About me
Hi, I’m Sally, an experienced, accredited counsellor offering therapy in Ayr, Coatbridge and also online.
I am committed to providing a neuro-affirming and trauma-informed therapeutic space where clients feel safe, respected, and accepted as they are. I recognise that every person's experiences, ways of thinking, communicating, and relating to the world are unique. Rather than viewing differences through a deficit-based lens, I work from an understanding that neurodiversity is a natural part of human variation.
Being trauma-informed means I understand the lasting impact that difficult, overwhelming, or adverse experiences can have on emotional wellbeing, relationships, self-esteem, and nervous system responses. My approach prioritises safety, choice, collaboration, trust, and empowerment, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Accessibility is central to my practice. I believe everyone deserves a place where they can speak openly without fear of judgement, criticism, or the need to mask who they are. I strive to create an inclusive, compassionate environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported, regardless of their background, identity, neurotype, or life experiences.
My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship built on acceptance, curiosity, and genuine human connection, helping you explore your experiences in a way that honours your individual needs and strengths.

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.
