Counselling & Psychotherapy Sessions

I provide a relaxing and welcoming space for you, where you will be able to discuss your problems and difficulties in confidence. You will feel respected, understood and we will work together for the changes you want in your life without judgement.

My work can be short term or long term and open-ended allowing therapy to progress for as long as we both feel necessary for you.

It takes time and willingness to get to the root of the issues. We will start to find answers and ways to deal with situations that are important to you and are affecting your life day to day.

Counselling is a process which leads to real improvement, leading to real changes and actual transformations.

Please contact me by email.   We will have a short discussion and then our first session can be scheduled.

Please reach out to me and we can discuss what is best for you and decide on the most suitable path for you.

You can have an appointment slot that is only yours: same day, time, every week. Should circumstances change let me know and I will try to accommodate sessions that are suitable to both of us.

Counselling will be individual to you. Results can only be gained if you genuinely want change. The work and commitment you put in will be worth it.

Confidentiality: Our work is confidential. I follow the 'NCPS Ethical Framework' (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and everything discussed in therapy is private and confidential.

Walk And Talk Therapy

Being outside in the fresh air is great for your mental health

This can help relieve intrusive thoughts/worries which can be related to an underlying condition.  caused by:

·  Stress

·  Anxiety

·  Hormone shifts such as menopause/after childbirth

Technology is great but time consuming. Would you like to take time away from those zoom calls, instant messaging, emails?

I can be joined walking in and around Midlothian surrounded by nature focusing on what is significant to you.

Walk and Talk therapy can help ease stress, anxiety and depression and increase fitness.
