A little about me.

I’m a psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis, who specialises in working with women and couples navigating periods of change, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I sit on the committee of the Scottish Transactional Analysis Association (STAA).

​

Life transitions can quietly unsettle everything; relationships, identity, confidence, and your sense of self. You might be feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or carrying the weight of a difficult childhood into adult life.

 

For some, this shows up in motherhood; for others, in relationships, work, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right.

 

You don’t have to manage it alone.

​

Since 2022, I’ve worked primarily in the voluntary sector, supporting unpaid carers, alongside many years of experience working with autistic children, adults, and their families. This work has shaped how I practice, with sensitivity to trauma, nervous system overwhelm, and the long-term impact of growing up without feeling fully seen or safe.

​

At the heart of my work is creating a space where you can slow down and be met without judgement or expectation. A place to untangle what feels heavy, understand the patterns that keep repeating, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside.

​

My approach is relational, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. Using Transactional Analysis, we explore how your early experiences shape the way you think, feel, and relate, to yourself and to others. Whether you’re coming alone or as a couple, our work is about building awareness, strengthening emotional safety, and supporting meaningful change.

​

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you make sense of your story, so you can move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.

Sessions​

I primarily offer long-term, exploratory therapy for those who want to work at depth. Looking not just at current difficulties, but at the patterns, relationships, and early experiences that continue to shape your life.

 

For some people, a shorter, time-limited focus (such as a 12-week block) can be helpful. We can talk together about what feels most appropriate for you, and this can be reviewed as our work unfolds.

​​

Appointments cancelled less than 72 hours will still need to cover the full cost of the session.

Contact
