Psychotherapy in Edinburgh and Glasgow

What is psychotherapy for?

We may view it as helping you with the symptoms you are experiencing and which are distressing you. However, this is only the beginning of the the answer into whether counselling and psychotherapy is the best route for you. What are these symptoms expressing, indeed why these particular ones, rather than a set of other equally distressing ones?

  • What we come to very quickly is the person experiencing these symptoms, a person in a world of others, and what it means to be the person you are, and to be suffering in the way you are.

  • Together we are thinking, and feeling, about the relationships in your life from the very beginning, and the meaning you have made of what has happened to you.

  • The therapeutic relationship is there to facilitate this, to allow the person who comes, to recognise the parts of themselves they have put away.  They can then creatively make sense of their lives, becoming more fully alive and more fully themselves.

  • Practicals

    • We would have an introductory session, and then a review after six sessions when we would decide whether or not to continue.

  • I work in both in the centre of Edinburgh and in the West End of Glasgow.
  • The sessions last an hour and the fee per session is £55.
  • I have a broad based practice, and am at ease in the areas of loss and bereavement, adoption issues, sexuality, sexual orientation and in the field of gender issues.

    I am a registered UKCP Clinical Supervisor.

    ‘Each of us is engaged (in the struggle) to more fully come into being as a person whose experience feels real and alive to himself or herself.’
