About me
A very warm welcome to you. Finding a new therapist can feel daunting, but you’ve already taken an important first step.
Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming — leaving you stuck, alone, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, ADHD, or a major life transition, you don’t have to face it alone.
About Me and My Approach
I'm originally from Scotland and worked in education before retraining and moving into mental health services. I am a humanistic integrative counsellor; this means I use a blend of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Counselling, and Gestalt, which I tailor to each client.
At the core of my work is the belief that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change. My approach combines exploration of both the past and present: we’ll look at how early experiences may still shape your current outlook, alongside your present relationships, communication patterns, and emotional connections.
My aim is to support you in building resilience, forming more meaningful connections, and making the changes you want to see in your life.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work in accordance with their Ethical Framework, which guides and informs my practice.
What to Expect
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place weekly, either online or in person. You can continue therapy for as long as it feels helpful — there's no fixed limit.
In our sessions, we’ll create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
You’ll decide what you’d like to focus on. Some people prefer to choose a topic and explore it over several sessions, while others like to decide week by week. We can talk through what feels right for you and tailor the structure accordingly.
Together, we can explore patterns, difficult emotions, held beliefs, and past experiences that might still need to be processed or challenged.
Next Steps
Not every therapist is the right fit for every person — which is why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute call to see if we might be a good fit. Feel free to get in touch to arrange a time that works for you.
If you're waiting to hear from me, do check your junk or spam folder — occasionally my emails land there by mistake.

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.
