Are things in your life feeling overwhelming? Perhaps you have a niggling sense of unease that you can’t ignore. Maybe you are feeling the weight of an old wound, or looking to find your way through a fresh one. Depression, feeling sad, anxiety, stress, grief, bereavement, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, spirituality, gender or sexual identity, including LGBTQIA+ experiences, are just a few of the reasons that you might be seeking psychotherapy. Whatever you are feeling, you are not alone. And whatever brings you to therapy, you are welcome and deserving of the space to talk.

Life is embodied and movement shapes our interactions in the world. Perhaps you're navigating trauma, sexual and domestic violence, or profound loss, or yearning for your intersecting identities to be understood and honoured. The body, under stress, may respond through illness, physical symptoms, behavioural patterns, and/or emotional difficulties in relationships. Physical and psychological health and intertwined. Through one-to-one sessions or group work, we'll explore the dynamic interplay between body, trauma, and identity, guiding you towards re-forming patterns, emotional regulation, personal growth and development.

Hi, I'm Dr Bekah! I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Feminist Therapist. I specialise in gendered experiences such as birth trauma, perinatal mental health, violence towards women, motherhood, divorce and separation. Most commonly I work with people socialised as women struggling with difficult childhood experiences including emotional neglect, low mood, anxiety, anger, or more general feelings of dissatisfaction. When working with clients I think about patriarchal expectations and narratives and their impact on women (e.g. unequal division of unpaid labour, heteronormative ideals, control of women's bodies, etc).

Our mental health is connected with how we feel about ourselves and our life experiences.

I will not judge you, no matter what you need to talk about. My aim is to help you start to connect with and feel differently about yourself. This can lead to greater self-awareness and acceptance.

Just Human Therapy is a humanist, feminist, LGBTQ+ affirming online counselling service based in Scotland. Going to therapy can feel tough, so I aim to make it as approachable as possible.

Hello, my name is Jo. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling - it is welcome and valued. It could be something major in your life or maybe a sense that you just ‘don’t feel right’. Many people come to counselling because there is something they want to change. This can be challenging and painful, but can also be rewarding and profound. By building a trusting, therapeutic relationship, I aim to support you to make the changes you want in your life. I won’t tell you what to do, but I will help you find what you need. Most importantly, you can do this at your own pace, when it feels safe.

A good Counselling relationship is built on the ability to grow an authentic and confidential space between client and therapist. It is a space where you can bring your difficulties, worries, anxieties, frustrations, feeling sad, family and relationship issues in this space you will experience a non-judgemental and empathic space to reflect on issues that have brought you to counselling. Counselling provides the client with this unique space that is often hard to find in life’s day to day relationships. However, it is not about giving advice or opinions it is about helping the client to find their own solutions.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

We can all find life overwhelming at times - whether we're struggling with life circumstances or events, experiencing relationship problems, emotional difficulties or just feeling stuck.

Life can be stressful and full of uncertainty, so as a Counselling Psychologist I will use a variety of theories from my years of training and beyond to treat you as a whole person who is more than just their struggles, insecurities and pain. Therapy can help you deeply explore your past or give you tools to cope better in the present. It can allow someone else to understand you so that eventually you can understand yourself. I am a relatable and down to earth person and my aim is to make you feel safe, listened to, valued and understood so that you can build self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Have you been feeling lonely and isolated? Have those feelings impacted the way you perceive and connect with the world and people around you? Sometimes you may feel that difficult experiences from your past still haunt you, leaving very little space in your mind to be in the present. And it may feel hard to recognise the way you have been feeling lately. The mood swing, anxious and depressing feelings feel hard to manage. It can be daunting having to deal with confusing feelings and sensations and so much on your won, when you are just trying to be true to yourself.
