I believe many people spend their lives performing, surviving, striving, or adapting themselves to meet other people’s expectations. Counselling offers a space to step outside of that pressure and ask more honest questions:
What do I want? What do I need? Is that deep-held belief about myself actually true?
I am a counsellor who helps people slow down enough to hear themselves clearly.
I work particularly well with people who are trying to reconnect with themselves.
You may have spent years:
· striving and achieving without feeling fulfilled
· adapting yourself to meet others’ expectations, perhaps as part of the LGBTQ+ community
· surviving a difficult childhood, relationships, or environments
Many of my clients arrive at a point of transition:
· finishing education
· reaching long-held goals and wondering “what now?”
· recovering from emotionally difficult relationships
· beginning to question the roles they’ve always played
I especially value working with people who are ready to explore themselves more honestly and begin recognising that their own needs, feelings, and desires matter too.
I work in Causewayside, at The Edinburgh Counselling Studio, in a quiet and confidential space, or you can see me online.
All my sessions last an hour and cost £60. First introductory sessions are £30. I have a limited number of discounted spaces available.
When I'm not seeing clients I work for COSCA, Scotland's professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, so you know you are in safe hands.
