About me
Hello and welcome to my profile. I’m Jill. A down-to-earth person-centred therapist offering in person and online counselling from a welcoming space in Glasgow city centre.
I have extensive experience working for a cancer charity. It was witnessing there how counselling and connection can transform how people feel that led me to become a therapist.
I have broad experience supporting clients with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, addiction, chronic health conditions, brain injury, and abuse.
I’m committed to offering a supportive space where you feel safe to share whatever you are experiencing. I work authentically and with sensitivity to how our identities and life experiences impact the way we understand ourselves and connect with others.
What you explore will always be your choice. Our work together will respond to what you need and at the pace that’s right for you. I will be alongside you, hearing you without judgement, seeing you with kindness and your world from your perspective.
A therapeutic relationship built on trust, connection and open exchanges can help you feel grounded making space for healing and change. I firmly believe we all have capacity to find our best way towards understanding what we need, to accept or repair difficult and traumatic experiences, and create meaningful change.
I'd be pleased to arrange a free 20-minute MS Teams/Zoom meeting or phone call to introduce ourselves and warmly welcome any questions you have about working together.

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.
