supervision (accredited by the European Centre for Psychotherapeutic Studies) in March 2014.  Since then I have worked with individual supervisees, both trainee and qualified, and also groups.  I am presently seeing supervisees privately and am also on the core supervision team of CRUSE Scotland.
