Hello, I'm a registered, experienced person-centred and psychodynamic psychotherapist working in Morningside, Edinburgh and Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. Have you found yourself stuck, depressed, anxious, struggling to find your sense of aliveness or move forward? Maybe you've experienced a bereavement, illness, painful experience, traumatic event or abuse that has left you with low self esteem, feeling overwhelmed, at odds with your own body or numb. I offer a supportive environment to help you talk about and explore what has happened. I will work with you to help you build understanding and, in time, live your own life more fully.
I offer a warm, safe and accepting space to sift through your turbulent experiences, thoughts and feelings. A space for you to explore your own story with the company of someone else offering their listening, involved and grounded presence to you. I have a specialty in incorporating nature and body awareness into my work. I work outdoors and indoors.
I welcome my clients just as they are, in all the messiness and difficulty. You will not be judged by me. It know it can be hard for people to speak about what has been happening for them and coming to therapy feels nerve-wracking. So I take time to build a trusting safe space with you where you feel comfortable and able to talk, feel and explore.
