About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor offering 1:1 therapeutic counselling in Edinburgh east. Counselling can give you space to let the things that are troubling you unfold, at a pace that suits you. In my way of being with you I will attune to what is happening for you in the present.

Your counselling sessions are highly confidential and they would be held weekly in my counselling rooms in Edinburgh.

As a Psychodynamic Counsellor I am trained to enable you to explore areas of difficulty in your life which might be holding you back from living a fuller life, this might also include overwhelming feelings such as anxiety, depression, helplessness, despair or parts of your past which you wish to explore in a confidential space.

If you are seeking counselling just now I look forward to hearing from you. We could have a brief introductory call and then we can arrange suitable times for your sessions.

Practice description

My therapeutic modality is in Psychodynamic, which is a type of counselling with with roots in psychoanalytic theory.   The way that counselling will work best for you is if you attend weekly and in -person. A period of time is required for your sessions to enable us to begin working together. 

We will agree a contract for working together regularly, this means that you know what to expect from me, and together we know the practical parameters for working.  

Psychodynamic counselling can be long-term or for a fixed term and can always be discussed between us. 

My first session

Beginning counselling can be a daunting task, however if life continues to be felt difficult or impossible, it could be important to take a first step into talking about what might be behind this difficulty.  In your first session I will obtain an account of your personal history this will be a different session to your counselling as I will ask questions in order to learn about your history. 

Your first session lasts approximately one hour and costs £60.
