Hi. I’m River, I’m a counsellor, and I specialise in relationships. I also have a keen interest in loss, and in trauma, especially developmental trauma.
I work with individuals and couples, including polyamorous relationships. I welcome clients from the entire GSRD spectrum.
I work in an integrative way, weaving different ways of working into my approach to counselling. I believe each person is the foremost specialist in their own self and life, even if that expertise may feel very dull or distant. It is my role to serve as a tool to help you access your own internal wisdom, and make decisions that best support your chosen path.
My main specialty is relationships, and most of my work is with couples. I can support you to navigate difficult moments in your relationships and find a healthy way forward. My style of work focuses on gaining perspective, building awareness, and acquiring skills that help you achieve positive changes that you have the power to maintain in a consistent way.
I work online with clients all over the UK and Europe, as well as in-person at two locations in Edinburgh. As a first step, I offer an initial consultation, free, over the phone or video call, where we briefly discuss what issues you’re looking to explore in counselling, what your expectations are, and whether we are a good fit to start working together.
