About 

 

My six-year MA training at the Minster Centre in London was long, deep and intense. Life-changing too. I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, UKCP-accredited (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and BACP-registered (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). And I am now in the final stages of my PhD at the University of Edinburgh. 

​

Each setting I’ve worked in has shaped and continues to shape how I would work with you. Prior to life as a therapist, I worked in fundraising and marketing for national and international charities. Since qualifying over ten years ago, I've worked in private practice alongside a variety of therapy roles in the voluntary sector in London. This has included working in the Grenfell community as a Parent Counsellor to parents with children under five. I've also worked for a bereavement service, an NHS staff counselling service, and I've worked at Mind, the mental health charity. When I moved to Edinburgh, I became the Practice Manager for a counselling service, managing a team of qualified and trainee counsellors. I have also taught research to psychotherapy trainees for several years at the Minster Centre and the University of Edinburgh. 

​

Today, in Edinburgh, I work with clients in private practice and I am finishing my PhD. My research explores the intergenerational trauma of suicide in families. It’s a topic I’m hugely passionate about. I enjoy sharing my work through published articles and through speaking at international conferences.
