Hi, I’m Ian, a COSCA-registered counsellor based in Edinburgh with availability on Thursday and Fridays.
I provide in person, online and telephone counselling for people facing a range of challenges, helping to foster improved self-awareness, to see parts of the picture you may not have noticed, to facilitate new understanding, and growth — even when this may feel difficult.
I believe being understood, accepted, and valued is central to effective therapy. My approach is collaborative: working alongside you to explore what feels important.
I have over twenty years of experience working with adults in mental health and substance use services (both statutory and voluntary sector). During this time, I have supported many people experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma, often while they were facing complex personal and social challenges.
If you’d like to arrange an appointment or have a chat about what to expect from counselling with me, I’d be happy to hear from you. Our first session will be a chance to get to know each other. You can tell me what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to get from it. This will allow you to get a sense of who I am and how I work.
