I have availability for new clients

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor working with adults and young people.

My approach is grounded in empathy, acceptance and genuine curiosity about your experience. I offer a calm, reflective environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Together, we work towards increased understanding, emotional clarity and personal resilience.

I came into counselling following a significant and challenging event in my own life, which gave me a personal understanding of how difficult it can be to navigate uncertainty, distress and change.

This experience informs my work and allows me to approach clients with authenticity, empathy and respect.

Before qualifying as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I worked for many years in industry and also volunteered in the charitable sector, supporting vulnerable individuals.

These roles strengthened my appreciation of the varied pressures people face and the importance of having a safe and supportive space to talk.

I offer support with a range of concerns including anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship challenges, bereavement, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger and the impact of trauma.

My aim is to help you develop insight, strengthen your sense of self and move towards meaningful, sustainable change.

Alongside my private practice in East Kilbride, I also work as a Counsellor within a large secondary school, supporting young people aged 11–18.

At my counselling room in East Kilbride Old Village, I offer in-person counselling sessions which can be either short- or long-term.

There is ample car parking space in the area and easy access to the local train station and bus services.

Please note the room is located on the second floor and currently does not have lift access.

If you would like to discuss your needs and get a sense of how we might work together, I offer a short introductory phone or online call and respond to all enquiries within 24 hours.

Best Wishes

As part of our first session we will discuss the requirement for future sessions.

I do not ask you to commit to attending a particular number of sessions, though I will ask you to take time to think about what you would like to gain from counselling and if you are happy to work with me going forward.

Counselling can be carried out on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis subject to agreement.

At the present time I have avavilability

Thank you for visiting my Supervisor Profile.

As a BACP Accredited Person-Centred Therapist and Supervisor, my core values of empathy, kindness, and acceptance guide my approach to supervision.

I view supervision as a partnership and a safe space where we can jointly explore your work with clients.

Supervision will be a place of gentle challenge and a source of learning and empowerment, helping you grow confidently in your therapeutic practice within a professional and nurturing relationship.

As part of our initial session I would like us to take time to get to know each other and this time will also be used to understand what you would like to gain from supervision.

As with working as a therapist I believe as a Supervisor the relationship between two people is fundamental for a successful outcome, and I will work with you to try and ensure the relationship flourishes.
