I was born and grew up in Edinburgh.  After training for ministry at Coates Hall, the Theological College of the Scottish Episcopal Church, I was ordained at St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Aberdeen, in 1993 where I was Chaplain until 1995.  I served as Priest in Charge of St. Mungo’s, Alexandria, Dunbartonshire from 1995-2000 where I was also a school chaplain and a chaplain to the Vale of Leven District General Hospital.  From 2000 to 2020, I was a full time Healthcare Chaplain, starting in Lincolnshire, in the Church of England, then moving to Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.  I became Lead Chaplain for Acute Services in Tayside in 2006, then Lead Chaplain for Staff Support and Wellbeing from 2013-2020.  I came back into full time parish ministry in 2020 serving at All Souls, Invergowrie, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Dundee, and St. Salvador’s, Dundee.  I have a particular interest in pastoral care, counselling, and reflection.  I’m a member of the Association for Pastoral Supervision and Education (APSE) and I support professional colleagues in reflecting on their work.  I also provide support to the wider Church as a Vocations Advisor and Panel Member, helping candidates explore a call to ministry.  It is a great privilege to help folk process things that are important, or challenging, for them as they find their own hopeful and meaningful ways forward regardless of their beliefs, or life stance.  The East Neuk has a special place in my heart, our daughter having done a lot of her growing up here, visiting and staying with her grandparents in Crail.  I love people, nature, movies, music, and good food.  Please stop and chat if you see me!
