About me and my therapy practice

I believe everyone is the expert on their own life. However, sometimes our experiences in life have knocked us so hard that we find it difficult to focus on or cope with anything. That's why I offer a warm, welcoming and safe space for you to talk over any difficulties you are experiencing and the support to help you find your own solutions to a happier way of being.  In addition to my private practice I work with a charity organisation specialising in addictions.  I have a wide range of counselling experience from short, solution focussed Employment Assistance Programme work to longer term complex trauma.  My location is 10 minutes by car or public transport from Haymarket in the west side of Edinburgh.  Easy accessible by car, bus or tram. Parking available.
