About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor / psychotherapist trained in the person-centred approach. I am qualified to work with individuals and with couples.

​Whatever problems or concerns you’re experiencing, I will offer you compassionate, non-judgmental, and thoughtful support.

I offer both short-term and longer-term sessions, either in person or via Zoom/phone.

I also offer single session therapy the aim of which is to focus on a specific issue with which you're struggling and to put in place a clear plan for moving forward.

Additionally, I offer walk-and-talk sessions on Portobello Beach in Edinburgh.

Training, qualifications & experience

Trained in the person-centred therapeutic approach, I draw also on a range of psychodynamic and existentialist approaches to provide the support you need in exploring the issues with which you’re having difficulties.

I am a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. This means that I work to a set of ethical and professional standards set out in the NCPS Code of Ethics (2023) which is available here: https://ncps.com/about-us/code-of-ethics
