My practice hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

I offer face-to-face and online counselling sessions, and availability can vary. Please contact me to discuss current availability and arrange an initial consultation.

I am a person-centred therapist offering a warm, confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about the issues affecting your life. I work with empathy, understanding and without judgement, supporting you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Rather than offering advice or direct solutions, I work alongside you, helping you gently explore patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour that may be affecting your wellbeing. Through this process, you can develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and a stronger sense of self.

I believe that every person’s experience is unique, and I tailor therapy to your individual needs. Together, we can create a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, respectful and supportive, allowing you the time and space to explore what matters to you.

I offer counselling for individual age 18 and over.

I offer face-to-face counselling sessions in Bearsden and Milngavie, as well as online counselling via Zoom.

There is ample on-street parking nearby, and both locations are easily accessible by public transport.

I support clients with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, abuse, loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, identity, sexuality, spirituality, women’s issues, cultural issues and health-related concerns.

Counselling provides an opportunity to explore your experiences at your own pace within a safe and confidential space. I will work collaboratively with you to understand what has brought you to therapy and support you in making sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Please contact me by email or telephone to discuss availability. If I am unavailable, please leave a short message and I will respond as soon as possible.

The cost of a 50-minute session is £75.

It can be daunting to take the first step into counselling but you’re almost there. I am happy to offer an initial 30 minute free session to establish if we feel we can work well together. This initial session can be over the phone or by Zoom video call. 

My practice hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

I offer relationship therapy face-to-face in Milngavie and online via Zoom. Please contact me to discuss availability and arrange an initial consultation.

Do you and your partner find yourselves having the same arguments over and over again, without feeling truly heard or understood? Perhaps you still care deeply about each other but have become caught in patterns of conflict, distance or disconnection. Sometimes conversations quickly become critical or defensive, while at other times one partner may reach out and the other withdraws.

I’m a BACP Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist with experience supporting people through emotional and relational difficulties. I have developed a particular focus on relationship therapy, working with couples who want to understand what is happening between them and explore whether they can find a more connected way of relating.

I believe couples can become stuck in painful patterns even when both partners genuinely want things to improve. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, I help couples recognise the cycle they have become caught in and explore what may be happening underneath the conflict or distance.

I use Imago Relationship Therapy, a structured, relationship-focused approach. Through the Imago Dialogue, I help couples slow conversations down so that each partner has an opportunity to speak, listen and be understood. This can create space for greater curiosity and empathy, helping couples move away from blame and defensiveness towards greater understanding and connection.

My approach is warm, calm and non-judgemental, while also being structured and purposeful. I work with both partners equally and provide a balanced space where each person can explore their experience and feel heard.

You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or how to fix your relationship. Many couples come to therapy wondering whether things can really change, particularly when the same difficulties have been going on for a long time. Therapy provides an opportunity to pause, understand the patterns between you and begin exploring new ways of relating.

The practice is easily accessible by public transport, with on-street parking available nearby.

Couples sessions are typically 90 minutes and usually take place fortnightly. Sessions provide dedicated time and space to explore your relationship, understand recurring patterns and develop new ways of communicating and connecting.

Further information about Imago Relationship Therapy can be found at www.imagouk.co.uk.

I offer an initial 60-minute introductory session for couples. This provides an opportunity for both partners to talk about what has brought you to therapy, ask questions and learn more about how I work.

It also gives you the opportunity to experience the Imago approach and consider whether working together feels like the right fit for your relationship. There is no obligation to continue afterwards.

If you would prefer to speak with me before arranging an introductory session, I also offer a free 15-minute telephone call. This is an opportunity to ask questions, briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy and find out more about how I work.

My practice hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

I currently offer clinical supervision sessions on a flexible basis and will work with you to find a time that suits your needs. Please contact me to discuss availability and arrange an initial meeting.

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor offering supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors.

As a person-centred therapist, I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where supervisees can reflect openly on their client work, professional development and ethical practice. I work with empathy, curiosity and without judgement, supporting you to explore your therapeutic practice, develop confidence in your own style and maintain safe, effective and ethical standards.

I believe supervision is a collaborative relationship built on trust, openness and mutual respect. Together, we can explore challenges, celebrate successes and support your ongoing growth as a practitioner.

Supervision is tailored to your individual needs, including the frequency and timing of sessions.
