About me
Firstly, I would like to say to you “thank you” for visiting my counselling profile and for reaching out for support. I know how difficult it can be to seek help when feeling anxious, low, or stuck, but hopefully this can be the first step on your journey towards feeling better!
I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and specialise in working with clients who may be struggling with OCD, Low Self-Esteem, and phobias.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach which increases self-awareness by recognising that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all connected. Applying CBT theory to your own situation, and using helpful tools learned in therapy can improve mood, reduce anxiety and promote overall well-being. I hope that we can work together to achieve your mental health goals.
I realise that many people seek counselling sessions to talk to someone in a safe environment and may not have specific goals for counselling from the outset. Just talking about anything that is distressing you and having an active listener who can offer new perspectives can help you to feel so much better.
I will always use what psychologist Carl Rogers called, the “core conditions” (empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence) in my sessions with you to create a welcoming, judgement free space for you to talk about your situation.
My aim for all of my clients is for them to have the ability to act as their own therapist once they have finished working with me.
I provide a free 20 minute consultation session via Zoom or phone call.
I offer face to face appointments in a comfortable office near Glasgow Central Station - or online counselling via zoom to wherever you may be in the UK.
If you would like to work with me you can call or text me on – 07923446015
If I do not answer your call, I will get back to you as soon as possible.

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.
