A 30-year-old woman who stalked her alternative therapist for several months has been banned from contacting the shaman for five years. Cassidy Blyth became infatuated with Tarot card reader and shamanic practitioner Brian Anderson after visiting him to relieve her stress.
Blyth bombarded her therapist with phone calls and messages and told him she had fallen in love with him during their sessions. She continued to pester the alternative healer after being warned off and turned up uninvited in his garden with a package containing items including a map.
Mr Anderson, who conducted a number of counselling sessions with Blyth at his centre in Methven, Perthshire, eventually called in the police for help. He had previously advised Blyth, of Ibrox Street, Glasgow, to seek out "more robust" assistance for her mental health difficulties than he was qualified to provide.
