Clinical Practice

I am a qualified psychoanalytic psychotherapist. My clinical practice is based in Edinburgh where I work once a week or more frequently with adults.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking therapy that can be a powerful means of exploring and understanding inner obstacles. It can help illuminate unconscious drivers for current behaviours and ways of being in the world. In doing so it can help provide new perspectives on our “here and now” experience by connecting this with its origins in the “there and then”. This gives a greater sense of “knowing oneself”. It can be quite liberating: in terms of reducing distress and alleviating symptoms, and expanding one’s capacity to lead a more engaged and fulfilling life.

This type of therapy can also help if you are:

• Feeling alone with your problems or feeling unheard or unseen
• Encountering relationship difficulties at home and/or work
• Struggling with anxiety
• Experiencing depression, anger, grief or fear
• Dealing with past trauma or abuse
• Having feelings of emptiness or loneliness
• Finding it difficult to make commitments or motivate yourself

I am a registrant of the British Psychoanalytic Council and bound by and committed to their Codes of Ethics and high professional standards.
