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.
Welcome
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. Sometimes there is a clear difficulty they want support with, and at other times it is a more general sense that something does not feel right. You do not need to fit neatly into a category to benefit from counselling.
I work with adults and offer support in the following areas.
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. The structure is there to support the work, not to restrict it, and you can adapt this to suit your needs.
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. Part of the process is gently exploring and making sense of things together over time.
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), ensuring that personal information is handled with care and in line with data protection requirements. Any limits to confidentiality will be discussed clearly at the outset.
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. An initial conversation offers an opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what you are looking for and decide together whether therapy feels appropriate for you.

Accessibility
I am committed to offering a respectful, inclusive and non-judgemental counselling service. I aim to provide a space where people feel valued, heard and supported, regardless of background, identity or life experience.
I recognise that everyone’s needs are different. If you have any access requirements or would like to discuss adjustments that may help you engage in counselling, you are very welcome to raise this with me. Where possible, I will work with you to make sessions as accessible and supportive as I can.
If you are unsure whether counselling would be accessible for you or would like to talk through any concerns before starting, you are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.
Professional Registration & Ethics
I am committed to working ethically, responsibly and in line with recognised professional standards.

These organisations set professional and ethical standards for counselling and psychotherapy and require members to practise within their competence, uphold confidentiality and prioritise client wellbeing.
Ethical framework
My work is guided by the ethical frameworks of the professional bodies I am a member of, including principles of respect, integrity, beneficence and non-maleficence. I work within the limits of my training and experience and reflect regularly to ensure the support I offer is appropriate. Where a client’s needs fall outside my competence, I will discuss this openly and support signposting or referral where possible.
Supervision
I attend regular clinical supervision with a qualified supervisor. Supervision provides a reflective space to consider my work, ensure client safety, maintain professional boundaries and continue to develop as a practitioner. Client confidentiality is maintained at all times in supervision, and no identifying information is shared.
Continuing professional development (CPD)
I am committed to ongoing CPD through training, reading, professional reflection and staying informed of current research and best practice. CPD ensures that my work remains informed, ethical and responsive to the evolving needs of clients.
Taking the Next Step
Reaching out for counselling can feel difficult, and it's normal to feel unsure about what to say. You don't need to explain everything or have the right words. Simply getting in touch is enough.
I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours
