Is life very challenging at the moment? Do you have difficulties with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, disordered eating or relationships? Are you wanting life to be better but feeling stuck? Maybe you are feeling alone, disconnected and lost as to how to change your unhelpful thoughts, behaviours and relationship patterns. Hi! I’m Morag and I am a warm, empathic and passionate Counselling Psychologist who can help you with this. I have been a Psychologist for 20 years. I value the importance of the therapy relationship and teach strategies to facilitate change.
I use a schema therapy framework to deepen your understanding of your patterns and what keeps them going. Together we work out what your needs are, and strategies will be used and taught to help you get your needs met. Schema therapy is a deep form of therapy and it can produce long lasting change. My other main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I will meet you where you are at on your unique journey and offer you the support that you need to grow and move towards a more optimal and fulfilled life. You don’t have to be alone in what you are going through. I would love to hear from you.

During the initial sessions, I will be getting to know you and your challenges in more detail. Therapy will be tailored to your needs and goals. Most clients can expect to gain a deeper insight into themselves, greater confidence in dealing with challenges, become kinder to themselves and they can expect to see a gradual lifting of symptoms.

I often use schema therapy in my practice. In therapy we will identify your self defeating patterns (schemas). We will work together on times when your schemas get activated and how to prevent or manage these and get your needs met. Therapy involves cognitive, behavioural and experiential strategies. It is a deep form of therapy and it can produce long lasting change.
