My Approach

I work integratively, drawing on Somatic Experiencing®, Psychosynthesis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning Experience (DARe). I bring these together in a way that is tailored to you, shaped by your history, your nervous system, and what you're hoping to change.
As a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I pay particular attention to how experience is held in the body. Lasting healing involves more than insight. It asks for a real shift in how your nervous system responds to the world, which means working at a body level as well as a cognitive and emotional one. I believe this is what makes therapy genuinely transformative, rather than intellectually interesting but not quite life-changing.
The therapeutic relationship is central to everything I do. I create a space that is warm, confidential, and non-judgemental, one where you can bring whatever you're carrying without editing or managing yourself. Therapy is a significant investment of time, trust, and resources, and I take that seriously. Our work together will be purposeful and shaped by what you're hoping for, with regular opportunities to reflect on what's working.
I work with the whole person: mind, body, feelings, and the deeper dimensions of who you are. I have witnessed, again and again, that people are capable of profound transformation even from the most difficult experiences. My role is to create the right conditions for that to happen.
I see clients in person in Leith and Newington, Edinburgh, and online across the UK and internationally. I offer a free initial consultation so we can meet and see whether the fit is right.

About Me

I have been working in the helping professions for over 20 years, with a background spanning clinical psychotherapy, counselling, mindfulness teaching, and emotional resilience training.
My own path of self-exploration has taken me across the globe, including extended periods of study and practice in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the United States. This breadth of experience has shaped an open, curious, and cross-cultural perspective that I bring into the therapy room.
I hold Diplomas in both Psychosynthesis Counselling and Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy from the New Zealand Institute of Psychosynthesis, and I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, trained at the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.
