ABOUT ME

I've been a counsellor and psychotherapist since 2016, and a clinical supervisor since 2020.  At different times I've provided therapy in the private sector, the NHS, and the third sector. I moved to Orkney in September 2021, and here I work in private practice, meeting people in person locally, and worldwide online via Zoom.

I volunteer as Vice Chair of Relationships Scotland Orkney and a trustee of The Pier Arts Centre.  When I'm not working, I might be found at my weaving loom.

Psychotherapy is my third career: I was formerly a technical translator for the British Army in Germany, and then a finance and operations professional in the venture capital and start-up sector in Cambridge.

TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling from The Minster Centre in London, and a Certificate in Supervision from Relational Change.  

In 2024 I've been studying with the Foundation for Infant Loss to support people who've experienced the loss of a baby or a pregnancy, and  I'm learning with Home Hospice Association on their Infant & Pregnancy Loss Support Certificate programme.

In academic year 2024-25, I'll be taking the Advanced Diploma in Relationship and Psychosexual Therapy with NAOS Institute, and I plan to start offering couples and relationship counselling in 2025.

I’m a Practitioner Member of COSCA, a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, and an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.  I adhere to the COSCA Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice, the BACP Ethical Framework and the NCPS Code of Ethical Practice.
