I am a member of BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), my practice is guided by their code of ethics and professional standards.
I have been a coach for well over 20 years and I’m accredited Coach with the AOEC (Association of Executive Coaches). I actively involved in a range of CPD and review my approach regularly with a supervisor.
What interests do you have?
Beyond the world of work, I enjoy the simplicity of spending time with my family and friends. I’m a keen rugby supporter, I love canoeing, camping, skiing and being outdoors.

How often would we meet and where?
A frequently used coaching package contains 8, one-hour sessions. We’ll create a schedule to pace the work and often these hours will be used over several months. I coach via zoom, Ms teams and, if you’re local to Edinburgh, in my practice room in the west end of the city, at Walker Street.
How much does coaching cost?
I have a range of session rates to offer my services at a price suited to my client’s income and whether their organisation is supporting the work. We can discuss this to find a rate to work for us both when we have our chemistry call.
How often would we meet and where?
I often work with clients weekly or fortnightly, we’ll decide this together. I work from the and friendly surroundings of Dialogue and Space, on Albion Road – https://www.dialogueandspace.co.uk/ I prefer in person client work and will use zoom and other technologies where this isn’t possible.
How many sessions and what does it cost?
This is a question without a clear answer, there is no fixed schedule for therapy and no usual length of time. Once we get to know each other we will both be clearer about this
I have a range of session rates from £6o – £110 per hour. This enables me to offer my services at a price suited to my client’s income. We will discuss this when we meet.
