Individual Therapy in Edinburgh & Online
A space that's entirely yours
In individual therapy, there's no agenda to follow, no box to fit into, and no pressure to be further along than you are. It's just you, me, and whatever you need to bring into the room.
Maybe you've been carrying something for a long time. Maybe something recently shifted and you're struggling to make sense of it. Maybe you just know that the way things are right now isn't working — and you're ready to do something about it.
Whatever brought you here, this is a space where you don't have to perform, explain yourself, or have it all figured out. You just have to show up.
What is person-centred therapy?
Person-centred therapy is built on one core belief: that you are the expert on your own life. My job isn't to diagnose you, fix you, or hand you a list of things to do differently. My job is to create the kind of space where real change becomes possible — because you finally feel safe enough to explore it.
Sessions are led by you — we talk about what matters to you, not what I think should matter
There's no fixed structure or technique imposed from the outside
You set the pace — there's no pressure to go somewhere before you're ready
I won't give you homework or tell you what to think
Change happens because you find your own answers, in your own time
What we can work on together
People come to individual therapy for all kinds of reasons. You don't need a diagnosis, a crisis, or even a clear sense of what's wrong. Sometimes the only thing you know is that something needs to change — and that's enough to start.
Some of the things I work with
What to expect
The free intro call
Before we begin, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call — by phone or video. This is a chance for you to tell me a little about what's brought you here, ask any questions you have, and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. There's no obligation and no pressure.
Your first session
The first session is a little different from the ones that follow. We'll take time to get to know each other, talk through what you're hoping to get from therapy, and start to build the foundation of our work together. It's normal to feel nervous — most people do. You don't need to prepare anything.
Ongoing sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes and typically take place weekly, though we can discuss what works best for you. Over time, many clients find that the frequency naturally shifts as they start to feel more settled. There's no set number of sessions — some people come for a few months, others stay longer. We'll check in regularly on how things are going.
Practical details
Where
I offer sessions in person in Edinburgh and online via secure video for clients across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

I offer appointments during the week including some evening slots. Get in touch to discuss availability.
How much
Sessions are £65 for 50 minutes. To secure a regular weekly slot, block bookings are available — for example, 4 sessions for £260. A small number of reduced-rate spaces are available — please ask when you get in touch.
You don't have to have it all figured out
A lot of people put off reaching out because they're not sure they're "bad enough" to need therapy, or because they don't know what they'd even say. You don't need to be in crisis. You don't need the right words.

The first step doesn't need to be perfect — it just needs to be yours.
