My practice is based in central Edinburgh however I am currently working online. I specialise in explorative & action based proactive talk therapy aimed at helping you achieve the changes you would like to make in your life & to help you gain clarity & understanding to the life experiences you would like to work with.
I draw upon a number of well established, tried and tested counselling & psychotherapy theoretical practices such as Transactional Analysis & Person-Centred and Sex Therapy. Specialising in relationships, I work with what you would like to explore & help you build a greater understanding about your personal psychology, decision making processes & life goals.
