Life in Renfrewshire or in the UK, can feel like a relentless series of demands, leaving you with little left for yourself. If you’re tired of pretending everything is "fine" while feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor in Paisley, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space to explore what’s weighing you down. This March, I am offering a special rate of £50 to help you get the support you need. Together, we can get to the root of your distress, quiet the noise, and help you reclaim your sense of self. Why not reach out for a chat?
Sometimes, talking isn't enough to shift the weight you're carrying. In my Paisley practice, I specialise in anxiety, trauma, and burnout. By combining counselling with somatic tools, we address how stress lives in your body as well as your mind. Together, we’ll move beyond just "getting by" to help you feel grounded, resilient, and at peace again
It’s okay to stop "just getting on with it." The weight you’re carrying is real, and you deserve a space where you can finally breathe. Together, we’ll work to move you from burnout toward a renewed sense of self. If you're ready to explore what a calmer life looks like, please do reach out. I’m ready when you are.

I help adults with anxiety, trauma, burnout, and grief. Your plan is tailored to you, combining talking therapy with somatic (body-based) work to safely explore the roots of distress. We won't just talk; we will work to calm your nervous system. You can expect to gain better emotional regulation, practical coping tools, and a resilient sense of self to handle life with more ease.
