As your therapist, how can I help you?

By taking the time to listen, understand your perspective and really hear what matters to you, we can work together to identify what you’d like to change. From there, we’ll set realistic goals and take things one step at a time.

Therapy is a journey we work through together. I’ll offer support, guidance and understanding along the way, while helping you develop the tools and confidence to understand yourself better, manage life’s challenges and ultimately help yourself.

Everything will be clearly explained to you, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. It is not always easy to contact a therapist, and it can feel even more difficult to put into words the thoughts, feelings or experiences that may be causing distress, discomfort, embarrassment or dissatisfaction.

Please be assured that therapy is a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space. There is no “right” or “wrong” reason to seek support. If something is troubling you or having an impact on your wellbeing, then it is important to you — and that is enough.

If you feel that something is affecting your mental health, everyday life, work or relationships, seeking support can be a positive and worthwhile step. You do not have to wait until things feel overwhelming before reaching out.

My background is a long career in Psychiatry which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed!

As a Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) I’ve worked in many areas and specialities of psychiatric health both in wards and in the Community setting.

Having always had an interest in psychological health, I studied to become an Accredited Therapist in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, achieving my Post Graduate Diploma at the UWS (University of the West Coast of Scotland), which is where I also acheived my Post Graduate Certificate in Drugs and Alcohol.

Working privately in CBT has allowed me to work in a way tailored specifically to individual needs, where my clients have my full attention in the knowledge they have a professional and experienced therapist working with them.

The feedback I’ve received has been really positive and I personally believe in the principals of this talking therapy having seen first hand time and again how helpful and resourceful it has been for so many!
