Initial consultation (20 minutes)
A gentle, no-pressure space to see whether working together feels right.
You can share what brings you here, ask any questions, and get a sense of how I work.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step — this is simply a first conversation.

Neurodiversity
Sometimes it can be useful to explore how you process the world and live in it. It may be that you have a diagnosis, are seeking one or self-identify as autistic; therapy can be a gentle and accepting place to make sense of it. Your identity, masking tendencies, chronic exhaustion or sensory needs are welcome in the room.
Anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout
Sometimes life feels too much, and your mind isn't a nice place to be in. This can feel isolating and as if something isn't working. Particularly when it affects your daily life and relationships. Together, we can find space for the roots of your anxiety and consider what you need.
Low mood, numbness, and self-criticism
You might feel flat, stuck, sad and not know why or constantly ‘not enough’. We can give voice to your experience and listen to your inner critic and those parts of you that feel darker and difficult to look at.
Relationships, family issues, and intimacy
We often form patterns and ways of relating very early in life that tend to repeat with partners, friends, family or at work. We can look together at how you relate, what you yearn for and what gets in the way of closeness, vulnerability or trust.
Identity and life transitions
Figuring out who you are is a lifelong endeavour. We can think together about what brings meaning to your life, how to find life and joy after devastating pain or loss and how to make sense of traumatising experiences.
People-pleasing
You might find yourself consistently putting others' needs before your own, struggling to find your voice and set boundaries, or always caring for or being responsible for everyone in your life. Therapy can be an empowering experience, helping you recognise your needs and find your voice.
Trauma
Trauma can profoundly shape our relationships, changing how we experience trust, safety, and intimacy. Therapy can be a soft place to land, where we can start working towards creating a secure base to rebuild trust in ourselves.
Sexuality and reproductive experiences
I provide a supportive space to explore sexuality, desire, shame, body-related concerns, and reproductive experiences, including abortion, pregnancy decisions, and the emotional layers that can come with them.

My approach
Relational Psychotherapy
Relational psychotherapy is based on the idea that many of our wounds happen in relationships, and a lot of our healing does too. In therapy, our relationship becomes part of the work, where we can discuss what is coming up for us transparently.
I think of it as a mirror of our day-to-day lives, where small interactions may mean something (and may not), and we have the unique opportunity to discuss them without being judged.

How I Work
My work sits in the dialogue between two approaches: person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. Both are grounded in the relationship we build together, and in what happens between us in the room. In practice, that means we pay attention to what’s here in the present, while also staying curious about earlier experiences and unconscious patterns that may be shaping how you feel and relate today.
These are non-directive approaches. You’re in charge of what we focus on. I won’t set the agenda, tell you what to do, or give you emotional “homework” unless you specifically want something practical to take away.
Alongside this, I bring a feminist and social justice lens to our work — holding your inner world and broader context together. Flexibility and curiosity are always prioritised.
I often describe therapy as a psychological road trip: you’re in the driver’s seat choosing the direction, and I’m beside you noticing what unfolds along the way.

Practicalities
What Therapy Usually Looks Like
Every person is unique, and I believe therapy works best when it can be shaped around your needs. I’m committed to being flexible where possible and offering a service that fits you. That said, it can be helpful to know what a “typical” arrangement looks like as a reference point.
In my practice, therapy is most often:
Weekly, ideally at the same time each week
50 minutes per session
Open-ended, meaning we continue until an ending feels right and is thoughtfully agreed upon
£60 per session
Where helpful, we can also talk about adapting things, for example:
Fortnightly sessions
Sessions longer than 50 minutes at an additional price
A time-limited piece of work (a set number of sessions or an agreed end date)
A reduced rate for a limited period, depending on availability

Format of Sessions
I offer therapy in person in Leith and online. Online sessions can be via video call or telephone, depending on what works best for you.
Cancellation & Non-Attendance
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions cancelled within 24 hours are chargeable at the full fee. If you don’t attend your session, the session is also chargeable.
Confidentiality & Ethics
Sessions are strictly confidential, with a few important (but rare) exceptions related to safety or legal obligations. We’ll go through confidentiality clearly in your initial consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
