Maybe you are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or shaped by earlier adversity.
I specialise in working with neurodivergence, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and relational patterns. I combine cognitive and somatic approaches to understand how your nervous system responds to stress and help resolve what’s happening at a bodily level; not just through insight, but through lived change. Then we can go through the motios together.

Then we can go through the motios together.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-aware, and focused on helping you build clarity, emotional balance, and a more compassionate way of being with yourself.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that don’t make sense anymore. Many of the people I support describe carrying too much, feeling responsible for everyone else, or losing touch with their own needs. You might want clarity, steadiness, or simply somewhere you can say things out loud. You don’t need to have everything worked out. Therapy gives you space to explore what’s happening and make sense of what you need next. We take it step by step, at a pace that feels safe for you.

Do you constantly feel the pressure to be perfect when you set yourself fitness goals? Does the pressure overwhelm you to the point that you can't even get started? Or do you end up trying, failing, and giving up on yourself? Finding yourself stuck in the all-or-nothing mindset with your health, fitness, wellbeing, weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance goals, can leave you feeling frustrated, and like no matter what you do, it's simply never enough. Clients come to me feeling disappointed in themselves for their perceived inability to "just get a grip and get it done", which often leads to low self-esteem and shame.

For any neurodivergent/ Autistic/ AuDHD/ ADHD-ers; if psychoeducation, planning and/ or a cognitive approach is preferred, screen on/ off, moving, fidgeting, all is welcome.

Sometimes the ways we’ve always handled things just aren't enough. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed anxious, depressed, stressed, or are simply disconnected from the person you want to be – but you don’t have to navigate those feelings alone. My approach is rooted in the confidence that you have what it takes to adapt and overcome the challenges facing you. I won’t offer "quick fixes" or give you a label; instead, I offer a non-judgmental space in which you can examine your experiences openly and productively.

I’m also autistic and was diagnosed as an adult, so I have a particular interest in working with late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed and questioning non-neurotypical people.
I work with members of the queer community, helping people in their exploration of identity, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, relationships, family boundaries, shame, trauma or body image. I prioritise justice, open-mindedness, and bringing my real self to my practice. I often work with people with difficult previous therapeutic experiences.

If anxiety, self-doubt or a constant sense of unease has become part of your everyday life, it can feel as though you're always on edge. You might find yourself trying hard to keep others happy, putting your own needs last or listening to an inner voice that is rarely kind. Perhaps difficult past experiences still affect you in ways that don't fully make sense. Some situations might leave you feeling unexpectedly overwhelmed or out of control. Over time, all of this can leave you feeling disconnected; from others, and from your sense of yourself. If this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

Are you finding that everyday life is feeling like a battle? Have you lost the joy for things that previously brought you happiness? Or perhaps you feel that your patience and tolerance is not what it used to be. I see everyday, people who are so busy looking after those around them, they forget to look after themselves, but you will never regret prioritising your mental health. I believe that everyone has the power to overcome life's challenges and discover their true potential. In our counselling sessions, I will help you build resilience, improve your emotional wellbeing, and achieve your goals.

I have worked with clients from varying backgrounds, circumstances and groups, although I have most experience working with anxiety, depression and identity issues. An ideal client for me is one who simply can recognise that they are not happy with the status quo of their life and are ready to face themselves to work towards personal growth. They would be ready to challenge themselves and be ready for the hardships that may bring. They would want to improve their autonomy, their agency and be willing to change their perspective and outlook on life.

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.

Therapy generally can be challenging, discovering ones barriers, patterns of behaviour, amongst many other possible struggles that aren't serving you well in your daily life or that you've been carrying with you for a long time. As a pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I embrace this diversity of human experiences and what each individual brings to the counselling room. I specialise in working with individuals who have experienced abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions and bereavement. Whether seeking support in these areas or others, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore, grow, and thrive.

I am an Integrative Therapist with over 20+ years of practice experience, qualifying in 2002. I have continually added to my professional training and qualifications throughout my career. In addition to 'in person' and 'online' Integrative Therapy, I also provide Clinical Hypnosis as well as Outdoor Therapy. There is no additional cost to combine Integrative Therapy with Clinical Hypnosis. Clients are free to select stand-alone therapeutic services; and/or to combine them. It is always led by client choice. Over the years, I've noticed therapy is most effective with clients willing to work between sessions as well as in sessions.
