Therapy in Cumbernauld, Airdrie and Online

Therapy that starts with understanding you

You don't need to arrive at therapy knowing exactly what's wrong or what needs to change.

Some people come with something very specific they want help with. Others know that they're unhappy, overwhelmed, repeating the same patterns or simply don't feel like themselves anymore.

We can start there.

Therapy gives us an opportunity to slow things down and become curious about what's actually going on.

Why does this keep happening?

Why do I react this way?

Why do I understand something logically but still feel completely differently?

Why do I keep falling back into the same pattern?

Understanding those things isn't the end of therapy - but it can give us somewhere much more useful to begin.

What is therapy with me like?

My approach is collaborative, active and individual to you.

I'll listen and give you space, but therapy with me is also a conversation. I'll ask questions, share observations and help you make connections between what you're experiencing now and the patterns, beliefs and coping strategies you've developed along the way.

Sometimes I'll gently challenge you. Sometimes we'll look at something from a different perspective. Sometimes we'll use practical strategies to help you make changes outside the therapy room.

And sometimes we'll simply stay with something difficult long enough for it to begin to make sense.

CBT is an important part of my training, but I also draw on other evidence-informed approaches where appropriate.

The important thing is that therapy fits you, rather than trying to make you fit the therapy.

Starting Therapy

The relationship you have with your therapist matters. Before booking a first full session, I offer a free 20-minute introductory consultation.

It's an opportunity for you to tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. There's no obligation to continue afterwards.

Location

I offer face-to-face psychotherapy from comfortable, private therapy rooms in Cumbernauld and Airdrie.

My locations are accessible for people living across North Lanarkshire, and I also welcome clients who choose to travel from Glasgow, Falkirk and surrounding areas.

Online therapy is also available if you would prefer to meet remotely or travelling isn't convenient.

Fees

Individual therapy - £55 per 50-minute session

Free introductory consultation - 20 minutes

The introductory consultation gives us a chance to talk briefly about what you're looking for from therapy and whether I might be the right therapist for you.

There's no obligation to book afterwards.
