I work with children, adolescents, and adults who feel overwhelmed and need practical, effective support. Children may struggle with school anxiety, bullying, or emotions that feel too big to manage. Adolescents often face exam pressure, friendship challenges, identity concerns, or low self-esteem. Adults may be coping with grief, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck. My goal is to help clients feel calmer, more confident, and equipped with tools that make life more manageable. Whether in person at my Ardross practice or online, I offer support that is clear, down-to-earth, and tailored to what matters most.

You might be longing for a safe place to talk about what matters most to you —your feelings, your relationships, or how to live more authentically. Many of the people I see have had recent feelings of anxiety, reactivity, or disconnection, some carrying painful memories from their past. Others who see me are looking to build closer emotional connections, express themselves more freely, or explore their identity and creativity. Some are in non-traditional relationships and value a therapist who can meet them with openness and respect. My clients often share a hope of feeling more connected, grounded, and true to themselves.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve been trying to manage on your own for a long time. You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are or where you're going. Maybe anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt are getting in the way, or you're finding it hard to navigate relationships, life transitions, or intense emotions.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
