About me

Whether you find it hard to switch off from racing thoughts or have a critical voice in your mind that’s causing problems with self-doubt, motivation, or time management, I’m here for you.

You might feel anxious, frustrated, or exhausted and your head might be full of "should do" and "must do" thoughts.

If you feel like nothing's ever good enough, overthink whether you're getting things right, feel scared to try new things and put yourself out there, and feel like it's hard to meet the expectations despite how hard you're trying, I've got you.

I offer a friendly ear and a practical mind, and together we’ll work on strategies to address the root causes of your difficulties for you to become more effective at home and in the workplace.

Through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, I can help you understand yourself and your circumstances more fully, recognise and manage your emotions, reframe your thoughts, and communicate more effectively. Sessions are tailored to your needs and goals so that we work in a way that’s valuable for you.

How The CBT Process Works:

Together we'll work through a 12-session CBT plan which will help you understand the root of your problems, change your thoughts and behaviours, which will improve how you feel.

The initial sessions help you understand the problems that bringing you along to therapy, what is maintaining your problems. and where they originated from. Then we'll move onto creating sustainable change where you'll learn to change your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours.

Before we end, we'll create your bespoke "Maintaining Progress Plan" so you can leave our sessions with confidence.

This 12 session plan is evidence-based and recognised by NICE health guidelines.

There is of course the option to add on more sessions if there's more you'd like to discuss or work on.

The 12-session plan costs £997 as a one-off payment or 3 monthly instalments of £399.

Face-Face sessions: Mondays in Edinburgh, EH6 6BZ.

Online sessions: Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Working days: Monday-Friday 8.30am-7.30pm, I respond to emails during these times.

Next steps: Drop me an email to say you're interested in working with me, and I'll guide the conversation from there. We'll have a call before you sign up for anything to make sure the plan is right for you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. Since qualifying, I've provided therapy in community and corporate settings and with people from various cultural and religious backgrounds, and with people with long-term health conditions and disabilities.

My main areas of interest are working with issues surrounding perfectionism, overwhelm, self-esteem, anxiety, and stress. I often provide therapy for busy professionals, those who are in demanding jobs or run their own businesses.

My hopes for you:

My main hope for you is that we get to the root of your problem so you can leave with me with clarity and confidence and meet yourself with compassion rather than criticism.

I also hope that you to feel seen, heard, understood, and supported. I communicate without complicated psycho-jargon, and I am friendly and calm. I go beyond listening, offering you gentle challenges so that you can re-evaluate thoughts and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck in your difficulties so that you can move forward.
