About me

I offer a creative approach to psychotherapy, in-person in central Glasgow. Talking is always an option, and there are always creative resources available for use.

When working creatively, there is absolutely no need for any creative or artistic skill, or experience. The focus is on the process - your experience of creating, and any meaning there may be. Simply put, creative approaches can help express what is hard to put into words. 

My training was rooted in both person-centred and psychodynamic therapies. In practice, this means that I'll help facilitate your process in the direction and at a pace that works for you. I'll also be bringing an understanding of how past relationships impact present day relationships, including the therapeutic one. Other theories/approaches that influence my work include; the biology of relationships and emotions, and, how identities and society's systems affect us. I'll relate to you and your process with warmth, realness, empathy, curiosity and inclusivity. 

Experiences I have worked with include; anxiety, neglect, abuse, trauma, bereavement, care-experience, adoption, and transitions. I have worked with people with neurodivergence (in therapy) and other disabilities (in community and mental health settings).

If you're interested in working together, or have any questions, please do get in touch. For more info on my background and the way I work, please read on.

The venue is very central and close to multiple public transport options. Photos below.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained as a Play Therapist and have adapted my practice to work with adults. Prior to setting up CoCreate I worked in the third sector with children, young people and their parents/carers. I also have a background in mindfulness facilitation with all ages, and mental health support work with adults. Alongside this part-time practice, I work in community engagement for a wellbeing social enterprise.

Key details

PVG Scheme info

In Scotland, criminal records checks are carried out by Disclosure Scotland. Professionals working with children or vulnerable adults must join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. You can learn more at mygov.scot , or contact this professional directly.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Platform lift over foyer stairs, followed by enclosed lift to the floor. Please let me know if there’s a way I might be able to help you access therapy. This might include but isn't limited to needs related to physical accessibility and communication.
