With a base in undergraduate philosophy and theology, a Masters in counselling and a strong organisational ability, I provide added value to individual, group and team. I bring with me a knowledge-base, training experience, learning and with open insight, additional appreciation of the effectiveness of person centred approaches to therapy, learning, communication and life.
 
My orientaion in supervision, through reflective practice, is to offer an opportunity for the individual / group to experience being esteemed and empowered to make their own informed decisions which will add value to their professional developmentand safe client care.
 
 
With professional counselling, psychotherapy, and supervision training and expertise, I am an independent counselling practitioner, MBACP (Accred), and business consultant in the West End of Glasgow.
 
 
My own Masters of Arts in counselling training took place in California, USA in 1991. A programme designed to satisfy requirements for a secure professional foundation in individual, relationship family and child therapy. The course design was person centred / humanistic.
 
 
On return from California, I became a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and fully support our Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling & Psychotherapy. In 2003, I became a registered practicioner of the BACP and also joined the register of the United Kingdom Register of Counsellors for independent counsellors.
 
In 2003, I further advanced my professional learning base by completing a UK acclaimed post-diploma Certificate training in Person Centred Therapy Supervision through PCT Britain at Glasgow. My orientaion in supervision, through reflective practice, is to offer an opportunity for the individual / group to experience being esteemed and empowered to make their own informed decisions which will add value to their professional developmentand safe client care.
 
 
As you can recognise, I hold clearly to the value of ongoing personal and professional development.
