About me and my therapy practice

I work integratively, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than following a single model. I tailor the way I work to each individual, taking into account your personality, your history, and what you're bringing to therapy.

I work relationally 鈥� I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is central to healing. I also draw on person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive approaches depending on what's most helpful. Sessions are collaborative: you set the pace, and we work together to make sense of your experience.

I work with individuals and couples, in person in Edinburgh and online.

Practice description

I am an integrative counsellor and co-director of Chai Counselling Ltd, based at 1 St Colme Street, Edinburgh. I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and the long-term effects of trauma.

I have a particular interest in supporting Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and Adult TCKs 鈥� people who have grown up across multiple countries and cultures and may find it difficult to feel truly at home anywhere. I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, people navigating major life transitions, and those exploring questions of identity and belonging.

I am a registered member of 麻豆原创 and COSCA. Sessions are available in person in Edinburgh and online. Website: chaicounselling.com

My first session

The first session is a chance for us to meet and for you to get a sense of whether working with me feels right. I'll ask some questions about what's brought you to counselling and what you're hoping for, but there's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. We'll also talk through how we might work together and you'll have space to ask anything you'd like. There's no obligation to continue 鈥� it's about finding the right fit.
