About me
We all go through times when life feels challenging, and it’s not always easy to know how to move forward. Maybe you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, or difficult emotions are getting in the way of living the life you want. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s on your mind and make sense of the challenges that have brought you to therapy. I work with a wide range of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and more.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy because everyone is different. I take the time to understand you and your unique situation, tailoring my approach to suit your needs in a way that feels most helpful to you.
I know finding the right therapist can be daunting. That's why I offer a free 15 to 20 minute chat where you can ask questions and most importantly, see if we click. Feeling at ease and supported in therapy is essential and this initial chat allows us to establish that foundation.

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.
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.
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
If you have never had therapy before and are unsure of what to expect, let's try one session to see how it feels for you. This initial meeting will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and to get a sense of what therapy is like. It's important that you feel comfortable and supported, and this session will help you decide if therapy feels like the right fit for you.
