my face to face Therapy

Change is possible

I don’t believe meaningful change begins with self-criticism.

I believe people change when they feel safe enough to stop performing and start listening to themselves more honestly.

For many of my clients, one of the first signs of growth is not becoming calmer or happier — it’s becoming more able to disagree, challenge, or speak openly. I love it when a client says: “No, that’s not quite right.”

That tells me they are beginning to trust themselves.

I believe acceptance is foundational. Many people grow up learning that love, safety, or belonging depend on becoming someone else. Counselling can offer a different experience: being accepted as you are, without needing to earn it first.

What we can do together

I hope you will leave counselling with a kinder relationship to yourself.

Not necessarily with all the answers, but with a greater ability to notice when you are being harsh, dismissive, or unkind to yourself — and to pause long enough to ask:

What do I want? What do I need?

Availability

I am currently accepting new face to face clients on Monday and Tuesday afternoons between 1pm and 7pm and on Friday mornings in my counselling room in Causewayside.

I also offer online sessions on a Friday.

Your first session

Before you come to The Edinburgh Counselling Studio

My room is in The Edinburgh Counselling Studio at 136 Causewayside, opposite the National Library of Scotland. There is metered parking in Salisbury Place and Upper Gray Street and costs £4.60 per hour. There is also plenty of public transport.

Please arrive as close to our session time as possible as there is no waiting room. Press the buzzer marked “The Studio” and come up the stairs. I will meet you at the Edinburgh Counselling Studio door. The room is on the first floor, so I’m sorry that I am unable to see wheelchair users or anyone who is unable to climb a flight of stairs (although I do also have online sessions available).

Your first session

I will take you through my counselling contract and give you an opportunity to ask questions. We will then talk about what brings you to counselling.
