COUNSELLING for Individuals and Couples
Scottish Borders - Face to Face and Online

​

Background

I've worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist in the NHS, private practice, and trauma recovery services for over ten years. I trained as a counsellor after working in mental health and youth work and prior to that had trained and worked in more body centred therapy

For as long as I can remember and well before entering any formal training in therapeutic work over 30 years ago, I was naturally drawn to understanding who I was, what made me tick and what my life experience meant as it unfolded 

I am experienced in working with people who have undergone trauma of most kinds including sexual violence and domestic abuse.  

I have a background in body work :

 - Neo Reichian Postural Integration /Therapeutic Massage ITEC,

 - Dance/Drama including therapy work (BA Hons)

Trauma informed psychotherapy :

 - I have experience in trauma recovery using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and TRE
