ABOUT ME
Welcome to ‘Evolve Therapy Edinburgh’!
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life & Wellbeing Coach and ‘Old Pain 2 Go’ therapist based in central Edinburgh. I offer appointments in person at my private Causewayside therapy room or online via zoom, as well as group sessions in the community and in the work place.
After graduating in 2001, my journey into work began as a dancer and teacher. I was very lucky to have a career that allowed me to travel and work in various countries around the world, and subsequently I found myself in London, Cornwall, Germany and the USA!
Having been away from Scotland long enough, upon returning to Edinburgh, I opened a dance school which I successfully ran for 12 years, alongside lecturing in modern ballet and mentoring trainee ballet teachers.
Throughout this time I also gained my teaching qualifications in Pilates and Yoga, and have enjoyed teaching groups and individuals throughout Edinburgh, West Lothian and East Lothian over the years since then.
I love working with people on a physical level, however I have always felt a strong desire to help people on a deeper and more emotional level. I felt that I could do even more to help people, other than just physically. It was through my own personal experience of anxiety and panic attacks that catalysed my desire to change my career focus.
Having already had personal experience and interest in Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching and Reiki which had helped me tremendously, I realised it was these areas that I wanted to focus on. So I took the opportunity to train in Reiki with the esteemed Victoria Lyons at beautiful Lendrick Lodge, alongside achieving my Clinical Hypnotherapy Diploma, Life Coaching Certificate and Past Life Regression Certificate through ‘Manchester College of Coaching and Hypnotherapy’ under the exceptional guidance of Hazel Thomson. More recently I have also qualified as a talking therapist in Steven Blake’s ‘Old Pain 2 Go’ methodology, helping people gain relief from a variety of pain issues.
Not only has my training and experience allowed me to re-evaluate my own life, and through this follow my own personal development and self-healing journey, but it has also allowed me to help many people and do a job where I gain a great sense of fulfilment supporting others to gain clarity, re-discover themselves, gain confidence and re-discover their inner happiness!
Perhaps you are feeling stuck, dissatisfied, lost and confused in your life, at work or in a relationship. Maybe you have suffered trauma, or a major change in life and are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You may be suffering from difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or are having emotional issues. Perhaps you have just realised that you need to make a change, but don’t know where to start or who to turn to. I am here to support you through your journey and to help you make positive lasting change in your life. I will offer you a friendly and caring ear, a safe and confidential space to work through your concerns, and will help guide you to where you want to be.
Together we can work through your concerns using hypnotherapy, life coaching, talking therapy or Reiki healing, and for those looking to achieve a greater mind-body transformation, or a stronger and more flexible physique, I also offer Pilates, Yoga & Classical Ballet as individual sessions, or as part of a wellbeing programme.
I work with children, young people and adults, and offer appointments during the week and at weekends.
