I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor offering counselling services to adults and young people. I hold a Diploma in Human Relations and Counselling from Human Development Scotland.

My practice is based in the West End of Edinburgh city and is a short walk from Haymarket station.

My method of practice is Psychodynamic Therapy, a method I have used to help people cope with a wide range of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, stress, major life changes, childhood trauma, bereavement, relationship issues and suicidal ideation. One of the aims of this type of therapy is to attempt to provide you with a deeper understanding of your own mental processes, by listening to you and engaging you in a kind of reflective practice. I would do this by helping you to think about how some of the issues which brought you to therapy might be affecting you and your relationships, past and present. I would also help you to think about where these issues might belong in the narrative of your life. In my experience this sort of reflection leads to a greater understanding of the self in relation to the world. This insight can be the source of real change. With all of this in mind I would aim to help you unburden yourself from a troubling past and to embrace instead a happier, more fulfilling future.

I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone or video call. During this meeting I would aim to hear a bit about what brought you to see me and to discuss how I might help you. We would also discuss scheduling of future sessions and other practicalities should we choose to work together.
