About me
I am a Glasgow based integrative counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and LGBTQIA+ issues. Working with me will allow you to understand the impact of the past on your current situation and find creative ways for moving forward.
I have lived in different parts of the world which has given me a diverse understanding of the lived experience. I believe that talking through our issues can provide a deep sense of relief. Its my passion to support my clients as they come to terms with their inner truth and find meaning in their life.
Counselling is a deeply personal experience and I feel honoured each time I listen to and sit beside my clients. I offer a free thirty minute zoom consultation which will allow you to get a sense of me and see if we are a good fit. If you are interested in exploring counselling then please get in touch with me via email, text or the form provided to schedule your initial consultation.

Professional experience:
My counselling experience includes working with Wellbeing Scotland to support clients suffering from trauma, including those dealing with chronic anxiety, domestic abuse, and bereavement. Additionally, I have experience working as a counsellor with a diverse range of clients during my time at LGBT Health and Wellbeing.
Within my private practice, I have supported people on issues around familial acceptance, loss, sexual abuse, and forging a stable identity in the aftermath of traumatic events.
I have supported people to discover their authentic self, even when this may not align with the values and expectations of family. Additionally, I have worked with clients from the LGBTQIA+ communities, with a focus on themes of gender and sexuality.
I also work with the organisation African Rainbow Family, where I have supported refugee clients process their trauma and abuse, come to terms with the loss and grief of migration, and find renewed hope and calm within themselves.
My practice is open and warm. I believe in forming deep and authentic relationships with my clients, which I believe is at the heart of healing a person's wounds from the past.
I currently work as a guest speaker at the University of Strathclyde, alongside my work in private practice.
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.
