I am a Gestalt therapist living and working in Edinburgh.
I offer skilled support to people who wish to work on specific challenges
in their lives, and to those who want to address more deep-seated unhappiness.
I am accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy
(BACP) as a counsellor/psychotherapist. I am certified as a Gestalt psychotherapist
by the Gestalt Associates Training Los Angeles (GATLA).
I work from four primary guiding principles:
- compassion
- respect
- inclusion
- confidentiality
In addition to my private practice, I work at a counselling service for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I also do some short-term Employer Assisted Counselling, and I provide supervision at a bereavement agency. I have particular interests in:
- attachment and loss
- bereavement
- childhood sexual abuse
- depression
- identity
- sexuality and gender
I trained with the Edinburgh Gestalt Institute between 1998 - 2003. In order to maintain and improve my practice, I continue my professional development with the Gestalt Associates Training Los Angles (GATLA).
I am in regular supervision. I have been practicing Gestalt psychotherapy since 2001.
