About me
What I do:
In a nutshell, I help people who want to become more connected - to themselves, and to the important people in their lives.
Whether you are overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, navigating family issues, or seeking support as a neurodivergent person (including Autism and ADHD), you are not alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what's going on - and how you'd like things to change.
Some of my clients come to therapy because life feels unmanageable. Others come because they sense there is more to life than just 'coping'. Many feel like they struggle to belong anywhere - feeling 'too much' or 'not enough'.
You may not have the words yet for what's bothering you - that's OK, we can explore your experience with curiosity, compassion, care.
What to expect:
It's difficult to describe exactly what happens in a counselling session - because each one is unique.
We might spend time talking about troubling you right now, explore past experiences, or notice what's happening in the moment between us.
I may invite you to tune in into your body's sensation, unse creative expression (like drawing or playing with symbolic objects), or focus on your breath and movement - always with your full consent. I will regularly check in to ensure the process is right for you.
Whether you are seeking to build self-awareness, heal from trauma, or simply want a reliable, compassionate listener at the end of a difficult week, my intention is that you feel safe, respected and truly heard.
Where:
I currently offer in-person counselling in two locations:
- Glasgow (Thursdays)
- Stirling (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays)
Online sessions may also be available - please enquire.
Why me?
There are many skilled therapists to choose from - it's important you find someone you feel safe with.
I know how daunting it can be to open up to a stranger; I've been there myself. Therapy changed my life, and the belief that healing is possible is more than just a theory for me - it's personal truth.
Today, I feel incredibly grateful as I walk alongside others, as they rediscover hope, clarity and connection.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative Humanistic Counsellor.
I gained my clinical experience in the MIND charity and in NHS psychological services, where I had the privilege of working with clients affected by: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, developmental trauma, self-harm, and abusive relationships. Since moving to Scotland, I have been focusing on my private practice.
I have an interest in supporting individuals and family members affected by/living with Autism. I practice from a neuro-affirmative standpoint.
I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling awarded by Metanoia Institute, as well as
BSc (Hons) 1:1 in Humanistic Counselling by Middlesex University.
I have also completed the Foundation Training in Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor in the UK. PBSP is a structured, experiential therapy that uses the body and carefully constructed symbolic experiences to repair developmental deficits and foster a stronger, more secure internal sense of self.
I am a member of the BACP, and I abide by their Code of Ethics.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
