Counselling in Inverness

How are you today? Maybe stressed, sad, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, worried, confused? Is it something else? I would like to help you. I specialise in helping others through life's difficulties and finding a way forward. I work online or via the telephone. I've worked with many client issues such as depression, anxiety, family issues, problems in relationships, work stress, low self esteem and confidence.

Whatever the issues you’re facing right now, if they’re clouding your day-to-day life and you want change, we can work together. Even when things seem impossible or bleak, counselling conversations can help you feel better, reconnect with yourself and find hopeful ways forward. I offer a space and an opportunity to explore whatever is going on or holding you back from the life you want, giving you time to think through muddled thoughts and confusing feelings. Our conversations will help you identify and begin to meet your emotional needs and wants, freeing you to live your life more on your own terms.

I am committed to forming a trusting therapeutic relationship, that allows you to feel comfortable and safe in sharing & exploring what has brought you to counselling. This lays a solid foundation for working alongside you at your pace and offering a range of approaches that respect and respond to your needs. I work within a pluralistic framework, where I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches that accommodate your preferences and help work through your difficulties.

Welcome to Authentic Counselling. I am a pluralistic counsellor based in Carnoustie, Angus. As a pluralistic counsellor I hold the view that different things work for different people at different points in their life and that no client's experience is the same. I utilise methods and techniques from a number of different modalities in order to best meet the counselling needs/preferences of the clients whom engage with my service. Recently completed children matters course allowing me to work therapeutically with children from the age of 4. Completed couples counselling course in 2022 building on my experience and range of methods.

I help adults from all walks of life (online or in person). There are four groups that I especially work with: a) students and academics (due to my own extensive academic background), who want to tackle problems that often beleaguer them in their personal (e.g. relationship issues) and professional lives (e.g. perfectionism); b) professionals who are either tackling personal/career problems and/or wishing to engage in self-development; 3) Couples; 4) Clients from an LGBTQ+ background who want a safe space to talk about what is troubling them and to find possible solutions. With all clients I work in an eclectic (pluralistic) way.

I'm interested to hear what's going on for you on the inside. What is getting in the way of you living life fully? What would it look like to become more of your authentic self? Let’s work together to help you overcome challenges, difficulties, hurts, and unhelpful patterns in your life. I am a Clinical Psychologist, providing caring, evidence-based assessment and therapy with a down-to-earth and values-focused approach. I have over 10 years experience in mental health and rehabilitation. (www.AuthenticPsychology.co.uk for more info)

I’m a BACP qualified pluralistic therapist (MBACP) and Mental Health First Aid Instructor (SQA/FAA approved). I work with you to explore challenging experiences; thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may be getting in the way of living the life you want to lead. Therapy can help with many different issues, sometimes uncovering challenges that you were unaware of. Managing difficult thoughts, emotions and behaviours; dealing with a mental health condition such as depression and anxiety; or coping with traumatic experiences and events, therapy offers a safe space to explore, to understand yourself, find ways to cope, and even grow.

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor. My approach to working with you, embraces a collaborative, fluid and integrative perspective that is rooted in empowerment, humanistic and person-centred values. I offer a holistic therapeutic approach to support you to develop and maintain good health and well-being psychologically, emotionally, physically, and energetically. You may be looking to make life changes, develop healthier relationships or heal from life experiences. I consider that every person is unique, as is their, needs, goals and lived experience.

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.

Choosing to take part in therapy can be a daunting experience. It is really important to find someone that you feel you can work with. My philosophy is that the relationship we will create is the key to therapy. The way in which I work is based on the principles of Transactional Analysis. It may be that you are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed and are having difficulty coping. Sometimes people just want to explore how their past continues to influence their present. Therapy can help us understand ourselves more, engage with ourselves and others more positively and move on in our lives.

I am Katie Johnston a neurodivergent counsellor, I enjoy working within a pluralistic framework which draws from different modalities to support clients needs and challenges in therapy.
