Is life getting you down? Do you feel anxious all the time, stuck in a cycle of stresses, or just trying to figure out who you are and how you fit into the world? I can help.

I won't 'fix' you but you will leave our sessions feeling different because of the work we do together. I work with YOU not a textbook and am straight talking and jargon free. You don't have to have the 'right' words or know what to say, we can figure this out together.

I can offer a safe and non-judgemental space to for everyone but can specifically help you explore addictive behaviours, and identify the root of these. I can draw on my own lived experience of addiction to help you navigate what's going on for you.

I can help you safely and openly explore your own identity or sexuality if this is something that is adding to your everyday stress. As a q***r therapist, I understand these issues only too well. I won't play the expert as I take direction from you, so I will sit alongside you as we explore your situation together and help you be your authentic self.

I have worked on myself over the years and this means that I too am able to bring my authentic self to our sessions.

Therapy can feel scary at first, might even increase you're anxiety in the beginning. I can help put you at ease with an introductory chat, where you can ask the questions you need to.

Sound like we're a fit? Get in touch today to book that call and we can start the work.

Alcohol Focus Scotland has published a new report exploring how alcohol marketing affects LGBT+ people in Scotland, and how the industry’s presence in LGBT+ spaces and events, particularly Pride, is being perceived by the community itself.
