About Dr Dot

Create lasting change and maintain wellness

Dr Dot believes that there is not a “one-size fits all” when it comes to improving and maintaining our mental health. In 1-1 therapy, she spends time individualising care to meet your needs in line with your specific difficulties and experiences. Her warm, bubbly, compassionate nature will put you at ease straight away. She draws on a combination of evidence-based psychological therapies, which she is highly experienced in, to create lasting change. She aims to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment so you feel comfortable to engage with therapy and work together to reach your goals.

Dr Dot is also passionate about keeping people well and believes that maintenance and prevention is just as important as intervention. In addition to helping people with mental health problems, Dr Dot aims to help people who are keen to work on their mental “wellness”. She is in the process of creating several online courses which you can work through in your own time, when you are on the go or in the comfort of your own home. These will help you build skills in everyday life, e.g. in your relationships, home life and work, to help you survive and thrive in this busy, chaotic world that we find ourselves living in.

Dr Dot believes connection and community are crucial to wellness - she runs outdoor therapy groups in Scotland where you can meet like-minded people, feel less alone and support each other – it is important to find ways to stay mentally healthy together. Get in touch if you are interested in joining one of these. She can also create bespoke training packages for business, teams, schools, etc.

Success Stories

  • "I was having a great deal of stress at work and issues with depression, anxiety, and binge eating. I felt completely lost, was my own worst-critic and had given up on myself. I am so thankful I found Dot and I can’t put into words what an amazing support she has been. I now feel stronger, happier, and more able to cope with life’s difficulties. I also have a much more compassionate relationship with myself and a greater understanding of how my upbringing made me who I am today. Dot is warm, professional and knowledgeable. She has always been empathetic and made me feel understood, paying a great deal of attention to my individual needs and struggles. Dot is truly remarkable and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

    Client YH

  • “Thank you so much for all of your help and support through some of my darkest times. I am very grateful and have learned so many amazing coping skills that I wish I had learned years ago! You said things that I needed to hear and have taught me so much. Therapy with you has been invaluable! Thank you for being so easy to talk to and so kind. It was good to have someone in my corner when I felt really alone. Your new patients are very lucky.”

    Client RD

  • “I spent over 7 years wondering why I kept going back to feeling so bad. I read up loads about how I was feeling, I went to at least 5 different therapists but nothing helped long term. I kept going backwards. When I started with Dot I was in a very bad place and had been for some months. Within a few sessions I started to feel better. At that point I might have stopped and thought ‘Hey I’m fixed’. But I was determined to carry on and get to the root of it all. Dot gently listened and did some exercises with me. At that point I realised what had been wrong. I don’t think if someone had told me this I would have believed them. It had to come out the way it did and take the time it took. I would wholeheartedly recommend therapy to anyone and if you are really serious about it you absolutely have to go to Dr Dot.”
