My Approach

I offer a warm, caring, non-judgemental, confidential space in which you can talk about the issues that are affecting you. Because it is important to find the right therapist for you, I offer a first free meeting to see whether I am the right therapist for you.

About Me

I am a Core Process Psychotherapist with an MA in Mindfulness Based Psychotherapeutic Practice. I work in Helensburgh, Scotland, and online.

  • Individuals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I am interested in how we can learn to fully live our old age despite the many issues that can arise, in the words of Connie Zweig, how we move from 'role to soul.' In particular, I am interested in how we deal with bereavement and mortality.
Before psychotherapy, I worked as a Consultant Paediatrician, including in Neonatology, and have had extensive post-graduate training in pre-and perinatal psychotherapy, which provides a more holistic explanation of this time of life. I work with those experiencing difficulties related to pregnancy and childbirth. I am an APPPAH (Association of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health) certified Pre and Perinatal Educator (PPNE) and an accredited Foundation for Infant Loss practitioner.
I have a particular interest in the different ways that spirituality expresses itself in our lives, whether part of a recognised tradition or not. I have a long standing Buddhist practice, am a trained Ignatian Spiritual Director, have a 1st class degree in Humanities and Religious Studies and have an interest in using arts and creativity in exploring our beliefs. I have a particular interest in Spiritual Crisis/Emergency and spiritual experiences that can be destabilising.
