I work Monday to Sunday. During the week, I do afternoons and evenings. At the weekend, I see clients in the afternoons.

I trained as a pluralistic counsellor, and so I draw upon a variety of modalities when working with clients. Apart from my formal counselling training, I have a PhD in English literature (a psychoanalytic study of Harold Pinter's plays) and am currently working towards another PhD in philosophy (the theme is regret over major life decisions).  My literature and philosophy background inform my practice, as they help me to understand a client's story and aid them in rewriting it, as well as they provide a a means for me to help the client think more constructively about whatever problems they are tackling. For more details on this, please consult the link to my counselling directory page.

Apart from being an experienced counsellor, I am also one of the most sought after supervisors in the Dundee area. I supervise trainees and qualified counsellors, helping them to understand counselling theory better and how to apply it in practice, and more importantly, how to discover and nurture their own identity as therapists. 

I welcome queries from any client that is 18 years of age or over. While I work with clients from all kinds of backgrounds, there are two groups that I work a lot with: Students/academics and members of the LGBTQ+ community. 

I am available online or face-to-face at my Dundee practice.

The first session is at a 50% discounted rate. Should you wish to continue, the subsequent sessions are at the full rate.

I don't do any formal assessments at the first session, but rather see it as a space for you to begin to articulate what has been troubling you.

Monday-Friday I work from 12pm until 10pm. At the weekend, I work from 12pm until 5pm.

I became a supervisor in 2019 after completing my COSCA training. Since then, I have worked with many trainees and qualified counsellors/therapists helping them to apply the theory to their practice, and more importantly, helping them to discover and nurture their own identity as a therapist.

Since I have a PhD in English literature, and am currently completing another in Philosophy, I often work with supervisees that see their clients at universities or colleges. However, I have worked with supervisees that are at a variety of different placements, and training at different institutions from Abertay university to Fife College, from Grounded Learning to Perth College. Indeed, with regards to trainees, I am one of the most sought after supervisors in the Dundee and Fife area.

I adapt to the supervisee's needs, in terms of how much we need to meet face to face or online. I am happy to do both.

Regarding fees, supervision is £40 for the hour for trainees and £50 per hour for qualified counsellors.

The first meeting will give you an opportunity to ask any questions regarding my practice and my way of working. I do not charge for this initial meeting.
