Counselling in Inverness

Hello, my name is Lara, and I am a qualified Pluralistic Counsellor. I understand that from time to time life can feel overwhelming. We have all faced unexpected challenges in recent times. It can sometimes feel that there is an increasing gap between the pace of life and our ability to keep up. I aim to provide a welcoming environment, which is safe and non-judgmental. I am an authentic person, who is down to earth. I believe that sometimes we all need to be kinder to ourselves, though for some, this can be a challenge. If so, get in touch and try counselling.

As a COSCA Accredited person-centred counsellor I provide a place of safety and confidentiality where you can discuss openly what is troubling you, a place where you’ll be listened to. It may be that you are stressed, angry, frustrated, anxious, depressed, feeling lost or simply stuck, not sure what to do or how to express how you feel. Maybe you have suffered a loss or a bereavement and need help to find your way of moving on. I will be accepting and non-judgemental of what you have to say and work with you to help you find your answer.

Welcome to Broomfield Psychology, we provide psychology and psychotherapy services to children and families, young people and adults. I am Dr Laura Thomson and I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties and mental health problems. I offer a professional, experienced and effective therapeutic approach and will work collaboratively with you and your goals for change. I have a caring and approachable style and together we can work through the issues that have led you to seek support.

Hi my name is Sam. I work with children and young people. My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable in a familiar surrounding so I always try to work with the child in their own home or school.

Where to begin? How do you choose the right person to work with you? If you want to work with someone who has their own lived experiences, someone who will not only listen without judgement, but will respect your choice to take it at your own speed, then,let's talk. I work with Adults, Children and Young People,using a variety of approaches which are trauma based, also support issues with Anxiety/Depression. I have experience working with Neurodivergent clients. Helping you to make changes in your life whatever the issue. I know it's hard,but you've taken the first step,let me walk with you now and see what we can do together.

Every person is different, which means every treatment will be different too. I provide a range of psychological therapies that will be tailored to meet your needs. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds. Difficulties I work with include (but are not limited to): depression, anxiety, stress (including work, academic, or general life stress), loss and bereavement, panic, OCD, anger, trauma, life changes (e.g. birth, retirement, relationship ending), sexual difficulties, eating disorders, health anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and desire for personal development.

Perhaps you are breaking free of a difficult situation or looking to understand yourself or you actions and relationships better. Maybe you feel depressed, confused, angry or anxious, like you can’t find solid ground or untangle your thoughts long enough to find your way. Sometimes we can get stuck too, unable to move away from a feeling. Counselling can help by offering a calm, safe space for you to talk and explore freely. Give understanding to what’s sitting heavy, what causes you distress. Whether it’s from you past or in your present we can work through at your pace.
