About me
Welcome
Hi, I’m Sally, an experienced and accredited counsellor offering therapy in Ayr, Coatbridge, and online.
I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space where they can talk openly without fear of judgement or feeling they have to hide parts of themselves. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and accepted for who you are.
I work in a way that is both trauma-informed and neuro-affirming. This means I recognise that our experiences shape us, and that there is no one “right” way to think, feel, communicate, or experience the world. Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, identify as neurodivergent, or simply feel you’ve never quite fitted into the expectations of others, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
Many people carry the effects of difficult or overwhelming life experiences, even if they don’t always think of them as trauma. These experiences can influence how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. In therapy, we’ll work together at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you, with your wellbeing at the centre of everything we do.
I understand that starting counselling can feel daunting, so building a trusting therapeutic relationship is incredibly important to me. I want you to feel that this is a space where you have choice, your voice matters, and you can be yourself without pressure or judgement.
Every person is unique, and I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move towards the life you want to live.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
