Online Counselling for Edinburgh
I am based in Edinburgh and I can offer individual sessions in person and online short and long term, as well as in English and Italian.
Based on this, I offer a non-judgemental, warm and empathic space in which we could explore together these elements, discovering and identifying alternative prespectives, meanings and narratives as a way to ease from a moment of impasse or difficulty.

Sessions are in person (Edinburgh) or online across the UK and I offer a reflective space tailored to you.
Life can be incredibly unfair, unkind, cruel and traumatic. I’ve experienced first hand the need for compassionate support and therefore offer a supportive and confidential space to explore your experiences. Whether you're feeling overwhelm, isolation, trauma, suicide or seeking change or personal growth, I will walk alongside you. Together, we can work through challenges, foster resilience and embrace your authentic self. As a neurodiverse mental health professional, I understand many of the unique challenges and strengths of diverse minds.

I offer online weekly therapy for people who are ready to move forward.
Together we’ll slow things down, explore what’s really going on underneath, and begin to untangle the patterns that keep you stuck. You’ll be met with empathy, respect, and — when it helps — a touch of humour, because even heavy things can feel lighter with a spark of warmth.

In the busy pace of today's world, it can be difficult to find the time to sit with our thoughts and feelings. It can also be challenging to lay them out before someone else or to speak from the heart without fear of judgement.

I am particularly experienced in online therapy.
Patient. Reliable. Approachable. I’m an experienced Irish psychologist, with a practice primarily focused on relationship difficulties. These create psychological challenges that tend to preoccupy every waking minute of our lives. Our self-understanding is built up through our relationships, through what gets reflected back to us from those closest to us. As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are. Working together, I can support you to rebuild trust in yourself, and make greater sense of the difficult relational reality you find yourself in.

My counselling practice is rooted in the belief that real change grows out of a relationship where you feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. Counselling is a space where it’s enough to arrive as yourself, bringing the worries, uncertainties, and hopes that are part of your story. In our sessions, we’ll create a space where you feel safe to be authentic , and together we will develop a deeper sense of acceptance and understanding – both between us and, most importantly, within yourself. I work from a person-centred, psychodynamic, and somatic foundation.

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 offer appts in-person (in Gorgie), online or telephone.
We have all have experienced painful things in our lives that have left a lasting mark. Sometimes, these experiences lead us to develop maladaptive ways of coping. Although these defences—such as anxiety—are ways that our mind tries to keep us safe, they ultimately lead to further suffering. I can offer a safe and open space to explore your story, challenge maladaptive beliefs and behaviours, and together work towards a place of healing.

I offer therapy sessions in-person and online daytime Monday to Thursday and online on Tuesday evenings.
I have over 20 years experience working in varied settings responding to a range of issues: anxiety, depression, chronic illness, stress, relationship difficulties, bereavement, minority issues, trauma and abuse and end of life care. I've also worked with neurodiversity, and with women's experiences of infertility, IVF and menopause. I aim to build an accepting and trusting relationship where we can generate a practice of gentle curiosity towards whatever is emerging. Through this an understanding of the client’s inner world and its influence over past and present can come into awareness and introduce the possibility of change.

Online Counsellors
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
