I am a Registered and Chartered Forensic Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). For the past 19 years, I have worked across a range of forensic settings in both Scotland and England, supporting male and female clients with complex psychological, emotional, and behavioural needs. My experience includes conducting risk assessments for prisons, parole hearings, courts, and psychiatric services, as well as providing therapeutic interventions focused on both offending behaviour and overall wellbeing. I work with individuals and groups to promote meaningful change and long-term recovery.

We provide comprehensive risk assessments for general violence, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. Our evaluations are structured, evidence-based, and grounded in professional judgment. Using validated tools such as the HCR-20, RSVP, and SARA, we assess historical, recent, and potential future risks. These assessments support treatment planning and inform key decisions, including suitability for progression to less secure environments or release.
Intervention can be provided to aid the process of change in thinking, attitudes and behaviours which contribute to offending. This includes areas such as problem solving, perspective taking, managing relationships and self management.
The challenges do not always end when the addictive behaviour stops. In fact, they can sometimes feel even more overwhelming. Addiction counselling offers a non-judgemental, safe space to explore the root causes of these behaviours, recognise unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and regain a sense of control.
Our psychology practice offers a safe, confidential space to navigate stress, relationship issues, anxiety, low mood, grief, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches and compassionate guidance, we help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward greater wellbeing. Whatever you are facing, support is here when you need it.
