Hello and a warm welcome. Counselling is a process in which a trained therapist can help you to understand and deal with difficult emotions that you may be experiencing. These can be linked with previous difficult life experiences. People often seek counselling when they are going through challenging times in their lives. You may be feeling low, anxious or depressed. I can help you make sense of what is happening and try to help you to find ways of dealing with this.

It is the natural process to shift in and out of moments of light and darkness.
At times, difficulties we carry from the past, or experience in the present, can prevent us from accessing our natural ability to fully and safely experience these shifts, and move forward in harmony.

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and non-pathologising. I work from the understanding that therapy isn't about fixing or optimising yourself, but about finding room to be human in a world that often demands otherwise, acknowledging that much of our distress comes from living in systems that weren't designed for our wellbeing. Therapy is a relational process where healing happens through genuine connection. I aim to create a space where you feel safe and seen, which facilitates clarity, integration, and change.

I see clients weekly for 50-minute sessions, either in person from a quiet consulting room on Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh’s New Town, or online.
Therapy isn't only for people who can't cope. It's for people coping at a cost — the anxiety that won't switch off, the relationship circling the same argument, the ADHD or autism that makes ordinary life harder than it looks.
I offer a calm, confidential space in Edinburgh's New Town to think things through. Together, we'll look closely at learned behaviour that once helped you but now leaves you feeling stuck. Exploring these patterns can help you make different choices. I have a particular interest in working with men navigating the pressures of work, relationships, or fatherhood — experiences that can be hard to talk about.

It’s normal, at some point, to get stuck, or to struggle facing life's challenges. Sometimes we know exactly what’s wrong but at other times we might just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. Therapy can help by supporting you to explore the roots of your distress, understand more clearly what’s keeping you stuck, and create new ways to think about yourself and your relationship roles and patterns. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to problem-solve, make better choices, practise healthier coping strategies, and turn your goals into realities to find a greater sense of peace and fulfilment.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
