Marriage Counselling in Edinburgh
Starting therapy can seem daunting and scary at first. But it's the first step you have taken to embark on this journey. Feeling isolated and not able to make sense of the world around you? Questioning all that you have grown up with? Racing thoughts constantly clouding your mind? Feeling detached, anxious or upset? Not sure how to process what you are experiencing? All this seems pretty overwhelming but more common than you think. Through acceptance and kindness why not allow yourself to be able to make sense of all this through therapy. Let each session speak for itself and discover different parts of yourself.

I work with individuals, couples and families and can help you with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, stress, suicidal thoughts, relationship issues etc.
My aim is to help us build a therapeutic relationship to encourage your empowerment and growth which will help you learn about who you are, how you are in the world and why you have experienced such difficulties in your life. This understanding will hopefully help you begin to trust in yourself and enable you to move forward in a more positive way.

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 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 It is natural to feel anxious, angry, depressed, or withdrawn in response, as these are human reactions shaped by our experiences.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.

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 work as a relational therapist, with individuals, couples and non monogamous groups seeking to resolve differences and conflicts.
Most of us need someone in our lives to feel safe and close to, and who will want that with us. A good relationship is being close enough to feel seen and heard, while having enough space to maintain a sense of agency and choice. But in life that balance is sometimes hard to find or sustain. We get stuck, or feel isolated or frightened. That's when therapy is important, to help you explore relational questions in a safe in judgemental way, to work out what is best for you.
