Íø±¬ÃÅ

I’m Matilda and I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ registered psychotherapist and counsellor working in the Forth Valley, just south of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park in Scotland.

I have a therapy studio here in the foothills of the Campsie Fells where we can meet to talk, and I also see clients online.

Life is rarely easy, even if we look like we’re coping. It’s hard to trust our gut, to say no, and to know what we want from life, others and ourselves. There is so much pressure to do and be a particular type of person – the perfect mother, daughter, wife and partner – that it’s easy to lose who we really are in the process. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up and it can feel like an uphill battle just to stay still. We are often unheard and unseen by the people around us, who have a narrative or image of us that bears no resemblance to what we see in the mirror or know in our hearts. Therapy can help strip away the bullshit and help you get in touch with who you really are, what you really want and why, so you can start living the best life for you.

I have extensive experience working with trauma, particularly around sexual and domestic violence, including coercive control and adverse childhood experiences of adult survivors. If this is your experience, this space is here for you with no expectations of what you should do, how you should be or what we should talk about. This is your space to do with what you want.

I am based in Stirlingshire and offer in-person and online sessions with the option of combining both.

I offer long-term, short-term, and open-ended therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £80.

The first session will be either online or over the telephone, and will be free of charge.
