    Centre Head and Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Maggie's Lanarkshire


    As a Psychologist I'm inspired by Maggie's empowering, respectful and holistic approach.  It's a privilege to see how, with good quality information, support and skills, and the right environment, people can find their own best way to live with the challenges of cancer.

    I studied Psychology at St Andrews University, and worked in an Epilepsy Centre in Cheshire before going on to train in Clinical Psychology at Glasgow University.  I was a Clinical Psychologist in NHS Lanarkshire for 16 years, specialising in psychological issues experienced by people dealing with physical health problems.

    I am married with 3 active little boys.  In my spare time I enjoy scrapbooking.  I am interested in astronomy and have my own telescope and love travel, our tortoises and time with family and friends.

    Cancer Support Specialist, Maggie's Lanarkshire


    I made a positive choice to do what I truly enjoy – supporting people affected by cancer.

    I have worked in cancer care since I qualified as a nurse in 1989.  I have held a variety of posts including Primary Nurse in palliative care, Clinical Nurse Specialist at Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow and have also been a Course Director, Module Leader and Lecturer at the Universities of Glasgow and Stirling. 

    I love my family, my friends, and my budgies! My hobbies are gardening, dog-sitting, and trying to save the planet.
