About me
Hello, I'm Cathie. Thanks for spending time looking at my advert. Whatever troubles have brought you, my aim is to assist in a way that provides ease, helping you live life in a more satisfying way. You;ll find more information about how I work and can help in my website listed above.
I'm an experienced, qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Also, a clinical supervisor to other therapists and care practitioners. I'm UKCP accredited, and a registered member of BACP. As a therapist some 18+ years, I've worked within the NHS, social services, business, specialist counselling agencies and higher education. Most recently I've managed a team of psychological therapists in a large Glasgow University. And, about to replace this re-joining the NHS alongside my private practice.
You'll find me working face to face in Bearsden, easily reachable for the Glasgow area, and towns beyond. I also welcome clients online via Skype or Zoom from across the wider UK, especially Devon where I lived and worked for many years.
Committed to offering therapy in a confidential and non-judgemental environment, I have considerable experience helping clients manage better their stress, anxiety, and the many different ways we can feel deep loss, or feel lost altogether. Also, trained and skilled in helping you unravel and heal the troubling symptoms that can come from experiencing early trauma, or living in a way that has meant you've suffered abuse.
My years as therapist, and relevant qualifications also allow me to integrate mindfulness practice into the way I work. It's a particular way of paying attention to our thoughts and feelings that can help us live with more ease, and a greater sense of well-being. With gentle effectiveness, it links mind and body assisting us to get to the heart of emotional or psychological troubles.
My qualifications are listed further down the page.
I also provide individual supervision to professionals (or trainees) in the counselling, psychotherapy and other health care professions.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
