Hello
and
Welcome
​
Bio
Personal/Spiritual Development Consulting
I am a mentor, spiritual director, facilitator, advocate, leader, trainer and speaker.  I consider all people to be my teachers. I take a person centred approach to therapeutic work and so I suggest tools/methods that may be helpful for healing or development as I listen and converse with clients, tailoring the session to their need. I am meeting primarily with clients in the Central Belt of Scotland. I also have Skype appointments and travel to groups around Scotland - please get in touch if you would like an appointment or for further information.
What development services am I offering?

Testimonials
What was said after an initial meeting and then quotes about work undertaken
It was lovely to sit down and talk yesterday; the office staff wondered what was going on such was the hilarity they could hear through the walls! You have such a wealth of community work and support behind you; it was evident from the start that our ethos and way of working with mothers and young families are completely in line. We would be delighted to have you run baby massage classes for the remainder of the block and building up a working relationship so that we can reach out and continue supporting young families.
Parent’s and Pregnancy Centre Co-ordinator
Thanks so much for yesterday! The Team had a fun and enlightening day, and we really appreciated your company and your wisdom. We all found the enneagram fascinating and the additional insight into how we all tick will be invaluable to how we work as a team! Looking forward to getting another date in the diary!

Personal development and discernment is such an important part of what this year is about and I think you offering your ‘toolkit’ of gifts and skills to them was invaluable. Some interesting discussions too!
Co-ordinator of Young (American) Adult Volunteer Programme in Priority Areas
Thanks so much for leading our Enneagram group! It was fabulous! Group really gelled, and appreciated your insights and wisdom. I learnt so much – it was really helpful for me, with a much deeper sense of who I am. It’s been really thought-provoking. Thanks for all you brought to the group.
