I offer trauma counselling in Edinburgh from 22 Drumsheugh Gardens, EH3 7RN and online across the UK often for medical trauma linked to chronic illnesses or fertility, birth trauma or prenatal or postnatal challenges but I am trained to work with different types of trauma.
Trauma can come with a big T or a little t. Sometimes it is obvious that something has disturbed your innate safety and inner emotional landscape, at other times it can be more complex and confusing to get to the root of what is unsettling you. Together we can process and unpick your internal process bringing more clarity and safety.
I am curious to discover more about your internal world and processes. Through building a trusting relationship we can together seek to understand and explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours-subconscious and conscious. Through this deeper understanding it is possible to decide whether these thoughts, feelings and behaviours are still serving you well. Or whether new directions and ways of being would be more joyful and freeing.
I will not offer advice or solutions but will guide you towards gaining more clarity within your internal world, to support you to make the changes you want to make.
Transactional Analysis talks about the concept of script. That we all have a narrative and way of being which we have learned from a very young age. Together we can discover your personal narrative and understand how it serves you in the here and now.
I specialise in trauma as well as chronic illness and fertility and motherhood because I believe there is a common thread between these specialisms. So often chronic illness leads to medical trauma and struggles with infertility and baby loss can lead to the need to process these potentially traumatic experiences.
I work from my West End Practice at 22 Drumsheugh Gardens, EH3 7RN.
