My lifelong interest in mental and emotional well-being led me to qualify as a psychotherapist and I completed my Diploma in Person-centred and Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh. 

I am a certified complex trauma counsellor (Trauma Informed Stabilisation Training with Dr Janina Fisher), and have also undertaken several professional trainings on mindfulness and somatic therapy.

My belief in the importance of beginnings and relationships led me to also train as a Brazelton and as a Bayley practitioner so that I could work with wee ones and their families and support secure attachments. I have recently undergone further training with the Tavistock Institute on perinatal/antenatal parent and infant mental health.

Confidentiality, ethical practice and transparency are the foundations of my practice. I regularly meet with my clinical supervisor - a requirement for ensuring good ethical practice - however that is also a confidential space and details are anonymised.

On my journey of discovering I have learnt that it is truly “the relationship which heals” (Yalom) and I hope to help my clients find healing first within themselves so that they may enjoy more secure connections with others in their lives. I have a particular interest in childhood and complex trauma.

I have two daughters (and four cats!) and have learnt along the way through personal losses and joys that life happens to us all.
