As a lover of the outdoors, I often think of the therapeutic experience as a garden. It’s a safe, warm space full of colour, where we can seek out our hidden dark corners, our rough weedy patches that need some more care. We’ll spend time exploring and digging, examining what we find, and sometimes planting anew. I’ll challenge you sometimes, but I’ll let you set the pace.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, so I work with a range of techniques but based around a core theoretical framework drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT approaches. I enjoy working creatively, with images, stories and myths. I will work across both thoughts and feelings, mind and body.

At the Salisbury Centre I offer a blend of ecotherapy and traditional ‘in-the-room’ work. I work flexibly with both the room and the lovely garden space at the Centre, allowing clients use of both. So, if you want to work indoors one week and in the garden another, that is fine – we’ll be led by your intuitive needs (and, sometimes, the Scottish weather). I am experienced working with diverse presentations of trauma, depression and anxiety, as well as relational problems. I am also experienced in working with neurodiverse clients.
