Welcome. If you’ve found my website, it’s probably because you feel you might need some help in addressing difficulties or challenges in your life.

Perhaps you’re struggling with grief for someone – or something – you’ve lost, and you’re feeling impatient with yourself that you’re finding it difficult to move on. You may be going through some big changes in your life – or changes that you think are small, but feel big. Or you’re dealing with thoughts or feelings that you just don’t feel able to share with people close to you.

You might realise that you need help with anxiety, stress or depression. Or you might describe what you’re feeling as impostor syndrome, overthinking, struggling to cope, low self-esteem. You could see yourself as a people-pleaser who feels guilty when you even think about prioritising your own wants and needs.

Maybe you don’t even know what’s wrong – but you know you’re unhappy, or unsettled, at the moment and want to do something about it.

I’m a counsellor working online and outdoors, near Edinburgh in East Lothian. If you’re ready to take the first steps toward learning to like yourself a bit more, I can help you:

• find ways of listening to your inner child;
• increase your resilience by paying attention to your emotional, mental and physical needs;
• improve the relationships you have with others AND YOU.

If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for here, please contact me. Please note that I don’t operate an emergency service – if you are in acute distress right now, please contact:
