My Approach

My primary therapeutic approach is Integrative. This means that therapy is shaped around your individual needs rather than following a single model. I draw on a range of evidence-informed therapeutic approaches, selecting those that are most appropriate for your circumstances, goals, and pace.
Above all, I believe that effective therapy begins with a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My priority is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood, enabling us to explore the issues you are facing together and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

I work online and in person in my consulting room in Elgin, Moray. Lasting change takes place over the longer term rather than the shorter term, and it is usually helpful to consider this when thinking about starting therapy.

Starting psychotherapy can be scary at first, and it is important to me that you are able to talk about whatever you need to. It is important to me that you feel accepted regardless of individual differences.

About Me

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience working across a wide range of mental health presentations. While my specialist area is therapeutic recovery from developmental trauma, I have extensive experience supporting clients with a broad spectrum of psychological, emotional, and relational difficulties.

Alongside individual psychotherapy, I am trained in systemic family therapy and family-based treatment for anorexia. I welcome referrals for individuals, couples, families, and other relational constellations where a systemic approach may be beneficial.

I also hold a Diploma in Clinical Supervision and provide supervision to psychotherapists and allied professionals from a range of therapeutic modalities. My experience spans work with clients across the lifespan and at all stages of psychological development, enabling me to support practitioners working with diverse client groups and varying levels of clinical complexity.
