I am an Occupational Therapist specialising in mental health. I have worked in this field for over 40 years. I provide compassionate expert guidance and support for those struggling with any form of mental issues.
I was part of the initial staff team who formulated the treatment programmes for the Priory Hospital in Glasgow. I also worked for some years in a specialised eating disorders unit.
I use various therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and relaxation techniques.
I also offer couples counselling to help improve and strengthen relationships.
I have a wealth of experience and offer a safe relaxing environment to those who require my services.
After a long and happy marriage I was widowed some years ago and now live with my therapet Molly who also works with me.
Molly is my trusted companion. She's a 9 year old Cockapoo who is a Therapet. She's particularly good at reducing anxiety and works with me most of the time. She has ample experience as a Therapet and has worked in lots of different environments
I work with CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which is a common type of therapy that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety.
Relationships are an important part of our lives, but they can also be challenging. I am here to help you and your partner improve communication, build intimacy, and strengthen your relationship.
Nurturing self-esteem fosters a positive outlook, strengthens emotional health, and lays the foundation for a fulfilling, purpose-driven life
Recognising and addressing eating disorders is crucial because they can have life-changing consequences, impact all ages and body types, and deeply affect a person's self-worth, relationships, and daily life. Early support and treatment can improve recovery chances and help restore balanced health and a positive self-view and success in all areas of your life.
I worked in a specialist eating disorders unit for some years so have a lot of experience in this field.
Depression and low mood are treatable and getting help can significantly improve symptoms and outcomes. I can help you understand your feelings and develop coping strategies to achieve a much better quality of life.
I have both personal and professional experience of bereavement. The pain of loss and grieving can feel overwhelming and often made worse by others' lack of understanding.
I understand the complexities of the grieving process and the personal toll this can take.
