About me
I offer warm, relational counselling that helps clients understand not only what they’re experiencing, but why. One of my greatest strengths is helping people connect the dots between their past experiences and their current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Together, we can explore these patterns, developing greater self-awareness and create meaningful, lasting change in how you relate to yourself, and others.
My approach is person-centred and integrative. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, thoughtful space where you feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. Clients often tell me they appreciate the warmth of our sessions, the insightful questions I ask, and the sense of clarity they gain through our work together.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, trauma, including sexual trauma, difficult childhood experiences, and existential concerns. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel something isn’t quite right, we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you to help navigate through whatever has brought you here.
I offer in-person sessions from my private office in Glasgow City Centre, alongside online and telephone sessions across the UK. If you are wondering whether we might be a good fit, I’d be happy to answer any questions before arranging a first session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology & Counselling from the University of Strathclyde. I am committed to ongoing professional development and have undertaken additional training in suicide intervention through Public Health Scotland and hold the COSCA counselling skills certification. My experience spans private practice, higher education, healthcare and charitable organisations, working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and a variety of issues.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked within counselling research ensuring my work remains informed by current research while grounded in compassionate, person-centred care. I have also worked as a Student Counsellor within the University of Glasgow, and have delivered professional development workshops exploring ethical practice in equality, diversity and inclusion. Earlier in my career, I volunteered within the NHS services supporting patients’ families and healthcare staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
