My interest in understanding the human mind began when I had my own challenges with anxiety which gave me the drive to understand anxiety and what was going on for me.  

I read self-help books, and became more interested in academic research on the topic.   My new found interest in the human mind led me to studying a BSc (Hons) Psychology, Open University, and I went on to study an MSc Counselling at Abertay University, Dundee.

Through a combination of academic work, and personal therapy, I overcame the anxiety that had plagued my life for years.  I reflected on what had worked for me in therapy and I have let this guide me in my work as a therapist.  

Predominantly, I recognise we are all unique therefore what works for one person doesn’t work for the next person, so I feel taking a collaborative approach to therapy gets results.
