About

The person behind Sunny Souls

Therapy is deeply personal — so it matters who sits across from you. Here's a little about me, my approach and why Sunny Souls Therapy exists.

My story

Sunny Souls Therapy grew from a simple belief: that everyone deserves access to warm, professional, evidence-based support — without waiting lists, clinical coldness or judgement. I trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist because CBT combines genuine compassion with tools that demonstrably work.

I work with adults across Clackmannanshire, Stirling and surrounding areas, and online throughout Scotland. Whatever brings you to therapy — anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem or recovery — you will be met exactly where you are.

I have a particular care for people navigating addiction and recovery. I know from lived experience how much courage, honesty and compassion the journey asks for, and I share this only so you can feel genuinely understood. Your story remains the focus of our work, and my personal details stay private.

My philosophy

I believe therapy should feel like a collaboration, not a lecture. You are the expert on your life; I bring the map and the tools. Sessions are structured enough to make real progress, and human enough to feel safe. My aim is always the same — for you to eventually not need me, because the skills have become yours.
