My Credentials

Training & Experience

I hold Diplomas in both Person-Centred Counselling and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which complement each other well as effective approaches. I also hold a Masters in Applied Psychology and have lectured for a few years in Counselling and Psychology at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. This gives me a good, in-depth knowledge of mental health and wellbeing. As well as counselling, I have been supporting people as a workplace Coach for 20 years.

I have been assessed and approved for practice by the University of Aberdeen and COSCA (Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland) and am registered with the Professional Standards Authority.
