Find a CRM® Therapist

Hello, I live in Scotland and can offer an audio-visual service if you feel that we could work together.

My career as a Mental/Health Practitioner includes 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS. This has given me a para-medical background and a profound acceptance that we cannot separate the mind and body.

My post-grad training in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy started in 2010. I have continued to learn and grow. My work is informed by evidenced-based neuroscience and current research on the advances in psychotherapy approaches and treatments.

I believe that all therapy should be bespoke and individualised. At the end of the day, it’s about you and your need whether it’s:-

• Counselling  –  seeking counsel for something quite specific.
• Life Coaching –  to talk through a decision or a crossroad you are facing.
• Psychotherapy – a CRM journey of healing and recovery from past events. 90min
• Supervision –  for mental health practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists (COSCA Supervision Cert)

I am an advocate of somatic psychotherapy. This means that it’s more than just a talking therapy.

The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) allows the brain and body to establish a physiological state of sufficient safety in order to create a new window of emotional tolerance. This has proven very effective for trauma, addictions, eating disorders, phobias and severe anxiety issues.

You set the pace but together, we build your inner resources to work through the protective layers that have usually taken years to build. Layers that have protected you but also, possibly, stopped the ’truth’ being brought into the light to allow for re-membering, re-framing, re-consolidation, and re-integration.

What happens next?

Once you have made contact through email: sltherapies@outlook.com

we’ll arrange a free 20-minute online conversation through Microsoft Teams or Signal.

This will give you a chance to decide if you want to work together.

If we decide to go ahead, I will send you some paperwork to complete and my payment details.

… and that’s it!

I completed CRM basic training three years ago, CRM Advanced Core Self & Case Conceptualization and Treatment of DID training followed.  I now use CRM in my daily practice. I use CRM continuously and the results are amazing, client feedback and evaluation praise the CRM journey and the clients speak of the positive changes in their way of being and doing in their world. I attend regular CRM supervision to keep up with the developments and expansion of the model as it grows and expands.

Biographical Info:

I have been working in the high pressure environment of prisons since 1978 and as a trauma informed integrative counsellor (extra to that) since 1989. Currently I work in the South of Scotland as a therapist, this includes Edinburgh and several large towns and cities. My work has centred around many variations of trauma source, be it post incident, work related, stress and/or violence. My specialism is in supporting survivors of every kind of abuse be it experienced in adulthood or childhood.

I currently work part of my time for a specialist agency called Open Secret which is based in Central Scotland. I practice an integrative approach to counselling as well as The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) therapy. This is to ensure that the technique I used is tailored to the individual client.

CRM is especially effective with long held post traumatic stress disorder but can also be used for any other issues. With extensive experience of life gained through working in prisons I have far more to offer than I would have if I had chosen to work solely as a therapist and there are no life experiences that I haven’t worked with. My history of employment coupled with broad training and teaching experience I can offer a rounded, well informed approach that enables me to support people most effectively. I look forward to using my experience to support people through the most important life changes they can make.
