I have over 25 years of experience working in NHS mental health in clinical nursing, education and practice improvement, coaching and leadership roles in a wide and varied career.
Over the years, I’ve worked across Primary and Secondary Care mental health services, nursing and supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges, including the long-term impact of trauma, anxiety and chronic physical health conditions. This work led on to nursing education and to national roles to improve therapeutic care and practice in Scotland’s mental health services, latterly alongside growing my own therapy practice.
My core values- integrity, compassion, justice, collaboration, supporting personal growth, and making a meaningful difference -shaped the way I work as a nurse and therapist and encouraged my move to private therapy practice.
In recognition of my commitment to higher standards of professional, clinical and ethical practice I am a therapist on the BACP and COSCA registers -these are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority which that was set up to improve standards of practice and safety for people engaging in therapy to ensure a better service.
I am also a volunteer therapist with an organisation in England which provides therapy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and for partners of sexual offenders.
My qualifications include:
I undertake regular clinical supervision and CPD -learning is life long.
