My Approach

My main three approaches are: Gestalt, EMDR and Mindfulness.

I can work flexibly using various approaches or strictly with one. My couples work is very relational mostly rooted in Gestalt therapy, but also in EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy).

I work with individuals and couples in person and online. My online fees are reduced due to working from home.

About Me

I am an experienced Gestalt psychotherapeutic counsellor and EMDR therapist working with individuals and intimate couples.
Whether you are seeking growth and development for yourself, a better life as a couple, or coping strategies and insights in your life and/or your relationships, I can help you to fulfil your potential, see possibilities and connect with your significant others in a more satisfying way.

I am respectful, direct, matter-of-fact and perceptive. I can also be practical and concrete and offer many useful tools and practices in emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual dimensions.

If you are interested in working together, my practice is based in the southside of Edinburgh, Causewayside, and I also offer therapy online at reduced rates due to working from home.

  • Couples
  • Groups
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I have a special interest in exploring and establishing healthy boundaries that can help you thriving in relationships with people you care about.
I am working relationally with anxiety to help you regulate your nervous system and find more peace in day to day life.
In couples work I am guided by Gestalt's perspective on relationships, as well as EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy). I help you to de-escalate conflict and recognise unhealthy dynamics by finding more compassion, where you can hear and see each other more clearly.
I practise EMDR therapy which can be very effective for single event as well as more complex trauma. It is a highly specialised trauma therapy recognised by National Institute for Care and Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) for PTSD.
As a Gestalt and trauma therapist I am interested in working together to heal past relational traumas and clarify your needs so you can build more confident and nurturing connections with people in your life.
