I have availability to offer appointments on weekdays. 

I may be able to offer you some evening appointments.

I am a fully qualified and dedicated therapist with lengthy experience of providing counselling to individuals. 

Counselling can help with many issues such as, low mood, life changes or crises, relationship difficulties,  difficulties at work, or parts of your past or present which you wish to explore in a safe and confidential space due to traumatic memories and experiences.   I can enable you to explore areas of difficulty which might be holding you back from living a fuller life.

Your counselling sessions would be held weekly in a dedicated counselling space in Edinburgh,  and your sessions are held in a  comfortable and confidential room just off Leith Walk.

I am  psychodynamically trained counsellor, which means that I will pay importance to what might be just our of your awareness.  I am trained to work with unconscious processes, and I am able to work with material from your past which might be impacting you in the present. 

I will also pay importance to how our relationship develops as the sessions unfold.  The aim of this is to bring you greater insight and awareness of yourself and the possible deeper (root) causes of your distress, so that you can live a fuller, more meaningful life.  During your sessions with me it is hoped that you can develop more psychological capacity and can learn better strategies to cope.  You might also develop an ability to think about yourself in relation to others and in the context of your whole life, allowing you to feel better.   There is research based evidence which supports that this approach can enable clients to continue to benefit from counselling after the sessions have concluded.

Counselling will work best for you if you attend weekly and in -person. 

We will agree a contract for working together regularly, this means that you know what to expect from me.

 In your first session I will obtain an account of your personal history/cv.

Your first session lasts approximately one hour and is payable.
