Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counselling in Glasgow
Many of my clients are students or researchers in academia or industry, but I've helped people from diverse backgrounds with various issues, often around self-esteem, OCD, anxiety and related problems, such as procrastination and perfectionism. I do not use any AI tools in my practice. If you are concerned or experience anxiety or conflict around the increasing use of genAI around you, I will do my best to listen, provide a safe space, and help you manage. Systemic problems can't be solved on an individual level, but mental health support and connectedness can help individuals live better meaningful lives in problematic systems.

We all go through times when life feels challenging, and it’s not always easy to know how to move forward. Maybe you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, or difficult emotions are getting in the way of living the life you want. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s on your mind and make sense of the challenges that have brought you to therapy. I work with a wide range of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and more.

I work from a CBT foundation, integrating approaches such as Compassion-Focused Therapy, ACT, and mindfulness.
It's very hard to suppress your feelings when struggling with a chronic illness that comes along anxiety, perfectionism, shame, anger, and confusion about who you are for yourself, but also in relationships.
Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to understand themselves, the world, others, trying basically everything, from doing their research, listening to podcasts, reaching out to specialists, yet they rely on the same patterns.
Therapy offers a space to look beyond symptoms and explore what may be happening underneath, while developing practical ways of responding to life's challenges.

I work with high functioning adults who appear capable and self assured on the outside, but feel anxious, burnt out, or not enough underneath. Many struggle with attachment anxiety, fear of rejection, people pleasing, or self doubt that shows up most strongly in relationships.
You might find yourself overthinking, worrying someone will pull away, feeling deeply affected by cancelled plans, or swinging between independence and longing for closeness. You may also carry professional pressure and high expectations while quietly feeling exhausted from always holding it together.

We all experience our life so uniquely, that it's impossible to put anyone into a neatly fitted box, that's where I want to work with you to explore your authentic self.

In therapy, we move at your pace, using grounding techniques, mindfulness, and somatic work to help you feel safer, more in control, and more connected to yourself.
You might be someone who looks like they’re coping—holding things together, supporting others—but inside, you feel anxious, shut down, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. You may have a history of childhood abuse, neglect, or sexual trauma, or just a sense that something from the past is still shaping how you feel now. You might struggle with trust, boundaries, or feeling safe in your own body. You want space to understand what’s going on, to feel less overwhelmed or numb, and to start making sense of what you’ve been through. You want to feel more connected to yourself and others—not fixed, but more whole.
