About me
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with nearly 30 years of experience working in the NHS. Over the past decade, I have worked as a Consultant in a number of senior positions but am now returning my focus both within the NHS and privately to the work I personally find most fulfilling: providing quality psychological care to individuals wishing to make a meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, the effects of early life trauma and long-term emotional or relational challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
Having completed my Doctoral training as a Clinical Psychologist in 2004, I have since gone on to work in range of clinical health care settings. This has allowed me to work with a full range of clients. I have completed training in a number of therapeutic models including Schema Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I pull on this wealth of experience to create an individual approach suited to your needs.

Further information
I understand that everyone's experiences are different, so I take my time to get to know you and what matters to you. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we will work together to understand the links between your thoughts, feelings, experiences, relationships and physical wellbeing. From there, we can agree on a plan that feels right for you.
I work out of clinics in both the city of Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. Please get in touch for more information.
