About me
Do you feel guilty because you never get everything done? Maybe you feel like you're letting people down?
Perhaps you are not sleeping because you are worrying about how the day ahead will go. Everyone else seems to be coping and you ask yourself, "What's wrong with me?"
If this vicious cycle is familiar to you, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands that life is placing on you. You will probably feel exhausted, and frustrated that you can never find time for yourself.
Relationships might be difficult or fraught. You may be feeling resentful anger towards those closest to you, which makes you feel even worse about yourself.
How Therapy can Help You
I can help you to understand and accept yourself, and when this happens a number of things become easier:
- You will be able to accept other people, and your relationships will improve.
- You will feel less guilt and it will become possible to make choices about where you want to focus your energy.
- You will feel more in control and this will give you a sense of being able to cope.
Imagine what it would be like to live without guilt, to feel as though you are coping with life, and to have better and more meaningful relationships at home and at work.
Why Choose Me?
I know from personal experience how powerful it can be to have someone really listen. I was in my forties when I first worked with a coach who helped me realise I could make choices about how I wanted to live and work — not just react to what was expected of me.
That was a turning point. I began to understand what truly mattered to me, stopped saying yes out of guilt, and saw my relationships and confidence improve.
That experience shapes how I work now as a therapist and a coach. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, explore what’s important to you, and begin to make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.
Clients often tell me they feel safe, heard, and accepted — and they leave therapy feeling more in control, more grounded, and more hopeful about their future.

Member organisations
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
