Life is full of change, whether we choose it or not. Sometimes change is imposed on us and we struggle to adapt. Sometimes we know we need to make changes in our lives, but we don’t know how.

Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood or depression, or experiencing issues stemming from your childhood or a past trauma. Maybe you are feeling challenged by a transition in your life, or finding personal relationships difficult in some way. Or perhaps you’re simply feeling stuck or directionless in your life. If so, I would be glad to hear from you.

Training and Experience

I'm a fully qualified counsellor with many years' experience helping clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological issues. 

My Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling (with Distinction) is from the University of Edinburgh, where I trained in both the person-centred and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. I am particularly interested in childhood and early life experiences, and how the past impacts us today.

I have been seeing clients in my private counselling practice for over 5 years. Prior to this, I worked as a counsellor in various Edinburgh-based charities, as well as the University of Edinburgh Student Counselling Service and the Edinburgh Crisis Centre.  

I have a particular interest in working with clients who are experiencing difficulties in their sex lives, or who are exploring questions around sex, sexual expression, sexuality and identity. I hold a post-qualifying Certificate in Psychosexual Studies from Tavistock Relationships, as well as training from the Centre for Psychosexual Health in London. 

I offer a warm, welcoming and confidential space for you to talk openly about whatever is concerning you. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can work towards a better understanding of yourself and others. You’ll find me curious, open-minded, perceptive and collaborative. I approach all my work with a sense of hope and possibility.

I work with individual adults aged 18 and over. Clients of all genders, sexualities, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, ethnicities and personal experiences are very welcome. I have a particular interest in men’s mental health.

I work from a therapy room in Edinburgh EH9 (Newington/Mayfield/Southside area). I also offer online therapy.
