Experience and approach:

I work collaboratively with clients in psychosexual therapy. I am reflexive to your needs and able to work creatively to address the reasons you are coming for sex therapy. My counselling training began in 2018, concluding with me qualifying in 2020. My course was person-centred and integrative. This included substantial training in humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and pluralistic counselling theories, grief and bereavement, addiction, psychopathology, and group counselling. Throughout my training we worked creatively, embracing collage, art and poetry. I have carried this over to my client work as I offer working creatively to explore mental health. I am the Student Counselling Lead at Edinburgh College, and I run the counselling service. Prior to this I was a full time counsellor at Edinburgh College for two years. I sat on the BACP Spirituality Division Executive Committee for three years, writing for journals and delivering CPD to therapists. I offered counselling at a charity supporting fathers and male care givers during my training and for a year after qualifying. I also provided counselling for a homeless charity for two years.
