About me

I have been working with people all my life. I started as a nurse (RGN) then began practising and eventually teaching complementary therapies.  Early in my practice, I noticed people really liked to talk, sometimes it was challenging to fit a massage in! 

So I took the short Counselling Skills course at Aberdeen University – this informed my work from then on – I was so grateful I had done that. I learned that people generally have their own answers when given space. 

After 30 years, I have now come full circle and completed my diploma with the University of the Highlands and Islands. I have since studied with many well-known teachers and I love how the holistic and the science do really sit well together when explored at depth.
