I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to work through difficult times and explore patterns that may be leaving you feeling stuck. We take time together to attend to what you are experiencing and what might support greater clarity, ease and a renewed sense of possibility.

Psychotherapy offers space to recognise your inner resources and resilience, and to develop greater flexibility in how you relate to yourself, others and life. My work is grounded in mindfulness, with attention to thoughts and feelings as they arise in the present moment. Together, we might also explore how earlier experiences influence your life and relationships today.

My path into psychotherapy began alongside a career in environmental regulation in Scotland, leading policy work and collaborating with others to improve environmental protection. I trained in psychotherapy alongside this work and began seeing clients in 2012. I became UKCP-accredited in 2016.

Since then, I have supported people with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. My experience also includes work around sexuality, neurodivergence and major life transitions..

Ongoing learning and contributing to the profession are important to me. I recently completed a PhD exploring therapists’ transition from training into practice. I also hold an MSc in Psychological Science from the University of Glasgow, an MA in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapeutic Practice from the Karuna Institute and Middlesex University, and earlier degrees in chemical and environmental engineering.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. We can begin with a twenty-minute phone or Zoom call, then decide whether to arrange a full initial session. If we go ahead, that meeting gives us time to get a sense of what working together might be like. You are under no obligation to commit to regular sessions afterwards, and can take time to reflect before making a decision.
