I’ve been working as a psychotherapist since 2015, after completing a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT at Bolton University. Since then, I’ve continued to expand my skills with additional training in EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Mindfulness. This breadth of experience allows me to adapt therapy to suit your individual needs.

 

My path into psychotherapy wasn’t an entirely straightforward one. I originally studied Zoology at the University of Newcastle, before spending 10 years as an account manager in marketing and advertising agencies in Manchester and Edinburgh. Whilst I enjoyed the creativity and variety of that role, it often felt like something was missing. Moving into psychotherapy has been the most rewarding decision of my life. It’s so fascinating and no two days are the same. There’s few things more rewarding than helping someone to overcome issues that have been holding them back and enabling them to reach their full potential.

​

Outside of my work, I love travelling, walking, whitewater kayaking, swimming, netball, reading, and cooking. I’m also a keen gardener with a particular interest in growing vegetables and fruit, despite the various challenges brought by Scotland’s weather. Frost in August isn't unheard of here! Life at home wouldn’t be the same without my loyal companion, Cally, a very bouncy chocolate labradoodle who never fails to bring me joy and laughter.

If you’d like to get a feel for what therapy with me would be like, I invite you to read my client testimonials, which share the experiences of people I’ve supported over the years.

 

If you feel I might be the right therapist for you, please do get in touch. I’d be happy to arrange a phone call so we can talk through your needs and see if we’re a good fit to work together.
