About me

I offer CBT, EMDR and Counselling in Dunfermline for individuals. I also work with couples.

I provide online CBT and counselling for individuals via Skype or Facetime.

I work collaboratively with my clients so that together we can understand what the problem may be and what is stopping you from moving on. By looking at thoughts, beliefs and behaviours I can support you to make the changes you need to overcome current difficulties. I aim to support my clients to thrive in whatever your life circumstances may be and to feel more confident managing any future challenges that may lie ahead.

I have worked as a counsellor for a number of years in different settings. This has given me experience of working with a wide range of issues including addictions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, abuse and trauma.

I am a qualified EMDR therapist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an effective treatment for trauma. Eye movements are used by the therapist (or other stimulations eg. tapping) to trigger the brain's natural process of healing traumatic memories. EMDR is the recommended treatment for trauma in national and international guidelines including the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). EMDR is also an effective treatment for phobias and current anxiety issues. EMDR usually allows change to happen much quicker than with talking therapies, therefore requiring fewer treatment sessions.

I am an accredited member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am a member of BABCP (The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies) and EMDR Association UK & Ireland.
