I have a Masters Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Strathclyde, as well as Continuing Professional Development in Emotion Focused Therapy for Individuals (Robert Elliott - University of Strathclyde) and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (Rhonda Goldman) - Chicago. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
I bring my whole self to each session with a client. This includes the pragmatic problem solving engineer in me, as well as the deep empathy I have developed over the years through the healing restorative work I've done in collaboration in my own therapy, by gently and compassionately exploring hurts and trauma.
I see self-awareness and self-acceptance as life long growth processes to be approached with gentle curiosity and compassion.

I was first introduced to counselling many years ago, when I felt numb, and I was struggling to concentrate on my work. My employer referred me to a counsellor via their Employee Assistance Programme.
Since then, I've frequently had blocks of counselling to help me with life's struggles, through kind and gentle exploration of the source of my distress.
I've also had longer term therapy to help me explore who I am and what's important to me.
Through this self-development work, I realised I no longer found my work in engineering as fulfilling as it was previously, so I decided to study and train in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I did this at the University of Strathclyde where I gained an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I became a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
