Autism Counselling in Edinburgh
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.

I am an Integrative Therapist with over 20+ years of practice experience, qualifying in 2002. I have continually added to my professional training and qualifications throughout my career. In addition to 'in person' and 'online' Integrative Therapy, I also provide Clinical Hypnosis as well as Outdoor Therapy. There is no additional cost to combine Integrative Therapy with Clinical Hypnosis. Clients are free to select stand-alone therapeutic services; and/or to combine them. It is always led by client choice. Over the years, I've noticed therapy is most effective with clients willing to work between sessions as well as in sessions.

Thank you for visiting my profile. You may be looking for help with a specific issue, looking for more purpose or clarity in life, more understanding about yourself or maybe you might be confused. Sometimes choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming and despite the qualifications and experience it can be more about finding the right fit between yourself and your therapist.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, trauma or relationship difficulties who want a grounded, collaborative approach. Many people come because they feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns or unsure how to talk about what’s really going on.
I also have a particular interest in supporting men who feel pressure to “hold it together” or find it hard to open up. I offer a steady, non‑judgemental space to make sense of things and feel more in control.

My approach is both LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent inclusive.
Are you feeling anxious, depressed or struggling with trauma/PTSD symptoms? Do you find it hard to be on your own side – never quite feeling enough? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. I provide therapy with adults and young people (12+). I welcome anyone who has felt marginalised or like an outsider. Within Psychology aims to connect you with your Worth, Authenticity, Values, Empowerment and Self-Compassion - WAVES already present within us but perhaps hidden beneath intrusive thoughts & feelings. Change is possible - more ease and self-acceptance, feeling closer in your relationships and doing more of what you love.

I believe we all have the ability in us to make the changes that help us live our lives happier and fulfilled. I am honest, and I will ask questions to challenge you
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and distress about your eating behaviours?
If you feel dread over the next meal or anxiety around food?
Do you reach for food as a reward and then not be able to stop?
Sometimes, past events/trauma can cause a lot of anxiety around food and our behaviour towards food. This can lead to different types of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. What can we do to find peace with ourselves and with food.

I’m also autistic and was diagnosed as an adult, so I have a particular interest in working with late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed and questioning non-neurotypical people.
I work with members of the queer community, helping people in their exploration of identity, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, relationships, family boundaries, shame, trauma or body image. I prioritise justice, open-mindedness, and bringing my real self to my practice. I often work with people with difficult previous therapeutic experiences.

I specialise in helping people with long-standing trauma and anxiety, who feel stuck in patterns of intrusive thoughts, persistent worries, self-criticism, and regret. Often, there are multiple overlapping difficulties that have affected identity, confidence, relationships, or daily life. I work with people who benefit from longer-term therapy, consistent appointments, and an individualised treatment plan that may involve one therapeutic approach or a carefully integrated combination of therapies. So, if previous therapy didn't brought the change you hoped, if you've felt unheard and unseen, you may be exactly who I work best with.

My speciality is relationship therapy for neurodivergent individuals, couples and families alongside neurotypical relationship and family dynamics.
I work with individuals, relationships & all family dynamics - ‘logical and biological’ - stuck communicating safely through conflict and disconnect. We work together to find a compassionate understanding of the challenges you have, how they are impacting you, and strategies to think, feel and be different in them to feel safe and secure. Knowing how to have confident relationships with those around us is how we thrive and this often means learning new ways to talk, act and self advocate within them. Communication is the lever of connection so we will learn new, different or more ways to do this with yourself and/or others.
