My Counselling Services
Every person’s experience is different, which is why I offer a range of therapy services in Edinburgh tailored to your needs. Below, you can explore the different types of support available.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. It is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Through CBT, I support you to:
- Identify unhelpful thinking patterns
- Develop practical coping strategies
- Build confidence in managing difficult emotions
Integrative Counselling
Integrative counselling allows me to tailor therapy to you as an individual. Rather than using a single method, I combine approaches to suit your unique needs and experiences.
This approach is especially helpful if:
- You want a more flexible, personalised style of therapy
- Your challenges are complex or ongoing
- You prefer a more exploratory and reflective process
Perinatal Mental Health Support
I offer specialist support for individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postnatal experiences, and early parenthood.
This includes support with:
- Postnatal depression
- Pregnancy-related anxiety
- Emotional adjustment to parenthood
- Birth trauma
This is an area I am particularly passionate about, offering compassionate care during a time that can feel overwhelming.
Fertility Counselling
Fertility challenges can be emotionally complex and deeply personal. I provide a supportive space to process these experiences.
Therapy can help with:
- Infertility and treatment journeys
- Pregnancy loss
- Emotional impact of fertility struggles
- Relationship strain during this process
What Can Counselling Help With?
My counselling services in Edinburgh support a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy.
Common areas I support include:
- Anxiety and depression
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Life transitions and identity changes
- Parenthood and family challenges
- Mood disorders
- Personal development
- Men’s and women’s issues
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, we can explore this together during your initial consultation.
A Personalised Approach to Therapy
No two people are the same, and your therapy should reflect that. My work is grounded in understanding you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
I draw from:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Compassion Focused Therapy
- Person-Centred Therapy
This integrative approach allows me to adapt each session to what you need, whether that is structured support, emotional exploration, or a combination of both.
