Profile

I am a qualified Gestalt therapist offering one-to-one therapy & counselling in central Edinburgh.

There can be many reasons for seeking counselling or therapy including relationship issues, loss & grief, depression, anxiety, abuse, life transitions or simply to discover more about yourself and how you relate to others.

I believe that we intuitively know what is best for us as individuals. However, when we encounter challenging situations, our self-knowledge can become obscured. At such times we may feel stuck, angry, dissatisfied, powerless. This can prevent us from moving forward. We may not know what we want. Alternatively, we may know what we want but don't know how to go about getting it. Gestalt psychotherapy is a practical and creative means to understanding ourselves better. The main focus is the development of our holistic awareness, the ways we feel, think and act in our unique circumstances. The therapeutic setting provides the means to gain a fuller understanding of how we function. In turn this helps us to increase our choices about how we want to live our lives.

Whatever your particular circumstances, together we can explore how to use your awareness and understanding of yourself to achieve a more fulfilling future.

Please contact me to discuss your particular situation in complete confidence.
