About me
Choosing a counsellor can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels at its most challenging. I understand how daunting it can be, and I hope this introduction offers something that resonates with you.
I’m an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), offering compassionate, confidential counselling both in-person (Southside of Glasgow) and online across the UK. Whether you're feeling anxious, grieving, dealing with difficulties from your past or simply overwhelmed by life, I’m here to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
My approach
Counselling is a collaborative process. Together, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns in your behaviours, and work towards creating positive change. Many people come to me unsure of where to start but leave with greater self-awareness, healthier coping strategies, and a renewed sense of control over their lives. I follow a person centred approach. I tailor our work, to your unique needs and move at a pace that feels right for you. Clients often tell me that through counselling, they find the courage and strength to take control of their lives.
How I can help
Counselling is about being heard, understood and supported as you change. In counselling I offer a safe space to explore your emotions and experiences. The power is in noticing the behaviours that hold you back and in bringing about change. My approach focuses on working at your pace and from your perspective to help you: Together we aim to:
- Develop healthier coping mechanisms.
- Foster self-awareness and self-acceptance.
- Create lasting, meaningful change in your life.
If you’re unsure how to move forward but know that something needs to change, I’m here to help.
- Call or email me with any questions—I'll respond promptly and without obligation.
- Visit my website: consideratecounselling.co.uk.
- Book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit to work together.
- You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered. Let’s take this step together—I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
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.

Getting in contact
I offer a free 20 minute session to ask any questions you might have. about counselling or how I work.
Just get in contact or send an email to arrange
How can I meet you for my session
I offer both on-line and in person counselling. Many people prefer the flexibility of phone and video appointments where they have other commitments, yet, others prefer coming to see their therapist and I can offer both or a mix of the two.
I see clients on the South side of Glasgow. It is easily accessed by public transport, and has free car parking directly outside.
How many sessions will I need?
There isn't a simple number of sessions you might need. Some people get benefit from one session and others have a longer therapy journey. Normally a series of sessions would be required, but therapy is tailored to you and reviewed with you regularly. Typically you would come to therapy weekly or fortnightly.
