Lucy Mason
(she/her)
I am an experienced trainer, having worked internationally for 2 decades as a social justice facilitator using a person-centred approach to support people, groups, communities and organisations to become more fully themselves and to live in more alignment with their values. I am also a person-centred therapist and began facilitating the COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills in 2022. I am also a COSCA accredited trainer.
I love accompanying people engaged in this powerful and transformative process. As a therapist and trainer, I deeply value the lived experience we each bring with us, and I work to co-create a nurturing and empowering environment.

Jim Flowers
(he/him)
I have worked for many years as an accredited COSCA trainer, as a Person Centred therapist and as a counsellor supervisor. Previously I worked as a support worker, a community worker and youth worker in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh.
For many years, until recently, I was one of the COSCA Certificate Course Leads at Edinburgh College and instrumental in developing the highly successful Certificate programme there.
From this work, I know well the value of the Counselling Certificate course as a catalyst for deep and radical personal change and professional development - I love being alongside students engaged in that process.

Rachel Watt
(she/her)
I completed my Counselling Diploma 15 years ago and have had experience working in a variety of settings with diverse groups of people. Working primarily in the third sector, I have been involved in fundraising and setting up counselling services, as well as providing Counselling to a wide range of people. I specialise in working with Children and Young People, and for the last 10 years have worked as a School Counsellor in schools across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian.
I am a COSCA accredited trainer who has been delivering the COSCA Certificate since 2021 and I love the variety it brings to my practice. I enjoy the dynamic of group work and seeing students develop both personally and professionally. It’s a privilege to be part of this journey with students and to see the impact Counselling can have on people’s lives.
