About me
Welcome. I am an experienced CBT therapist providing a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and work towards meaningful change at your own pace.
I work with adults, teenagers and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, ADHD and autism-related challenges. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs, combining evidence-based CBT with a compassionate understanding of your unique experiences.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling with relationships, or looking to better understand yourself, therapy can help you develop practical strategies, build resilience and move towards the life you want.
Sessions are available in person and online, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and empowered to create lasting, positive change.
I have a wealth of life-skills and I focus on emotional regulation, and motivation. Within our relationship, you can expect from me a non-judgemental attitude, compassion and understanding with a level of challenge coordinated to help encourage meaningful change.
I am aware and welcoming towards the LGBTQIA communities and promise a respectful and non-judgemental attitude.
As with all therapists, I engage in monthly supervision to help enhance and regulate my practice.
As an accredited member of the BACP, I work and abide by the Ethical frameworks therein. I am fully insured to practice and all certificates, insurances and qualifications are always available to my clients.
I currently work from Motherwell.
Goldmind is a place where people can come and seek help in an environment which is Genuine, Understanding, Empathic and Confidential.

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.
