Take a breath. What if therapy felt like the one place you didn't have to explain yourself? If you're exhausted from carrying the weight of trauma, isolated by navigating your life as a neurodivergent or LGBTQ+ person, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner, I offer a compassionate and collaborative environment through my practice, Desktop Counselling, where you can show up exactly as you are.

I work primarily with young people (13+) and adults who are experiencing issues around relationships, trauma, anxiety and self-harm. This can involve parental consultation and support sessions where appropriate. I have had success working with young people who may have experience disruptions with attachment, or who are unsure about engaging with a therapist. It is normal for a young person to feel anxious or uncertain when engaging in therapy, and the therapeutic relationship is key to alleviating this to allow progress.
I have a range of therapeutic experience, from school settings, residential settings and adult services.

I am a Person Centred therapist working online and in the greater Glasgow area.
The person centred approach is a non-directive form of therapy and my role as a therapist is not to guide or direct clients, but to provide a safe and judgement-free space where together we can explore whatever is causing you distress or getting in the way of you feeling okay. It is you who knows best what you have experienced and what you are going through. By giving you space to talk through those experiences and be understood, my role and expertise is in helping you build emotional congruence and autonomy to find the right way forward for you.

It's tough opening up to someone but we, via the therapeutical alliance, can create a safe space of trust where there is confidentiality, no judgment and the client feels comfortable sharing.

Trauma- Thanks so much for all that you've done, honestly you've been a saviour to me. Low self esteem- I've realised I'm stronger than I thought. Depression- You've helped me see that I can get the joy back in my life.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I know how difficult it can be to seek help when feeling anxious, low, or stuck, but hopefully this can be the first step on your journey towards feeling better! I realise that many people seek counselling sessions to talk to someone in a safe environment and may not have specific goals for counselling from the outset. Just talking about anything that is distressing you and having an active listener who can offer new perspectives can help you feel so much better.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
