Counselling in EH10
Gestalt therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach to transformation through connecting to your senses and your embodied experience. Working at depth in this way supports you to understand yourself and others better. It sheds light on new ways forward beyond old patterns.
Experiences like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, struggles with relationships or difficulties at work can feel like blocks to living the life you want.
Facing into such challenging emotions or difficult situations and finding a new way through can be fruitful and is usually much easier when you do it with support.

You might be experiencing a range of different thoughts, emotions or bodily states that you find difficult to make sense of, and that might be unsettling to you. Or you might feel stuck with a specific issue, perhaps something that has come up before that you feel is holding you back.
Whatever might be going on for you, I can support you to gain a better understanding of your current difficulties. In my experience, this can help you to act from a place of self-understanding and curiosity, rather than in reaction to unconscious behavioural patterns that might have once been helpful but no longer feel supportive now.

When you are navigating rehabilitation, it is common to feel stuck. I work with individuals who are physically recovering from an injury but find themselves struggling with the psychological impact. You might be experiencing a fear of re-injury, anxiety about returning to your training, or feeling a profound loss of identity now that your usual routine has been disrupted. Rehabilitation is a slow, often gruelling process. My aim is to help you process these changes, rebuild confidence in your body, and safely cross the final hurdle back to the activities you value.

But underneath, you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you have forgotten what your needs are.

Hello, I'm Lynsey Burns, a therapist based in Morningside, Edinburgh offering in-person and online counselling.
Life can feel overwhelming at times. The coping strategies that worked in the past might not feel effective anymore, leaving us stuck or unsure of next steps. The stories we tell ourselves shape our self-image and how we experience the world and, sometimes, these narratives become limiting or painful, shaped by past experiences or external expectations. We can explore these stories together, identifying the ones that are no longer helpful and creating space for new perspectives.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
