About me and my therapy practice
Finding someone you feel safe to work with when you have difficult things in your life can seem so uncertain and put you off trying. I want to welcome you, to hear and understand the confusing, frustrating, anxious and hurtful experiences you carry. I will never judge you but rather listen for the deep parts of your heart. I offer a therapeutic counselling space and adjust my way of working to suit your particular need.
I consider each person unique and part of a web of relationships and past experiences that influences their present. Your well-being is my focus and I want to foster a relationship that feels caring and secure for working together in counselling. I take very seriously the trust my clients place in me and know deeply the privilege it is to counsel. I work to provide a safe, confidential space for each person to explore issues and find positive ways forward. We work at your pace toward your goals.
Practice description
As an integrative counsellor, I weave several therapeutic approaches to tailor the counselling to each person’s particular needs, including CBT, Psychodynamic and Person-Centred.
I meet with people face to face or online using Zoom or FaceTime.
As a Christian pastor’s wife, I have 40 years’ experience walking alongside people in their life changes, loss and deep disappointments, baby loss, bereavement, abuse, divorce, crises, traumas, anxiety and core issues of self-esteem, security and significance. Should someone also want to explore the spiritual aspects of the issues they face and how their belief/faith impacts those issues, I am open to help this exploration as well.
I meet with people face to face in Edinburgh on Thursdays or online using Zoom, WhatsApp or FaceTime.
My first session
In the first session I want to learn what has brought you to counselling at this time and hear something of your life context for the issue(s) you face. I want to learn what are your hopes and your expectations for counselling. Lastly, I will explore some things about your mental health. I will explain how I work and the BACP’s ethical framework which underpins this.
