At times issues and difficulties in your life might be causing you to feel unfulfilled or distressed, or even just a sense of unhappiness within you. Counselling is a process of talking about these issues and working through them confidentially with a Counsellor. Counselling also helps you address your problems in a positive way, enabling you to clarify these issues, explore options and increase self-awareness. I will offer you a confidential time and space to explore all of these in a very supportive way. I aim to work with you in a way which offers understanding, support and enables you have new perspectives.

I see therapy as a process of discovery, healing, and growth. We will explore 'how' you are in relationships, make choices, and co-create your world through embodied dialogue. We will learn and play together. We will look at where you feel ‘stuck’ and what seems ‘difficult.’ We will connect with the embodied feelings and complexities that emerge, making space for deeper understanding and new possibilities.I believe that change happens when we have enough support, when we acknowledge our present situation, and commit to the work. My role is to walk WITH you as you reconnect with your aliveness, joy, spontaneity and creativity.

As a sex therapist, I support individuals, couples, and multi- partners in navigating sex problems, relationship challenges, and anxiety or stress related to intimacy.
Sex is like cooking: a creative, messy process that never turns out quite the same way twice; the pleasure lies in the experience, not in the final result. Yet sex is so difficult to talk about, and for many, sex can feel stressful, painful, or disconnected. You may struggle with desire, performance, or pleasure, longing to feel confident and connected again. Together, we can explore concerns such as desire, sexual pain, vaginismus, orgasmic difficulties, erections, ejaculation, sexuality, sexual confidence, and many other areas with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.

Seeking counselling can feel like a big step. Perhaps a confusing one. Let me tell you a little about myself so that you can decide if I am the right counsellor for you. I have a COSCA accredited Diploma in Person Centred counselling meaning that I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I have a creative, eclectic approach and can bring other models into the counselling room where appropriate such as CBT, small world, gestalt and even music. At the moment I offer on-line and telephone counselling, however, post pandemic would also offer outdoor walking therapy.

I am a psychotherapist and coach working with individuals and couples.
My approach draws on several therapeutic models, and I adapt how I work to each person's needs and preferences. I use two main therapeutic approaches — Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My couples work is guided by my training in Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), which is the IFS approach to working with relationships.

Hi there, my name is Ana and I'm a psychodynamic therapist and supervisor with a special interest and experience in working with those affected by existential issues and a Masters thesis in working with adult children of parents with narcissistic traits. In my client work, I draw on my background in psychology, philosophy and systemic therapy, as well as psychodynamic therapy and attachment theory which looks at the unconscious relational processes between us and finds links between what you're experiencing in the present and your early childhood and family experiences. My supervision approach is both psychodynamic and integrative.

I am an accredited counsellor offering couples counselling and individual therapy in the west end of Edinburgh.
Many adult difficulties—shame, depression, anxiety, mood swings, relationship issues, self-harm, obsessiveness, being overwhelmed—arise from a complex mix of nurture, nature, and fate. Early traumatic experiences like neglect, violence, abuse, bullying, and abandonment can leave lasting scars, leading to feelings of hopelessness in adulthood.

I specialise in working with gender, sexual, and relationship diversity (GSRD), especially queer identities, including work with neurodivergent clients and with couples, throuples, polycules or anyone embarking on non-normative relationship forms.
Life can be complex, placing pressure on our sense of self and relationships. It is natural to feel anxious, angry, depressed, or withdrawn in response, as these are human reactions shaped by our experiences. Coping strategies that once protected us can become less helpful over time, and this is often why people seek therapy. Together we can explore your story, understand what has shaped you, and create space for new meanings and possibilities. I work at your pace, supporting you through the challenges and losses that often accompany meaningful change.

Life abroad can be enriching, but it often comes with challenges that feel overwhelming. Many people seek therapy when they notice recurring patterns that cause them distress, when emotions and thoughts pile up and become unmanageable, or when old coping strategies and the support of friends or family are no longer enough. Sometimes, therapy is simply about wanting to better understand yourself and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship with who you are.
Our approach combines diverse therapeutic perspectives and an understanding of different cultural contexts, offering a broader view of people and their inner experiences.

Your past may have left you feeling unheard, unaccepted, or unseen. Now, you’re ready to reclaim your narrative and live fully as yourself. Whether you're navigating your neurodivergence, exploring your queer identity, or seeking healing from past trauma, you know there's more to life than people-pleasing and feeling stuck. You're craving a deeper, more authentic connection to yourself and others, and you're ready for a therapeutic approach that actually works for you.

There are times in life when what once worked no longer does. You might be living with grief, navigating a major transition, or feeling caught in patterns that leave you frustrated, numb, or quietly exhausted. I work with adults who sense something needs to change, even if they’re not yet sure what that change looks like or how to begin.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read through my page. I'm originally from South Africa, but have lived across the UK since 2016. This has given me the opportunity to develop an insight into how complex life, and our histories, can be, and the impact and difficulties this can give rise to. I draw from a psychodynamic base- understanding the nature and impact both the relationships with others, as well as ourselves, can have. I have experience working with teens - older adults, and tend to offer a more gentle, rather than structured, approach. I strive to develop a space where client's feel safe, protected, and heard.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re living on the outside, different from the people around you? Have you spent a lot of time trying to fit in, working hard to get things ‘right’ or to do what you think you 'should' do, yet feel you're losing yourself and it's still not quite enough? You might notice familiar patterns in relationships, such as overthinking, overgiving, or doubting yourself and it's exhausting. Many people I work with long for spaces and relationships where they don’t have to work so hard. Where they can feel accepted for who they are, even if that is different. If this sounds like you, you're very welcome here.
