Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I work with both children & adults and have a keen interest in working with those who have experienced complex/relational trauma with or without self harming/suicidal behaviour. I work with a variety of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression. I also work with couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship and work towards understanding the emotional conflicts, that result in the relationship being strained or likely to end without support. There is no one size fits all therapeutic approach and so I place importance on developing a shared understanding of what the core emotional issues are that impact you.

Is “trying to do everything perfectly” getting in the way of actually living your life? Since you're here you probably feel: more overwhelm and anxiety than you can manage anymore, like you’re never good enough despite your list of achievements, and exhaustion from overthinking and trying to keep it all spinning. If others would say “you have it all together”, but you know that you’re trapped in a swirl of your own negative thoughts, anxiety, and harsh environment of your mind, you’re in the right place. I help perfectionists & high-achievers overcome anxiety, reduce overwhelm, and finally manage their perfectionism effectively.

I specialise in supporting individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they truly are. You may find yourself wanting to move forward in life, yet something keeps holding you back – whether that is chronic procrastination, self-doubt, or a fear of getting it wrong.
You might struggle to trust yourself, question your decisions, or feel overwhelmed by the pressure to meet expectations – your own or others’. Over time, this can leave you feeling lost, lacking confidence, and disconnected from your authentic self.

You might find yourself overthinking a relationship, questioning what you feel,
or going over the same situations again and again, even when you already sense something isn’t right.
You may feel anxious, drained, or unsure of yourself, as if you’re stuck in patterns you recognise but can’t quite shift.
This can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, or caught in ‘what’s wrong with me’ cycles, even when you’re trying to do the right things.

I’m a coaching psychologist based in Edinburgh. I work with a small number of high-performing individuals navigating growth, pressure, or psychological inflection points — professionally or personally.
I offer a discreet, bespoke coaching service — sometimes through monthly engagements, or intensive on-call days. This is not therapy, but a strategic psychological partnership.
Together, we co-create a space where our relationship and the work you want to do is held safely, from a place of deep care. I use a theoretical coaching approach, working on your current and future life. Deep listening helps, as does challenge.
