The Edinburgh Counselling Service

You may feel overwhelmed, or stuck, or have lost a sense of who you are. I offer a warm, safe and accepting space in which you can bring whatever feels most pressing to you. I work non-directively and from an integrative approach, which means that rather than adopt one approach, I use a range of therapeutic tools and disciplines, depending upon your unique needs. 

 

We will work at your own pace and explore things in your own time, when you feel ready to. We can work to build awareness of your patterns, relationships and narrative. Our work takes place without judgement and in a kind, calm and supportive environment. Each session is specific to your needs. Some people appreciate structure and tools in sessions, others appreciate more of a free flow exploration of whatever feels most pressing to them. I aim to facilitate your understanding of yourself and work towards your goals at whatever pace you feel comfortable with. 

 

I am flexible and creative in my approach to meet your needs. You are the expert in your own life, and I work with you to help you achieve whatever your goals for counselling may be. I help people identify and understand their vulnerabilities. My goal is that our work together will help you feel like yourself again, or a version of yourself you have always wanted to feel.

​

I have been on both sides of the 'therapy couch', so I know how uncomfortable and overwhelming it is to show vulnerability and to be authentic with yourself and your therapist. I know sometimes it can be difficult to know what to say, and that's okay. Together we will co-create a healing space where you can heal the wounds that are keeping you stuck and become the version of you that you want to be.

 

I work with individuals and couples. Please feel welcome to get in touch should you wish to see if I may be able help you, or if you have any more questions.
