About me
Have you ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating in your life and relationships?
Therapy can be a place to understand those patterns more deeply, and to consider what you might want to change.
I’m Harry, a UKCP-registered psychotherapist. I offer therapy for adults in Edinburgh, and online across the UK.
You may be managing everyday responsibilities while privately feeling anxious, lonely or unsure of yourself. Perhaps you overthink conversations, find it difficult to switch off, or judge yourself harshly. Relationships or family life may feel difficult, or you may simply sense that something needs to change.
I work with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, loneliness and relationship difficulties. My experience also includes grief and bereavement, trauma, burnout, and addiction and recovery. You do not need a diagnosis or a clear explanation of what is wrong to get in touch.
How I work
Our sessions offer space to speak openly and explore what is happening in your life. Together, we can make sense of recurring patterns, understand your relationships and consider what you would like to change.
My approach is collaborative: we decide together what to focus on, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to suit your needs. There is room for both understanding past experiences and working through difficulties you are facing now.
Your first session
Your first appointment lasts 50 minutes and costs £70. We will explore what brings you to therapy, what you hope to get from it and how it feels to work together. We can then discuss whether to arrange further sessions.
Getting in touch
Click “Email me” to enquire about a first session. A few lines are enough: let me know whether you would prefer in-person or online sessions and which days or times usually suit you.
You are welcome to share a little about what brings you, but there is no need to explain everything in your first message. I will reply with my availability and the next steps.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc with Distinction and a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute.
I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am an Individual Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My experience includes private practice, Castle Craig Hospital, Mind, Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, and Ealing Abbey Counselling Service.
I attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
