hi friends, i am retired from formal work in psychology nowadays, and have gone into the antiques and fine arts business. but i still enjoy keeping my hand in and using my experience, as i have a lot of free time now, since losing my husband, peter, who was a titled royal scottish lord, and also being physically disabled and practically housebound now since a near death illness 7 years ago. so the whole aim of this page is to make private psychology and psychotherapy available to all and anyone at an easily affordable cost :)
i studied and worked first under the renowned dr russeell blacker, who founded the association of christian psychiatrists, and lectures all over the world in this, and published many books similar also. my work has been called phenominal, and i have no doubt that i can change your whole outlook on life and sense of self, and get you a better life in a short time :)
i am by profession a dr of psychology, and prior to this was fully registered MBACP as a psychotherapist and counsellor qualified in the Gestalt method, but as a Dr have mow devised my own techniques of working, which are now being used by an institution in london. indeed i have written and published 6 books in my past in my 20’s and 30’s, the first of which prince charles agreed to write the foreword for, and am currently working on 2 more. i am now almost 60. i am not a christian counsellor, tho most of my work is biblically grounded in some way. however i also incorporate the teachings and rituals from other spiritual paths and cultures into my work, including buddhist and wicca, native american indian, druidic and new age thinking, and also include some science too, some mathematical truths for enlightenment, some philosophy, some astrology and some creative use of the tarot (not as magic to predict the future i must add, but as a creative means of working out underlying issues with the client) the tarot is after all, 99% psychology and only 1% the magic of the synchronicity principle. i include some political thinking, basic physics and the unchanging laws of physics, the understanding of the synchronicity principle, the basic facts of life, ie birth, marriage and death, and sexual understanding too, and understanding most of all of self, and all knowledge from any walk of life. in my personal life i often use wiccan ritual in a biblical light in my daily life.
i must add that i have no fixed beliefs or opinions on any issue, be it spiritual, political or even scientific. i prefer to keep an open mind and heart to all possibilities. all i urge my clients to cling to, is that there is more to this life and world than meets the eye. there is far more to this life, and the uiniverse out there, than any of us knows and understands, as any top scientist will tell you. infact, science and spirituality are very close, as both are searching for the same answers, and seeking more to life than just "this". indeed, if i did not have my hope to be reunited with my husband one day, and nothing more than this except to just grow old and infirm, then cease to exist, then i might as well shoot myself tomorrow :)
life is like a jigsaw puzzle, where many of us only see our own few individual pieces, and they might be look nice in their own right. but it is only when you successfully put all the little pieces together, and see the whole complete big picture, that you see a whole different picture altogether, and come to a whole new realisation of both self and the worl around you :)
i use creative means to try to awaken the dormant mind, to try to achieve that “eureka!” moment, when it suddenly all makes sense, and if possible during home sessions often do communication with the client thru painting and use of colour as language without words. i call this subliminal communication. i also employ the use of musical instruments for intuitive music, do deep relaxation techniques, guided meditation, and head, neck and shoulder holistic massage, and foot massage. also luxury herbal foot bathing and maniplulation of the feet. i am well up in the uses of herbs, spices, natural home blended medicinal teas, home blended medicines for treatment of many both mental and physical ailments. i possess over 400 medicinal and magical herbs, and over 250 expensive essential oils for use in inhaled aromatherapy when needed, as i also have serveral simplistic vintage hospital inhalers, that were invented by a french dr and used in hospitals during the 40’s and 50’s, using the vapour of various oils to treat various complaints. it is simply a more traditional form of a modern electric nebuliser, but much simpler, and less limited in the the way you can use the oils.
all this aside, i am most well known for my sound and brutally honest counsel, and experience of life. and understanding of the “between the lines” element of the words spoken or written. i have emails from people all over the world saying that i explained not only the whole universe to them, but even how it works too.
i believe that the answers to all present day issues, and indeed the answers to our future too, lie in looking at the past, as it is said that history all repeats itself. we might have had issues with our parents when growing up, but it is also said that a leopard cannot change it spots, which means that we cannot alter the genes we are born with, from our parents and ancient ancestors, tho we CAN learn how to adapt and to improve our lives to be better than theirs, and to find our own unique self, and our own natural talents and gifts, no matter how we were born and shaped by our upbringing. so the answers to those parental issues lie in looking at our parents and ancestors themselves for the answers to our present day lives and our future. this way we make our own dreams come true, as i have done :)
i specialise in bereavement counselling, and run my own widows’ support foundation.
i also work with terminal and serious illness;
pregnancy issues, miscarriage and abortion;
sexual issues;
relationships counselling;
general mental, emotional and spiritual counselling.
physical health counselling;
diet and eating disorders;
lack of confidence and low self esteem;
anxiety and depression;
mentoring and life coaching, for both daily living, relationships, or for business and career;
feminine health and beauty, both physically and emotionally;

i do not only do counselling, but hope also to teach the techniques i have successfully used in my life, for others to employ for their own success too.
please pm me for charges, as i do various rates for different individual cases, or for various timescales or set block courses of therapy, or for various techniques and different types of work. i work either from my home in person, or on line by instant messaging here, or emails. as a guide, i would charge £50 for the first consultation with me, lasting 2 hours, by messenger, or on skype, and £25 per hour session thereafter. if you send me an email, of any length, i charge £15 to reply at length by email. i also consider doing in depth card analysis readings, not only giving a reading like most, but with you taking part in the reading work too, thinking for yourself too, by messenger or skype, which again costs just £25 per session, no matter how long it lasts. if you come to my home and we use art or other creative materials, herbs and oils, then this naturally costs a bit more. i can also tell you which oils, or other medicinal products you need, and you can order them from me by mail order. i accept payments for all work by paypal or bank transfer only, in advance of sessions, or in cash on arrival at my home.
