Counselling in Fife

I offer EMDR (including Attachment Informed EMDR) and CBT for adults online. I specialise in working with trauma and a range of anxiety issues including phobias, panic and OCD. Online therapy is more accessible than in person and is equally effective. I can meet clients on Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp. If you would like to find out how online EMDR or CBT could work for you please do get in touch via the link and I can provide more information via email or have a chat on the phone.

For Christians I offer a confidential, listening space to assist with any personal issues when it may be difficult to discuss with someone in your church. We can integrate Christianity into the therapy and/or explore why you might have difficulty in relating to God and other people. Issues of self-worth and identity in relation to how God made us can also be explored. For non-Christians, I respect individual views and tailor therapy to individual needs.

I have worked in an occupational health setting for many years which has provided me with a breadth of experience including: • Anxiety • Stress • Depression • Relationship difficulties; both personal and professional • Workplace bullying • Struggles with balancing work and home life • Low self esteem and self worth • Bereavement

Despite supporting those you love, working hard, and being a good friend, you still worry a lot. You want to let go of worry, overthinking, and frustration. You care too much about what others think, make others comfortable at your expense, do the supposed right thing, struggle with the confidence to say no, and don’t listen to your thoughts and feelings. It's hard to say no when you believe it means you're lazy or selfish. You don't want to disappoint people. You may think, “I'm too much to handle” You want peace and confidence. You also want to express your real self and transform your relationships.

My firm belief is that the first meeting is vital to building a good rapport and I pride myself on supporting my clients on their initial phone call, our first meeting and continuing throughout therapy. This allows the person to feel safe, secure and relaxed, whilst exploring their issues from past and/or present. Exploring past or present traumatic events in a clients life is my speciality however some clients may not want to explore past trauma, then the client choice is ultimately important. Client are at the heart of every session and have the right to explore where they feel comfortable.

When life gets hard or distressing and becomes overwhelming its often through counselling we can release that thought-feeling that is upsetting us. Sometimes we need additional supports to help us make sense of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. We often underestimate how events and traumas can affect our perspectives on life and our relationships. Our past life events and perceived future that can have a devastating effect on us, bringing on anxiety and depression. Counselling can help empower you to make changes and build coping mechanisms.

If you are wanting to improve your quality of life, or your motivation, or manage negative thoughts or worries, then get in touch. I will help improve your confidence, manage intrusive or traumatic experiences, face your fears, or manage panic attacks so that you can focus on what is important in life

If you are feeling anxious, depressed or confused about your feelings then you have come to the right place.  The relationship that you have with your therapist is very important to the healing process.  A good therapeutic relationship is built on mutual respect and trust.  It is a relationship where we join together to reach the goals you have.  In each session we will look at the presenting issue(s) and try to untangle them from different angles.  At the end of the session you may be presented with exercises, or "homework", to work on until we meet again.
