I offer counselling because I believe in its benefits and I find working with people inspiring. That inspiration comes from my learning about the human spirit, which I know has the capacity to grow in strength, brightness and in any direction it chooses, given the right circumstances.
I qualified as a counsellor in 2012 from Strathclyde University and since then have gained experience working with children, young people and adults in various schools, colleges and charities across Glasgow.
I currently run my private practice from rooms in both Paisley and Thornliebank and also offer telephone and video counselling.
In addition to this, I work for part of the week in a primary school running a small counselling project and offering one-to-one therapy to children under 12. As such, I can also offer private counselling to children under 12 following a play therapy model.
I am also a qualified supervisor and have space to take on new supervisees. As I have vast experience of working therapeutically with primary-aged children, I would be able to provide appropriate supervision to counsellors who work with children.
Therapy works by helping you get to know yourself and about how and who you are in the world. I tailor the way I work with you so that it is bespoke to your needs and goals. Together we can uncover what is getting in your way of a more meaningful life.
Things can change. You can heal and move on.
