Life feels hectic and busy most of the time. I'm sure at some point in the past we have all wished for a quiet moment to reboot our busy lives. So why is it so hard to make that happen? There are so many pressures we put on ourselves and the way we go about life..... if you need a neutral,supporting person to talk these feelings through with, or even some support in seeing things in a different way... I'm here! Friendly, enthusiastic and very supportive. No ones circumstances are the same and no one answer is right. We could find a new way of coping together to help you find the way to adjust to life today and going forward.

To grow in self-awareness, not only about yourself, but also how you interact with others and in different environments. Finding a way forward in your life that has meaning and value to you. It will help you to address the ways that you think, feel and behave. It will assist you in identifying your own inner strengths and resources, helping you to find solutions to the issue/s that brought you to counselling. All whilst promoting healing both psychologically and emotionally.

I offer a free initial consultation for clients to decide if we would work well together and am available for sessions both online and in person in a comfortable therapy centre in the west end of Glasgow.
I’m a qualified CBT therapist based in the west end of Glasgow with experience in NHS and education. This background has given me a strong understanding of the complex pressures faced by adults and young people during times of stress, change, or uncertainty. I work well with clients experiencing anxiety, including panic attacks, phobia and social anxiety. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I’m committed to creating a space where clients feel understood whilst navigating issues relating to gender, sexuality or identity. My approach is collaborative and based on evidence which allows clients to develop practical tools for change.

Are you feeling stuck, low, anxious or just not sure how to cope? That what your are going through is just too hard to manage alone? Sometimes an outside perspective is what we need to help us get out of the rut and on to even ground. I work with people who have realised something has to change and are looking for support with how to change it.

We all experience difficult times in our lives. Big life events, traumatic episodes and life transitions can take their toll on our mental and emotional well-being. Trying to navigate our way through our thoughts & emotions with family member's, or friend's opinions in the mix, can really add to the challenge. Choosing to speak with a counsellor allows you to freely explore what's going on without judgement. You have the space to start your process of releasing, unpicking & healing inner battles; repairing and making sense of your world.

My ideal client feels stuck—tired of repeating the same patterns, overwhelmed, and ready for change. They want to improve their health, regain balance, and feel more in control of their life. They’re looking for support that’s practical, evidence-based, and compassionate. They come to me because they’re ready to understand what’s really driving their behaviours and make meaningful, lasting changes that align with who they truly are.
