I’m a newly qualified counsellor (BACP registration pending) with an MSc in Counselling from Abertay University. My approach is pluralistic, which means I believe there is no single “right way” to do therapy. Instead, we work together to find what feels helpful, comfortable and meaningful.

I grew up in rural Scottish village before moving to Glasgow, where I now live in the Southside with my partner and our Golden Labrador, Hamish. Moving between different environments and stages of life has shaped my curiosity about identity, belonging and how we make sense of ourselves in the world. An ongoing personal journey.

Before training as a counsellor, I have worked in shops, kitchens, call centres and employability services. These were often fast-paced-target-driven environments that led to burnout and a lack of deeper purpose. That experience played a big part in my decision to move into a helping profession where connection, meaning and personal growth are key. My undergraduate degree in Sociology and Psychology continues to inform my interest in people, relationships and the wider systems we live within.

I believe we are autonomous beings, capable of making our own decisions while at the same time, we are holistic and made up of many contrasting and harmonising parts. Our identities, experiences, thoughts and emotions are always changing. I aim to offer a safe, inclusive space that can be reflective, creative, playful, deep and emotional — whatever feels right for you as we explore your experiences, goals, values and sense of self.

I’m happy to work creatively and adapt therapy to your preferences. I also welcome conversations about topics that can feel taboo or difficult to speak about — including death, sexuality and intrusive thoughts — and I approach these with openness, warmth and acceptance.

I have both professional and personal experience of neurodiversity, and my own journey has encouraged deeper exploration of identity, self-acceptance, and learning about the brain and nervous system. I have a keen interest in working with people who identify as neurodivergent and those within the LGBTQ+ community, though my practice is open to anyone seeking support.

Outside of the therapy room, I love being outdoors — hiking, swimming and walking — as well as travelling and experiencing different cultures. I also deeply value quiet nights in, rest, and like many of us: scrolling social media. I believe balance, self-compassion and curiosity are essential parts of being human, and these values shape how I work with clients.
