Are you constantly battling anxiety, overthinking, or feeling trapped in a cycle of worry? Do you find yourself stuck in a state of permanent fight or flight, struggling to relax, and always anticipating the next challenge? Perhaps you’re experiencing burnout, emotional dysregulation, or feeling exhausted and unsettled without fully understanding why.
Now, imagine a life where you feel in control—navigating challenges with confidence, managing your emotions effectively, and no longer feeling consumed by overwhelming thoughts. What if you could gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, break free from the cycle of stress, and embrace life with a renewed sense of freedom and empowerment?
Has your confidence been affected by bullying, work stress, financial worries, relationship breakdowns, or illness? Do you struggle to say no, feel the need to prove yourself to others, or avoid conflict at all costs for fear of upsetting someone? If so, you may be battling low self-esteem.
Self-esteem is how much you value yourself as a person. Many of us strive to be the best version of ourselves, but unrealistic and perfectionistic tendencies can leave us feeling as though we are never good enough. This constant self-criticism can lead to anxiety, panic attacks, burnout, and even depression, affecting daily life and relationships.
If you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and neglecting your own needs while keeping the peace at the expense of your well-being, I can help you break free.
I want you to know that building confidence and developing assertiveness is entirely possible. I can support you in breaking free from self-sabotaging habits, silencing your inner critic, and uncovering the patterns of negative thinking, limiting beliefs, and fixed mindsets that may be holding you back. Imagine how liberating it would feel to step into a life where you truly belong and feel at ease with yourself.
We are not born with a self-critic—it is something that develops over time, shaped by our upbringing, experiences, and environment. Over the years, we adopt core beliefs about ourselves and the world, often mistaking them for absolute truths rather than perspectives that can be challenged and reshaped. The good news? These beliefs are not set in stone, and with the right support, they can be transformed.
Now is the time to challenge those unhelpful thoughts and reclaim the fulfilling and meaningful life you deserve.

I’m an ambitious, heart-led woman living in Scotland with my family and two beloved cockapoos.
With 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I know first-hand how life can sometimes feel like a whirlwind. We juggle so much – careers, relationships, personal growth – and it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves in the process.
I’ve been there too, and I understand how important it is to find balance and fulfilment. Over time, I’ve learned what works to meet my needs and ensure I’m choosing myself each day so I can pour from a full cup.
Staying active and connected with loved ones helps me maintain balance, whether it’s through gym sessions, leading a walking group, or simply spending time with my family and our dogs.
I’ve also learned how to face tough discussions head-on, both in my own life and while guiding others through theirs. It’s a skill that’s made a huge difference in my relationships, and I’m dedicated to helping others find their voice and navigate difficult moments with confidence.
As a mother and a driven woman, I’ve previously walked the path of prioritising everyone else’s needs before my own. But I’ve learned that true growth comes from taking the time to reflect and care for yourself. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it—for yourself and those around you.
Just as I use my own life lessons to support you through your challenges, you will also learn to embody what you grow through in these sessions. The wisdom you gain will enrich your relationships and influence those around you.
I believe in the power of small, consistent changes. They can transform your life, just as they have mine. I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover your own path to well-being, offering empathy, support, gentle nudges, and honest reflections when needed.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a rigorously researched, evidence-based treatment designed to address a variety of psychological challenges. It operates on the premise that our thoughts, emotions, actions, and physiological responses are closely intertwined.
