Are you tired of feeling anxious and depressed? Struggling with a difficult situation? Therapy is an investment in yourself and can enable great change in your life. It would be my privilege to support you in whatever challenge you're facing.
Through my practice, Desktop Counselling, I work online with anyone in the UK and in-person in Paisley, Scotland. I've supported individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, complex-PTSD, relationship issues, LGBTQ+ issues and low self-esteem. I've worked with many clients who are Autistic, ADHD and experiencing other neurodivergence.
Consider how you want to use your time in therapy. Do you have any therapeutic goals? What would a successful outcome of therapy look like for you?

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Humanistic
  • Person-Centred
  • Transactional Analysis
"
I primarily use the person-centred approach, which means your therapy is tailored to you. I integrate elements of other modalities in which I am trained, such as Transactional Analysis. I am always on the lookout for any non-presenting issues. For example, you may present with anxiety; we can explore any deeper issues that may be informing this experience.
