I have been working therapeutically with adults, young adults and parents for over 18 years in a diverse range of settings and across all sectors. My  approach to working with people is one of honesty, flexibility, integrity and a real belief that change is possible.

​

My passion for Mental Health was realised in 2006 when I returned from several years of travelling to then be selected to work for NHS Scotland as a Guided Self Help Worker and Trainer, where I started my training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Based approaches. Since then I have gone on to hold several roles within Mental Health as a Teacher, Senior Wellbeing Practitioner, Lead Mental Health practitioner in Cancer support, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapist and Mental Heath and Wellbeing manager for a local Secondary School.

With Undergraduate and Postgraduate qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside being  Registered, listed and certified as a Mindfulness Teacher for adults, children and parents, you can be assured that the theoretical knowledge underpinning my practice is extensive and evidence based.

​

 I am a Registered member of BAMBA (British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches), am registered as a  accredited Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapist with Access MBCT and am a registered Teacher with the Mindfulness in Schools Project 

I have professional indemnity insurance and have an enhanced DBS check
