Offering Person-Centred Counselling in South Ayrshire, particularly serving Troon, Prestwick, Ayr, Alloway, Coylton, Dalrymple, Maybole, Girvan, Ballantrae and Stranraer.

Hello, and thanks for looking in.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, I'm working with clients by video or phone call only at the moment. If you'd like to know more about how that works, or about anything you read here, phone calls, text messages and emails will all get through to me.




As you're visiting this site it's probable that you or someone you care about is feeling distressed, overwhelmed or even hopeless, and you're searching for support. Perhaps you already know about the particular type of help a counsellor can provide and the sorts of change that counselling can help foster - you might perhaps know that there are many different reasons for people deciding to try counselling, and you might have some idea about what happens during a therapy session. But if counselling is new for you and you'd like to find out more, having chosen to visit this site was a good way to start.

Why do people choose counselling?
People who make the choice to work with a counsellor sometimes have specific issues they'd like to address. But many are 'just' feeling uneasy, experiencing anything from an indistinct but persistent feeling that something in life is out of alignment, right through to deep-seated and debilitating distress.

Clients have chosen to work with me for many different reasons:

  • SUPPORT during inevitable but difficult life processes or transitions
  • HEALING following trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, relationship breakdown, redundancy, recent or historical abuse
  • RECOVERY from 'stress', 'anxiety', 'depression' or 'panic attacks'
  • TO BUILD CONFIDENCE through increased self-awareness and self-empowerment
  • TO GAIN SELF UNDERSTANDING in relation to substance misuse or 'self-destructive behaviours'
  • HELP WITH DEVELOPING NEW STRATEGIES for living with conflict at work, with caring responsibilities or with poor health



    • I'm passionately committed to offering my clients understanding within a genuine, non-judgmental and confidential relationship in a physically and emotionally safe place. Clients sometimes work with me on an open-ended basis, and sometimes for an agreed number of sessions, but clients are always in total control of the direction and duration of their therapy.

    I practice in Alloway, close to the A77 Prestwick/Ayr By-Pass. This makes it particularly easy for me to be reached by people living in Troon, Prestwick, Ayr, Alloway, Coylton, Dalrymple, Maybole, Maidens, Turnberry, Girvan, Ballantrae and Stranraer.

    You're warmly invited to browse this website, and to phone , text or email if you would like to take the next step and begin exploring whether a counselling relationship with me might feel right for you.
