About me

I am an experienced, Professional Accredited Counsellor MNCS and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner with a passion for supporting people to recover from mental ill health. I currently manage my own private practice focusing on working with adults and young people age 16+, often working with symptoms arising from a wide range of traumatic experiences.

My approach is integrated, influenced by Person Centred and Psychodynamic approaches and may include EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) where considered appropriate. I have successfully used EMDR Therapy to treat psychological and physical conditions such as anxiety, panic attacks, jaw pain and stomach upsets.

I have worked as an associate with an Edinburgh based private mental health practice and Employee Assistance Providers. I have also managed a school based counselling service, supported parents, carers and teachers and counselled children and young people.

My previous experience includes over 20 years in the banking sector in management roles where I survived restructures, recessions and redundancy before retraining as a therapist. My personal, painful life experiences have given me a capacity for deep empathy and compassion for others' suffering. With me you can feel psychologically held, accepted as you are, and experience a healing relationship. I look forward to meeting you.
