About me

Reaching out for therapy, whether it's your first time or you've had previous experience, can feel overwhelming. Therapy often involves deep self-reflection and open, honest conversations, which can be challenging. I recognise this, and that's why I prioritise creating a comfortable environment where you feel supported and safe throughout the process.

My core orientation is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is a family of talking therapies, all based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected. If we change one of these we can alter all the others. CBT is a collaborative approach, where therapist and client work together toward mutually agreed-upon goals. It’s not something done to you, but rather a partnership focused on achieving positive outcomes. When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better.

However, I recognise the importance of individuality, which is why I don't limit my practice to using CBT tools and techniques and instead take an integrative approach to suit each clients individual needs, drawing from various counselling methods and modalities. My goal as a therapist is to work with you compassionately and empathetically, helping you achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

I'm also a trained couples counsellor and take an integrative approach to couples counselling, depending on what you want to work on we can use tools and techniques from different modalities of counselling including Emotion Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis, CBT and Solution Focused therapy.  We would discuss the approach in our first session together which is a 60 minute assessment session. 

I offer face to face therapy from my therapy room in Glenboig, North Lanarkshire. I'm also a certified online and telephone counsellor and use the Zoom platform for online work. 

Contact me for an initial 10/15 minute free telephone consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together.
