Throughout the summer I will be available for appointments on Thursday evenings and on Saturdays.

Supporting women through burnout, anxiety, ADHD, loss and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be exhausted from caring for others, struggling with work or family life, or carrying experiences from your past that still affect you today. Perhaps you鈥檝e been telling yourself to 鈥渏ust keep going鈥�, but it鈥檚 becoming harder to cope alone.

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can speak openly without judgement. Together we鈥檒l explore your experiences, helping you understand yourself more deeply and find a way forward that feels right for you.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with empathy, honesty and respect, creating a relationship where you feel heard, accepted and supported.

I have a particular interest in working with women, especially those who have spent much of their lives caring for others. Many of my clients are experiencing burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work, relationships and family life.

I also support people in caring professions, those affected by difficult childhood experiences, family abuse and trauma, women with ADHD, and those navigating pregnancy, pregnancy loss or stillbirth.

Sessions take place in a comfortable counselling room near Byres Road in Glasgow or online. We will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what matters most.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my aim is to offer a calm, welcoming space where you feel safe to be yourself without judgement or expectation.

I work from a comfortable, confidential counselling room near Byres Road in Glasgow, providing a place where you can step away from the pressures of everyday life and focus on what matters most to you. Whether you鈥檙e feeling overwhelmed, struggling with a particular issue, or simply know that something doesn鈥檛 feel right, we will work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that being truly heard and accepted can be the beginning of meaningful change. Rather than offering advice or telling you what to do, I will work alongside you with empathy, honesty and compassion, supporting you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences.

Every person鈥檚 story is unique, so I tailor our work to your individual needs. Some clients come with a clear focus, while others need time to explore their thoughts and feelings before understanding what they need. However you arrive, you will be met with warmth, respect and acceptance.

Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 15-minute introductory telephone call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss what has brought you to therapy and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.

I know that reaching out takes courage, and if you decide to contact me, you will be met with kindness, compassion and a genuine commitment to supporting you.

It鈥檚 completely natural to feel nervous before your first counselling session. Many people worry about what to say or whether they鈥檒l become emotional. Please know that there is no right or wrong way to begin.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We鈥檒l spend some time talking about what has brought you to therapy, what you鈥檙e hoping to gain from our work together, and any questions or concerns you may have. I鈥檒l also explain how I work, discuss confidentiality, and give you the opportunity to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.

As a person-centred counsellor, I won鈥檛 ask you to follow a set agenda or expect you to have everything figured out. You are free to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We鈥檒l move at a pace that feels right for you, with the focus on creating a safe, trusting relationship where you feel listened to, accepted and understood.

Many people leave their first session feeling relieved to have spoken openly in a space where they have been heard without judgement. Beginning therapy is often the first step towards understanding yourself more deeply and creating meaningful change.
