Current Availability

I currently have limited availability for new clients.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Glasgow’s West End on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as online counselling across the UK on Tuesdays.

From October 2026, I will also have some Wednesday availability.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call before your first session. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

Please feel free to get in touch to arrange an introductory call or ask about current availability.

You may appear to be coping well on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem or being particularly hard on yourself. Perhaps you put pressure on yourself to get things right, worry about what others think of you, or feel stuck and unsure why the same difficulties keep showing up in different areas of your life.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, low confidence and the emotional impact of earlier life experiences. I also support adults who are diagnosed with ADHD, awaiting assessment, or beginning to explore whether they may be neurodivergent. Many describe feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or constantly questioning themselves.

I believe that many of our present difficulties have roots in earlier experiences and relationships. Ways of coping, protecting ourselves or gaining acceptance that once made sense can continue to influence how we think, feel and relate to others long after they developed.

Using a psychodynamic approach, we can explore these patterns together and become curious about where they may have come from and what may be keeping them going. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the experiences that have shaped you.

As this understanding grows, it can become possible to feel less controlled by old ways of thinking and relating, respond to yourself with greater understanding and have more choice in how you approach relationships, work and everyday life.

You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong or know exactly what you want from therapy. Sometimes simply knowing that something doesn’t feel right is enough of a place for us to begin.

Therapy with me is conversational and exploratory. You don’t need to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong or know exactly what you want to talk about. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you and take time to understand what may be happening beneath the surface.

I tend to be actively engaged in the conversation. I will listen carefully, ask questions and sometimes draw attention to patterns or connections that we might explore together. I won’t tell you what you should do or expect you to follow a particular agenda.

Some sessions may focus on something happening in your life right now, while others may lead us towards earlier experiences, important relationships or ways of seeing yourself that have developed over time. We can be curious about how the past and present connect without assuming that everything has to be explained by your childhood.

There is also room for uncertainty. Sometimes people come to therapy knowing that something doesn’t feel right but finding it difficult to put that feeling into words. Part of our work can be making sense of that together.

Over time, the aim is not simply to understand where your difficulties came from, but to help you recognise patterns as they happen and have greater freedom in how you respond to yourself, other people and the situations you face.

I offer 50-minute sessions face-to-face in Glasgow’s West End and online across the UK.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you have never spoken to a counsellor before or are unsure where to begin. My aim is to make the first session feel welcoming and straightforward.

Our first meeting is an opportunity for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to therapy and what you would like help with. You don’t need to prepare anything beforehand or have a clear explanation of what is wrong. We simply begin wherever feels right for you.

I may ask some questions about what is happening in your life now, important relationships and experiences, and what you hope might change through therapy. This helps me begin to understand you and gives you an opportunity to experience how I work.

There is no expectation that you tell me everything in the first session. Some things take time to talk about, and we will always work at a pace that feels manageable for you.

The first session is also an opportunity for us to see whether working together feels right. You can ask me questions about therapy or how I work, and towards the end we can think together about whether you would like to continue.

The first session lasts 50 minutes and is charged at my standard fee of £65.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with boundaries, fearing rejection or feeling drawn to people who leave you feeling hurt or uncertain? Many people come to therapy knowing something keeps repeating but not fully understanding why.

I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, low self-esteem and patterns that can leave them questioning themselves or feeling stuck. You may find yourself worrying about what other people think, putting their needs before your own, finding it difficult to say no, or becoming anxious when someone feels distant or unavailable.

Using a psychodynamic approach, we explore how earlier relationships and experiences may still be influencing how you relate to yourself and others today. Together, we can become curious about the patterns that continue to show up, where they may have developed and what may be keeping them going.

Therapy isn’t about me telling you what you should do or who you should be with. Instead, it offers a space to understand more about what happens for you in relationships, including feelings, fears and expectations that may be difficult to recognise when you are caught up in them.

As these patterns become clearer, you may begin to understand yourself differently and have greater choice in how you respond to others, set boundaries and approach relationships.

Relationships can affect how we feel about ourselves in powerful ways. Difficulties with a partner, family member or someone from your past can leave you feeling anxious, rejected, angry, confused or unsure of yourself. Sometimes a relationship may have ended, yet the feelings and questions it left behind remain.

You may also notice that similar difficulties seem to follow you from one relationship to another. Perhaps you find yourself trying hard to keep other people happy, struggling to express what you need, becoming anxious when someone pulls away, or staying in situations that leave you feeling unhappy or uncertain.

My approach is thoughtful and exploratory. I won’t tell you what you should do or who you should be with. Instead, we can look together at what happens for you in relationships, including the feelings and reactions that can be difficult to understand when you are caught up in them.

Sometimes this means exploring earlier relationships and experiences and considering how they may have shaped what you have come to expect from other people, as well as what you expect from yourself.

I offer 50-minute sessions face-to-face in Glasgow and online across the UK. Therapy provides a confidential and consistent space where these patterns can gradually become clearer, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and greater choice in how you relate to others.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you have never had counselling before. My aim is to make the first session feel welcoming and straightforward, whether we meet face-to-face in Glasgow or online.

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to be different in your life. You do not need to prepare anything beforehand or know exactly what to say. We simply begin wherever feels right for you.

I may ask some questions about your current situation, important relationships and relevant life experiences to help me understand what is going on for you. If relationship difficulties have brought you to therapy, we might begin to think about what has been happening, how it has affected you and whether there are patterns you would like to understand more clearly.

There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. We work at your pace and focus on what feels important to you.

The first session lasts 50 minutes and is charged at my standard fee of £65.

Next Steps

If you find yourself struggling in relationships or repeating patterns that leave you feeling hurt, frustrated or stuck, please feel free to get in touch to arrange an introductory call.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with boundaries, fearing rejection or feeling drawn to people who leave you feeling hurt or uncertain? Many people come to therapy knowing something keeps repeating but not fully understanding why.

I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, attachment issues, anxiety, low self-esteem and recurring patterns in their personal lives. I also work with adults who are diagnosed with ADHD, awaiting assessment, or exploring whether they may be neurodivergent. Together we can explore how these experiences may affect your relationships, confidence, emotional wellbeing and everyday life.

Using a psychodynamic approach, we explore how earlier relationships and experiences may still be influencing how you relate to yourself and others today. Together we look at the patterns that continue to show up, where they may have developed, and whether they are still serving you.

Many clients find that therapy helps them understand themselves more clearly, relate to themselves with greater compassion, improve their relationships and make choices that feel healthier, more confident and more fulfilling. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.

Relationship difficulties are often about more than the relationship itself. They can involve self-esteem, anxiety, trust, boundaries, fear of abandonment, people pleasing or a persistent feeling of not being valued.

Many of the people I work with find themselves asking similar questions: Why do I keep ending up in the same situations? Why do I struggle to say no? Why do I stay in relationships that make me unhappy? Why do I feel so affected by rejection?

Therapy provides a space to step back and understand the patterns behind these experiences. Rather than focusing only on current problems, psychodynamic therapy explores the deeper influences that may be shaping how you relate to others.

As understanding grows, many people find they become more confident in their relationships, better able to set boundaries and less likely to repeat patterns that leave them feeling stuck or dissatisfied.

I offer one-to-one therapy online across the UK and in person in Glasgow West End.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, particularly when relationship difficulties are involved. You may feel confused, hurt, frustrated or unsure whether you are overreacting to what has happened.

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what has brought you to therapy and how your relationships may be affecting your wellbeing. There is no pressure to have everything worked out or know exactly what you want to say.

I may ask some questions about your current situation, important relationships and personal history to help me understand the bigger picture. We will also discuss what you hope might change and whether my way of working feels right for you.

We work at your pace and focus on what feels important to you. The first session lasts 50 minutes and is charged at my standard fee of £55.
