Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Glasgow
I offer a calm, reflective space where you can explore what's happening in your life and make sense of how past experiences may still be influencing you today.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we look at the patterns that repeats - in relationships, self-talk and emotions - and begin to understand where they come from and how they can change. Therapy with me isn't about fixing who you are, but about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live with greater ease and self-awareness.

I am an experienced psychotherapist working with people of all ages, to help them towards finding a more fulfilling way of life. My style of working is based on the building up of a trusting and open relationship between us, which is the basis for all our therapeutic work. I believe our experiences as children, whether good or bad, affect us throughout our lives; and by being given the time and space to 'tell our story', we develop more insight into why we are the way we are. These insights then guide us towards finding ways to change what we want to change, and value those qualities in ourselves that are beneficial.

I understand therapy as something that exists within the wider contexts of our lives — the societal pressures we navigate, experiences of identity and belonging, and the systems that can shape the ways we move through the world and the impacts this has on self concept.
I work with a range of client experiences including neurodivergence, identity and sexuality. I'm interested in childhood trauma and the ways we can listen to, understand and soothe our inner child. I can also help with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

I qualified as a CBT Therapist in 2009 & since then I have worked with people on a wide variety of issues including anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, depression, relationships, weight issues, OCD & phobias (including tokophobia, fear of pregnancy & childbirth).
Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Is it all getting too much at times? Do you feel stuck but don’t know how to change? It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where therapy can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but having felt overwhelmed and anxious at times myself, I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.

Perhaps things have become difficult to manage, and the ways you've coped in the past aren't working as well anymore. You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck, or struggling with your confidence, relationships or sense of who you are. Perhaps you're adjusting to a significant change in your life, living with a long-term health condition or chronic pain, navigating bereavement or separation, or trying to understand yourself and your experiences in a different way.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
