My Approach

In Irish and Scottish Celtic culture, a ‘clachan’ means settlement or dwelling place.
As a psychotherapist I aim to create a ‘safe place’ for families and individuals to come and talk about the themes that are challenging them, those that have brought them to seek therapy.
Together through conversation and perhaps specific therapeutic interventions, I hope that individuals and families will see ‘settlement’ with their situations and within relationships over time.
