Counselling
in Glasgow
A warm, supportive and confidential counselling service for adults. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or simply stuck, counselling can offer time and space to reflect, gain clarity and work towards change.
A space to be heard
I offer a warm, supportive and confidential counselling service for adults, providing a space to explore what may be troubling you at your own pace. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in mood or simply stuck, counselling can offer time and space to reflect, gain clarity and work towards change.
I work in a way that is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) while being strongly grounded in a person-centred approach. This means our work is collaborative, respectful and focused on what feels most important to you, while also helping to explore how thoughts, feelings and behaviours may be connected.
What I Can Help With
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You do not need to fit neatly into a category to benefit from support.
Anxiety & Panic
Support for anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and generalised anxiety through evidence-based CBT techniques.
Depression & Low Mood
Help with depression, persistent low mood, and feelings of hopelessness using structured therapeutic approaches.
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
Specialised support for obsessive-compulsive disorder and managing intrusive, unwanted thoughts.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma-informed therapy for post-traumatic stress and processing difficult past experiences.
Phobias & Fears
Systematic approaches to overcoming specific phobias and irrational fears that impact daily life.
Stress & Relationships
Support for work-related stress, burnout, and relationship difficulties affecting your wellbeing.
How I Work
The purpose of therapy is to provide a safe, structured and supportive space where you can explore what is difficult, gain understanding and work towards meaningful change. My role is to support you in making sense of your experiences and to help you develop ways of coping that feel realistic and manageable for you.
My work is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and grounded in a person-centred approach. This means that while sessions may include structure, reflection and practical focus, the work remains led by you, your experiences and what feels most important in the moment. Therapy is collaborative rather than prescriptive, and we work together to decide what is helpful.
Sessions are 50 minutes long and usually include a simple agenda. This helps us stay focused and ensures that sessions feel purposeful and value adding, while still allowing flexibility if something important needs attention.
I place strong emphasis on working at your pace. There is no expectation to share everything at once or to know exactly what to say. Many people begin therapy feeling unsure where to start, and this is completely normal.
Confidentiality is a key part of my practice and helps to create a sense of safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship. I work ethically and responsibly and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
If you are unsure whether counselling is right for you, or whether my way of working feels like a good fit, we can always talk first.
