I work from Clarkston on a Friday morning with appts available at 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am.

Currently I have availability at 8am or 10am on Fridays for new clients.  

Payment for sessions to be made 48 hours in advance of the session. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will be charged unless there are extenuating circumstances.

My Approach

Psychodynamic therapy uses self-reflection and self-examination along with a focus on the relationships between therapist and client as a way of exploring our way of being in relationships, our patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings.

It is not a symptom focused therapy instead it focuses on how our past shapes our present and potentially, our future. Exploring these echoes of the past, allows insights to emerge, helping you to understand why you feel and behave in a certain way and how this might impact your relationships.

The goal of psychodynamic therapy is to develop a deeper understanding, getting to the root of the issue and providing the opportunity to create long-lasting change. It is a about moving from the learned coping mechanisms which have allowed you to survive towards healthier choices which will allow you to thrive.

How It Works

The psychodynamic process allows you to talk freely about whatever comes to mind, letting things emerge at your pace and then exploring what they mean together.

Is is a subtle, deep and valuable process of exploring, developing awareness and coming to know your inner world. Some clients will come for a few weeks, others months, an some years.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute call with prospective new clients to explore working together.

If you decide to progress with therapy, we will meet face to face on the same day, at the same time for 50 minutes each week.

Payment for sessions to be made 48 hours in advance of the session. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will be charged unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Current availability for face to face sessions in Bearsden:

Monday - 4pm and 5pm
