Available Counselling in Bonnyrigg
Many of the people who come to see me are adults with ADHD who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood, self-critical, or quietly exhausted. Often, they have been diagnosed later in life and are trying to make sense of their past - relationships, work patterns, emotional struggles - through a new lens. Outwardly, they may appear capable or high-functioning, yet internally feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or disconnected from themselves. What they want is not just strategies, but understanding, relief, and a way to live more kindly with who they are.

I'm available most weekdays and in the evening.
Do you feel like you’re always holding it together for everyone else, but no one’s really there for you? You might be feeling burned out, stuck, or overwhelmed — whether from a lifetime of putting yourself last, coping with a major loss, or carrying unspoken grief.
Perhaps you grew up in a family where emotions were ignored or tightly controlled, making it hard now to speak up for yourself, trust your feelings, or ask for help.
I help adults who feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally worn down to reconnect with their inner voice and reclaim a sense of self-worth.

Feeling stuck? Is anxiety or low mood affecting your life? People usually come to therapy when they feel that they no longer have the ability to deal with the difficulties they are experiencing. When the previous ways of coping and support by friends and relatives are not enough to offer them the solutions and relief they seek. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to talk about any issues you might have. I will listen to your story with compassion and help you find your own solutions, whether that is making effective changes in your life or change the way you view yourself, others and experience relationships.

Perhaps you feel stuck, disconnected from who you are, or unsure how to begin. I work well with people who find relating hard, who want a safe, steady space to explore at their own pace. Art psychotherapy is inclusive and adaptable; you don’t need art skills, just curiosity and a wish for change.

Trauma can include life-threatening events or simply moments where you were overwhelmed and felt helpless. A troubling or terrifying event has an impact on the whole person – it is held in the body, changes ways of thinking, and often comes with an overwhelming set of emotional and behavioural responses. At times, these changes and responses are unhelpful and seriously affect people’s quality of life and their ability to move forward. Working together, we explore and come to understand your current responses. We identify tools that you can use to rebuild your life in a way that works for you.

Deciding to come to therapy can feel like a big step, sometimes fuelled by a discomfort in everyday living, a sense that things aren't quite right, anxiety that doesn't dissipate. There may be problems in relationships, issues of self-worth, trauma, feelings of loss and grief. In the midst of every day life many of these feelings can be difficult to properly grasp; they may arise 'out of the blue', feel unacceptable, they shift around; at times feeling more pressing than at others. In our sessions, my intention is to create a safe space, developing a relationship which is open and trustful and where all feelings are legitimate.

At times it can feel we’re holding everything in and feel unable to talk to anyone, or there’s a lot going on and we need the space and time to process it. We might be reflecting on events from the past and thinking about how they might have impacted us, or that we’re struggling with anxiety, depression or fluctuations in mood. I can provide the safe and supported space for us to explore what’s going on for you and find ways of moving forward that feel right.

Are you struggling? Perhaps you feel you’re stuck and fear your're going round in circles. Sometimes we need support to make sense of our lives, find our way back, forward or sideways. Sometimes, we need someone else to hear, understand us and be alongside us on our journey, to help us see the broader view. Perhaps you’ve had or are having a hard time but don’t know how to change or even if that’s possible. But you hope for something different, for growth as all living creatures do, in the same way new growth reaches for the light. Whatever it is, life is inevitable and change is possible even if it doesn’t feel that way just now.
