I can offer therapies who struggle PTSD, OCD, codepency, GAD depression and panic attack.

Utilising my multi-disciplinary training, I am able to tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each client, rather than requiring clients to adapt to a pre-determined model.

You are just feeling fed up with self-doubt and rumination; and you are worrying about your continual procrastination and your escape from opportunities in life. You feel like you are finally ready to move forward. I understand what it feels like when encountering emotional issues and stress in life. I embarked on a journey of self-exploration, which has allowed me to feel, see and find what I am passionate about in life. I am dedicated and feeling grateful in collaboratively assisting YOU in overcoming your doubts and thus having YOUR potential unleashed FULLY, be it in your life journey, career development and relationships.

I have 20 years NHS experience providing psychological therapies, managing also a crisis team and liaison psychiatry service. I can offer psychodynamic therapy which is emotional and embodied. This is attachment-informed EMDR integrated with IFS ‘parts’ therapy. This approach creatively interweaves trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. I trained at Goldsmiths College; and with the University of Kent and clinically with the NHS; and also with a Jungian analytical training. Emdr combined with IFS is the best therapy available today. We are not removing symptoms we are loving and befriending all of you.

Welcome. I am a qualified counsellor and chartered psychologist with years of experience working with individuals and groups. I offer psychotherapeutic counselling, online or in Morningside, within easy reach of central Edinburgh. Apart from counselling, I have over 25 years' experience of university teaching and research in psychology, which has enriched my practice. I can help with relationships, personality issues, cultural adjustment, gender, identity, anxiety, bereavement, stress, sexuality, self-esteem, and existential crisis.

As a Counselling Psychologist and Specialist Couples Therapist with nine years experience working with individuals, couples and groups, I work based on the principle that therapy is not a one size fits all approach. I am able to call upon a number of therapeutic models to tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of my clients, with the overall aim of achieving specific goals. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgemental environment where clients feel encouraged to take an active and collaborative role in their treatment.

Hi there, my name is Ana and I'm a psychodynamic counsellor specializing in parental narcissism and existential issues. If you feel stuck in a loop or unable to find joy in life, I can offer my curiosity, empathy, and insights to help you find meaning in your experience. To do this, I will often draw on my background in psychology and philosophy, as well as psychodynamic therapy which looks at the unconscious processes between us and find links between what you're experiencing in the present and your early childhood and family experiences. On top of this, I use a systemic lens when working with families.

The first session is the opportunity to hear what brings you to therapy. We will assess the level and the impact the difficulty you are facing has on your life. This will create a baseline that we use later to monitor progress. We will then focus on finding out what would you like to gain from our work together. Often my client knows what they do not want, identifying what they would like to change is harder, and my role is to help you with that. Studies show, that awareness of your needs, is the first crucial step in the process of change.
