Integrative Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD
Counsellor and Somatic Trauma Therapist in Cupar, Fife and Online
I offer a confidential and supportive space to help you navigate whatever difficulties
or challenges life is bringing you. I have been working as a therapist since 2011 and in private
practice since 2015.
Welcome
Navigating through life is not always simple. There can be times when it feels particularly hard to find a way through. Choosing therapy is a chance to reflect, take stock and see the bigger picture.
Most of us go through challenging times and difficult changes at some point in our lives. If you are experiencing loss and grief, relationship problems, or shocking and unexpected events, sadness, anxiety or anger may become overwhelming, and you may be struggling to feel OK about yourself. Or you may be feeling stuck, confused or out of balance. Perhaps you feel that your problems are not serious enough for therapy and you cannot work out where these negative feelings are coming from.
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I am interested in how our past experiences may be impacting our current relationships and present circumstances. As a somatic trauma therapist, I am also interested in how these experiences may be showing up in our bodies. I believe in the potential for growth in every experience, even the painful ones, and I am committed to supporting people on this journey of sense-making. You can even bring your dreams (and nightmares) if you choose.
If any of this resonates with you or you would like to ask more about the way I work or how I might be able to help you, I invite you to get in touch. I am based in Cupar, Fife for in-person work and also offer online sessions.

- Breakdowns and crises
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress

What Is Somatic Trauma Therapy and How Can It Help You?
If you’ve ever felt frustrated because you understand your difficulties but still feel stuck, your body may be holding part of the story. Somatic trauma therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that works alongside the mind to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more present in your own life.
Working With Dreams in Therapy: What to Expect
Dreams often express thoughts, feelings, and conflicts that aren’t fully available to us in waking life. If you’ve ever wondered what your dreams might be telling you, therapy can offer a safe and curious space to explore them. No perfectly remembered dream required.
