I am a fully accredited UKCP*, EABP and EAP registered psychotherapist, with more than 40 years of professional experience.
[*The UKCP register of psychotherapists has been accepted (accredited) by the UK Professional Standards Authority.]
I am professionally insured by Towergate.

I work with a combination of several different modalities (see the boxes below);
Over the last 35-40 years, I have a wide experience of working in a variety of clinical settings (including individual private practice, in groups, within communities, in educational and/or correctional settings, in charitable and voluntary settings, and in medical settings, such as in the NHS); and also of working with a wide range of different clients (adults, couples, adolescents, people in crisis, etc.). 
Some of my work is also with various Employee Assistance Programmes, where employees of a company can be allocated some counselling sessions as a benefit of their employment.  Some of these sessions are face-to-face; some of these sessions are by telephone or skype.

I work clinically in and around Edinburgh, Scotland, UK and also in the Scottish Borders (Melrose/Galashiels).
I also work by Skype, telephone (Face-time), and by e-mail - though I obviously prefer meeting with the person first and getting a proper sense of who they are.

I have also been very actively involved in:
Several professional associations within psychotherapy; in developing the politics of professional psychotherapy in Europe; in presenting at international conferences; in leading workshops & seminars; in editing books and journals; in writing many articles & chapters on psychotherapy; and in writing a couple of books; and editing and publishing several others, etc.
... as well as occasionally writing poetry, looking after the garden, going on holiday, meeting with friends,
... and being as loving a husband, father and now grandfather, as I can be.
