About me

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re carrying more than you let on?

On the outside, things might look like they’re being held together but inside, it can feel heavy, confusing, or hard to switch off. You don’t have to face that on your own.

Hi, I’m Maz.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of what’s going on for you at your pace, in your own way. There’s no expectation to have the right words or even know where to start. We can take it gently, together.

You might be coming with something specific, such as a loss, trauma, relationship difficulty, or experience of abuse or it might feel less clear, more like things have built up over time and become harder to manage.

I support people with a range of experiences, including trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, experiences of abuse, work-related stress, grief and loss, and family conflict.

Our work might involve understanding what’s underneath what you’re feeling, finding ways to feel more steady, or simply having a space where you don’t have to hold everything alone.

How I work
I am a fully qualified and accredited senior counsellor, offering sessions: in-person (Hamilton & East Kilbride), outdoors (local country parks across Lanarkshire & some areas of Glasgow), online or by phone.
Whether indoors or outdoors, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where you feel supported, heard, and able to explore at your own pace.

Outdoor therapy can be especially helpful for some people, offering a sense of space, movement, and connection with nature alongside the therapeutic process.

Getting started
Reaching out can feel like a big step so you don’t have to commit straight away as I offer a free 15-minute consultation where you can:

Get a feel for me
Ask any questions
Share a little about what’s brought you here
This gives you the space to decide if it feels like the right fit for you.

You’re very welcome to get in touch via email or phone to arrange a consultation call.

Wheelchair user access
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.
