Email meAbout me
As a highly qualified Clinical Psychologist with experience in both NHS and private practice, I am qualified to work with adults and young people, including people with learning disabilities and other developmental conditions, with moderate to complex psychological difficulties. I work with a range of difficulties, such as different anxiety presentations (OCD, general anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias), depression and bipolar presentations, anger, grief and bereavement, life coaching, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and negative self-image, trauma and complex trauma, addiction and adjustment difficulties.
I believe that no one is “defective” and that every difficulty you currently experience is a normal reaction to experiences you have had in your life. My aim is to help you process past experiences and adjust your (emotional, mental, behavioural) coping strategies to navigate your current life in more productive and fulfilling ways.
Please email me or leave a message on my answerphone and I will get back to you as quickly as possible for an initial free email or 15min phone consultation to discuss your needs and what you expect to get out of counselling. We will then arrange a face to face appointment.
I currently have availability on Saturdays in Hamilton and - from January 2020 - on Thursday evenings in Glasgow. There is a special introductory offer for my new clinic in Glasgow, please see details below.
