About me
Appointments for online sessions being taken for January 2021. Get in touch to arrange a confidential call to discuss your requirements.
I am a professionally qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), providing therapy services online and in Paisley. I use an integrative style leading with acceptance and compassion and the skillset of CBT, whilst focussing on your individual needs to get the best out of our sessions together.
I aim to build a positive and trusting relationship with my clients and offer a relaxed, safe and confidential space to talk through your problems.
Using a collaborative non-judgmental approach, I can assist you in learning new ways of coping, decision making and problem-solving techniques, which can be referred to at any time. Taking the first step to start therapy can be difficult but it’s the first step in the journey to helping you work towards your goals.
As a qualified psychotherapist, my professional values include integrity, being compassionate and supportive, and understanding.
My work with clients includes, but not limited to, experiencing problems with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, perfectionism symptoms.
