About me

Are you feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelmed by ADHD, or held back by self-doubt? Do thoughts like “I am not good enough” or perfectionism keep you from living fully? You are not alone and don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Hi, I am Samantha, a dedicated Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) based in Perthshire, Scotland. I support individuals in managing ADHD, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, helping them build resilience and create positive change. I aim to empower you with tools to break free from unhelpful patterns and rediscover your confidence, purpose, and joy.

Why Choose My Approach?
Tailored Support: Everyone’s struggles are unique. Together, we will explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours holding you back, creating practical strategies that work for you.


Compassionate Guidance: You will find a safe, understanding space where you can heal, grow, and reclaim your inherent worth.


Convenient Online Sessions: Access therapy from the comfort of your home via Zoom—flexible, private, and suited to your schedule.


What I Can Help With:
- ADHD: Managing overwhelm, improving focus, and tackling procrastination.

- Imposter Syndrome: Overcoming self-doubt and recognising your true value.

- Perfectionism: Breaking free from unrealistic expectations and embracing self-compassion.

- Anxiety & Depression: Finding relief from worry, sadness, and unhelpful cycles.

- Low Self-Esteem: Building confidence and embracing your worth.

Let’s Rewrite Your Story
During our sessions, we will work together to challenge unhelpful beliefs, build resilience, and foster self-esteem. You will gain actionable tools to navigate life’s challenges and start living on your terms.

Change isn’t just possible—it is within your reach. Take the first step towards a more confident, fulfilling life today.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
