Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counselling in Linlithgow

Would you find it helpful to explore current or past issues that are causing you distress or difficulty? Do you have a history of complex trauma and abuse, or do you struggle with anxiety on a day to day basis? I have over 20years supervised counselling experience of working with complex trauma, addiction and anxiety. I can come alongside you to help you deepen your awareness of your feelings, thoughts and body sensations, working towards a more integrated sense of self. Creating a safe space for you to explore any deeper underlying issues, and working at your pace, are central to my counselling practice.

People come to see me for a wide variety of reasons and there is no typical client. I see people from all walks of life and with many different issues to address. My aim is to enable clients to express their feelings and explore the issues that affect them in a safe, confidential and comfortable environment. I take a person centred approach and work at the pace dictated by the client.

I am a counsellor with over 20 years experience. I have worked successfully with some of the most complex people in our society. My expertise is working with you to achieve your goals. Through counselling we can release that ‘thought-feeling and behaviour’ that is upsetting. Sometimes we need additional supports to help us make sense of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We often underestimate how events and traumas can affect our perspectives on life and relationships..Together we can empower you to make the changes you desire. I am also an experienced supervisor and worked with students from various colleges and universities

I promote a deep transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional expertise and experience to help you explore whatever is important to you, in a respectful, non-judgemental and open way. In my sessions, I use a positive, holistic and integrative approach to take care of my clients and I work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2015 I have worked with a wide diversity of clients to deal with the many different circumstances that are unique to their lives.

Creating a space for personal growth in therapy begins with the development of a safe therapeutic relationship. My approach offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental active listening space where you can take time to explore your experience. This allows us to work together to define areas that may require our attention first and to check in on how you are experiencing your internal and external environment. Doing this helps to form a clearer picture of environmental, emotional, physical, cognitive, and behavioural events in your experience and how you currently manage and respond to them.

I provide a welcoming and therapeutic environment for adults and young people over the age of 16 who are struggling with a range of mental health difficulties, to help them explore and make sense of the experiences they have had. Through the use of evidence-based psychological therapy I aim to work collaboratively with people to improve their daily functioning and help them build skills to live the life they want to achieve. I use a number of therapeutic approaches in my work including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and systemic approaches.

When you encounter difficult times in our day to day lives it is helpful to be able to talk these through with someone who is trained and objective. To help you explore the issues that matter to you, bringing insight and understanding to enable you to find your way through problems and dilemmas.

Does it lately feel like the odds have been stacked against you? Or are you going through a rough time on the personal front and can’t seem to see even a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel? Would you like to make some concrete positive changes to your life but can’t seem to escape the fog of negativity? Then why not enlist my help to make things happen. I know how stressful high pressured jobs are, how problems with finances can lead to despair and frustration. I know what it feels like when life is spiraling out of control, and I know how to climb out of this cycle of despair. This means that I can help you to do the same.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, life adjustments, relational issues, or other struggles with mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported. The isolation and confusion can feel overwhelming, but as long as you are dedicated to moving forward there is so much hope and so many possibilities for healing.

Are you tired of feeling anxious and depressed? Struggling with a difficult situation? Therapy is an investment in yourself and can enable great change in your life. It would be my privilege to support you in whatever challenge you are facing.

I am interested in people. How we think, feel, and act in relationships, and how we are affected through our lives. I think we always try to do our best, but sometimes we get stuck. I value openness, and I invite you to bring your challenges to therapy where we understand more about what happens. I aim to help you clear a path for better flow in your life and work journey. I value creating a healthy baseline - moving & eating well, sleeping soundly, contact with nourishing people, and living with awareness. I am experienced in Gestalt and Deep Brain approaches - check out: www.relationalchange.org / www.deepbrainreorienting.com

I specialise in working with clients who have experienced Trauma and/or Abuse. Trauma isn't always what did happen, it can be a result of what didn't, lots of us don't get the care, support and safety we should as children. You might struggle with your mental or physical health, it would be normal to experience anxiety and depression, PTSD/cPTSD and as a result might have developed coping strategies like addiction, self-harm or suicidal thoughts which result in guilt and shame. Relationships or parenting might be hard, socialising, dealing with anger or feeling fear that you cant explain, your not alone and its not your fault.

My clients have experienced trauma, neglect, abuse or Adverse Childhood Experiences. Main specialism: Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) & disassociation, depression, NEAD, anxiety, OCD, eating & mood disorders, flashbacks, relationships. Many have multiple diagnosis, underpinned by trauma or emotional "lack". Many have ADHD or ASD. Welcome: students, LGB & poly, ex forces, domestic violence survivors.
