Our clients come to us at turning points — carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, or the sense that something isn't right. Many have lived across cultures and struggle to feel at home anywhere. We work with individuals, couples, and families — including intercultural couples, Korean-speaking clients, and Third Culture Kids. We offer integrative therapy in English and Korean, in person in Edinburgh and online. Specialisms include anxiety, addiction, trauma, cross-cultural relationships, pre- and post-marital counselling, and LGBTQ+ affirming practice.
Chai Counselling offers integrative therapy — drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, and relational approaches, adapted to what each client actually needs.

At Chai Counselling you'll be met with warmth, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to understanding your story. We believe that feeling truly heard — in your own language and from within your own experience — is where real change begins.
