EDINBURGH PSYCHOTHERAPY
EDINBURGH PSYCHOTHERAPY
WELCOME.
Psychotherapy is a transformational healing process through the use of communication. In principle, it involves two people who collaboratively explore, illuminate and re-orientate an individual's experience of their unique world.
​
Based in Edinburgh, I am a registered counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I practice within its framework of ethical guidelines and standards.
IS PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ME?
THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE CONSIDER THERAPY
​
I provide individual therapy for young adults and adults in Edinburgh, within short and long-term timeframes, depending on what is required. I work to instil self-awareness, using a holistic approach to all cases and the foundation of my work is based on movement towards recovery.
​
If you are looking for support in making important life changes, have a feeling of being stuck or desire a more meaningful and contented existence, then the first step is to carry out an initial engagement to clarify why you seek a psychotherapist and what you are and are not looking for. I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone consultation followed by an initial appointment at a reduced rate for you to ask questions and establish whether I am compatible with your needs.

MY APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELLING
I WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONNECTION WITH THEMSELVES​
​
​
My guiding principles are collaborative patience, compassion, courage and commitment, from which hopes for the work can be met. I provide an environment in which the parts of a person that are rarely seen by others but fundamental to how they interact with their lives, can be freely explored.
​
Practising in Edinburgh, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I practice within its framework of ethical guidelines and standards.
​
I use an integration of therapies and methods, creating a new therapy model for each individual, determined by their nature, willingness for change and what the therapeutic process unearths.
