Person-centred counselling in Edinburgh

My Approach

I firmly believe you are the expert in your own life. I view my role as a person-centred therapist as facilitating you by creating a supportive, non-directive environment where you feel able to begin to explore your emotions and experiences and find a way forward —whatever that may mean for you. I work alongside you, at your own pace, with care and respect.

I offer a non-judgemental, inclusive space that accepts you as you are and welcomes whatever you wish to bring to the sessions. At the heart of my work is the belief that the relationship we build together, based on trust, empathy and acceptance, creates room for you to discover what feels right for you and feel supported throughout your process of self discovery.

Who I Work With

I support individual adult clients with a variety of issues and I would encourage you to contact me to discuss your needs and how I can support you therapeutically. I have specific interest and experience supporting clients in the following areas:

  • Anxiety

  • Addiction

  • Bereavement

  • Carer support

  • Chronic illness

  • Depression

  • Disordered eating

  • Gender and sexuality

  • Grief and loss

  • Identity exploration

  • Life transitions and change

  • Low self-esteem

  • Navigating neurodivergence

  • Relationship issues

  • Self harm

  • Trauma

Coming to Therapy

Deciding to start therapy can be daunting but by reading my website you have already taken the important first steps towards feeling better and taking care of your mental health.

Therapy will look different for every person and I will adapt and meet you and your individual therapeutic needs in our sessions. I offer sessions on a short or long-term basis both in-person and online.

As a starting point and to help you consider if I am the right therapist for you, I offer a free 15-20 minute phone consultation to allow us to introduce ourselves and for you to ask any questions.

Fees

If you decide to go ahead, therapy sessions are weekly and last 50 minutes. Each session is charged at £55 which is payable on the day.

Contact Me

I currently offer in-person sessions from a premises in Leith, Edinburgh on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and from Edinburgh city centre on Wednesday mornings.
