Therapy isn't only for people who can't cope. It's for people coping at a cost — the anxiety that won't switch off, the relationship circling the same argument, the ADHD or autism that makes ordinary life harder than it looks. I offer a calm, confidential space in Edinburgh's New Town to think things through. Together, we'll look closely at learned behaviour that once helped you but now leaves you feeling stuck. Exploring these patterns can help you make different choices. I have a particular interest in working with men navigating the pressures of work, relationships, or fatherhood — experiences that can be hard to talk about.
I see clients weekly for 50-minute sessions, either in person from a quiet consulting room on Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh’s New Town, or online. Some people come for a few months to work through something specific; others stay longer to explore things more deeply. We'll find what works for you.
I offer a free 20-minute video consultation before we commit to anything — a chance to talk through what's brought you here and see whether we feel like a good fit.

I try to help clients see how behaviour that once served them well in the past may be shaping the problems they face in the present. Often we are not fully aware of these patterns, but once we come to see them in therapy, we can engage with our problems in a more insightful way. This approach can help us break out of old patterns and live fuller and more authentic lives.

Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring the client's history and unconscious to better understand their relationships in the present. Person-centred therapy emphasises honouring and uncovering the client's expertise about their own life, and helping them to be guided by it. I'm happy to answer questions on either approach.
