ABOUT ME: - I am a member of the ITA (Institute of Transactional Analysis), which is itself a member organisation of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). - I adhere to the ITA Code of Ethics, the Ethical Code of the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA) and, also, the strict supervision requirements of the UKCP. - Having obtained an MA (Honours) degree in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh in 1998, I have over ten years of experience of working in the voluntary sector with people identified as having learning disabilities and mental health issues. - Considerable experience with a variety of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, anger management, self-harm, eating disorders, phobias and work with couples. - Currently undergoing advanced training and professional development through the Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Institute (CPTI), which is located in the Newington area of Edinburgh. Private practice now well-established in Leith. HOW DOES IT WORK? - All kinds of people can benefit from counselling, or psychotherapy, whether they are feeling distressed, or unwell, experiencing relationship difficulties, or simply wish to improve certain aspects of their lives. - Potential clients will be offered a 30-minute assessment session which is free of charge. The purpose of this first session is to establish whether the client(s) and counsellor wish to work together. - At the end of the assessment, should we reach agreement to begin a course of treatment, a deposit of £10 is required towards the cost of the first session. This deposit covers my room hire costs in the event that you either cancel, or fail to arrive for your first session. - Thereafter, clients will be required to pay for all subsequent sessions which will last for 50 minutes (80 mins for couples, 60 mins for e-counselling sessions). Those with limited funds may be able to agree the low income rate by prior negotiation. - A friendly and professional service provided in an atmosphere of warmth, trust and acceptance. - For further details and to arrange an assessment, feel free to get in touch.
