About me
Have you reached a point in your life where you are feeling lost, disconnected, or overwhelmed by feelings that you struggle to name. You may be living with the effects of trauma which continue to echo in your present life. The reasons may stem from childhood, chronic stress, or painful life events. You might find yourself always on alert, withdrawing from others, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to change.
As a trauma-informed, psychodynamic therapist, I offer a calm, attuned space to explore these experiences. Together, we’ll look beneath the surface—at the unconscious patterns and emotional wounds that shape your sense of self and your relationships. Therapy can bring relief from symptoms like anxiety, shutdown, or burnout, whilst also offering the chance for deeper emotional healing and lasting change.
I work outdoors in natural green spaces across SW Fife, Edinburgh and South Queensferry. Walk-and-talk therapy offers an alternative to the therapy room—one that can feel grounding, gentle, and less intense. In nature, we can move, pause, sit, and breathe in rhythm with your nervous system. The rustle of trees, birdsong, or simply open sky can offer a soothing counterbalance to inner distress.
This way of working can be supportive for neurodivergent adults, those processing developmental trauma, or anyone navigating change—burnout, menopause, late diagnosis, relationship shifts, or a quiet, growing sense that something needs to change.
You don’t need to have all the words, just the wish to begin. If this speaks to where you are, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
I offer a free 20 minute chat - we can talk about: • What brings you here • What this therapy involves • Whether it feels like a good fit for you. This isn’t therapy — just a calm space to chat, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit. No pressure. No commitment.

Further information
I am working in Dunfermline, Perth, Central & SW Fife and South Queensferry. These areas are full of beautiful paths, woods, beaches and pavement for walking and talking. We could simply agree on a spot and sit outside for our sessions.
There is a huge benefit to working outside in nature. Nature is protecting, whilst walking and being outside provide support for mind and body.
