Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Edinburgh
Trained as a Counselling Psychologist, I specialise in multiple therapies, including CBT, psychodynamic, and systemic approaches.
Betrayal from family can be one of the hardest wounds to heal. If you’re thinking about going no contact, or wanting stronger boundaries with family but don’t know how or where to begin. Sometimes emotional ties to the past make it difficult to move forward in relationships or business. Or you may feel a lingering sense of unease when connecting with others, trusting people is hard when you’ve been let down by those closest to you.

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw on EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and relational approaches to shape therapy around you.
You may be living with anxiety or trauma alongside neurodiversity (ADHD, autism) or the emotional shifts linked to PMDD or perimenopause. Perhaps you have learned to mask, adapt or push through, appearing capable while feeling overwhelmed within. Recurring relationship patterns, burnout or self-criticism can follow. Therapy offers a steady space to understand your nervous system, your history and the patterns shaping your present

I use a combination of developmental and cognitive methods to increase your sense of freedom, choice, and positive experience in relationships of all kinds.
You're feeling generally dissatisfied, like you drew the short straw. You make it look not too bad on the outside, yet feel unfulfilled in relationships with lover, family, friends, coworkers. You have concerns about overdoing something (drinking, working, internet), or a generalized anxiety, perfectionism or people-pleasing. I am a highly interactive therapist. I know when to bring in humor—and when to go to the dark places with you. Together we will look at how you got here. Through identifying your beliefs, attitudes and needs around relationships (of all kinds) and intimacy, we will find the key to unlocking your wellbeing.
