Why Should You Work with Me?

I am a full member of The National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP) and hold a higher diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT®) from the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy which is approved by the British Psychological Society.

Designing courses that translate research into practice is what I do. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in education for over 20 years, running my own training and education consultancy since 2010. During that time I trained over 12,000 teachers in all aspects of literacy across Scotland through my courses Reflective Reading, Phonics Forever and The Story Kitchen.

I have presented at researchED, ScotED, Education Scotland’s SLF, The Reading Reform Foundation Conference (RRF), various Head Teacher Conferences, and have provided training for SALT (The Scottish Association of Language Teachers), Storlann’s Gaelic Teachers’ Conference, SCIS (The Scottish Council of Independent Schools) and The School Library Association (SLA).

I am also an author and award-winning publisher. I combine private practice with online stress management training and wellness webinars for schools, charities and workplaces.
