About me
I am a qualified, registered, and experienced Counselling Psychologist based in the heart of Glasgow’s West End. My practice is committed to providing a confidential and empathic space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences free from judgement.
I work with both adults and teenagers facing psychological distress, emotional and behavioural challenges, family and relationship difficulties. I am here to offer tailored, trauma-informed, and empathetic support to help you overcome these challenges and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
In addition to my holistic and compassionate approach, I am committed to providing an LGBTQI+ affirmative practice, ensuring all clients feel fully accepted, respected, and supported. I also have extensive experience working with multicultural clients and students. My aim is to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, receives the personalised support they need to thrive.
My approach focuses on helping you navigate life's difficulties with empathy and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Together, we can work towards personal growth, emotional resilience, and a healthier sense of self.
I utilise a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs and preferences, including
- Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Focusing
As an experienced clinical hypnotherapist, I also offer hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to treat the discomforts of unwanted behavioural, emotional and health problems, including smoking cessation. Hypnotherapy and EFT are offered as part of ongoing counselling.
In addition to my clinical work, I am a lecturer in applied psychology at the University of Edinburgh. My research focuses on mental health stigma and transcultural experiences in children and families. This academic work informs my practice, ensuring I stay current with the latest psychological theories and therapeutic techniques.
