Online Counselling for Scotland
I have experience in working successfully with a very varied client group: trauma, PTSD, depression,anxiety,grief,parental support,anger,obsessive compulsive disorder,self-harm and eating disorders.
I’ve always been driven by a desire to promote positive change, in more recent years I have become particularly interested in Neuroplasticity - our brain's ability to change and adapt, to learn and unlearn, for example it has the ability to unlearn negative behaviours, thought patterns and responses and learn new ones in their place. We can train or re-wire our brain to change its structure and teach it to function in different ways.

At times issues and difficulties in your life might be causing you to feel unfulfilled or distressed, or even just a sense of unhappiness within you. Counselling is a process of talking about these issues and working through them confidentially with a Counsellor. Counselling also helps you address your problems in a positive way, enabling you to clarify these issues, explore options and increase self-awareness. I will offer you a confidential time and space to explore all of these in a very supportive way. I aim to work with you in a way which offers understanding, support and enables you have new perspectives.

Sometimes what we need most is a place where we don’t have to hold everything together.
You don’t have to arrive with the right words or know exactly where to begin. Whatever has brought you here, you will be met with warmth, acceptance and thoughtful attention, and we can explore what matters to you at a pace that feels right.
Being deeply listened to has a way of helping us hear ourselves more clearly.
At the heart of my work is a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity and genuine acceptance, where understanding can gently emerge, bringing greater clarity about yourself and your experiences.

I believe mental health is just as important as physical health, the two are intricately bound together. In a non-judgemental, warm and supportive environment, I will help you to understand where the problems you are experiencing have arisen. We will work out why they have become so problematic and hard to deal with. I will help you to find strategies to cope better and tools to help you unpick patterns and to move on in your life, feel stronger and more content. As with any problem, the sooner it is acknowledged, the sooner you can begin your recovery. This is true of emotional and physical issues, as well as practical.

Perhaps you’re here because life feels overwhelming, or you have the sense that you’re not good enough or even that you’re ‘too much’. Whatever has led you to therapy, I aim to offer a non-judgemental space where you can feel safe enough to explore your experiences. I believe that when we’re met with care in a warm relationship we can process emotions that might initially feel too intense. Thus, helping you feel more grounded, understood and connected to yourself and others. I have supported people experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, divorce, sexual assault, infertility, pregnancy and parenthood.

I work online and outdoors, where nature is part of the therapeutic process.
I’m Avril, I am passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where people feel able to bring themselves fully, explore their experiences, and make sense of their world.
Working from a place of compassion and curiosity, I integrate person-centred practice with creative and trauma-informed approaches. I aim to walk alongside clients in their process, moving at a pace that feels right for them. I believe that each person is unique and trust in their ability to bring what feels important into therapy. Sessions are therefore not prescriptive; instead, they support the development of self-awareness, self-trust, and meaningful change.

Navigating a world built for neurotypical minds can be relentless. If you're neurodivergent (or wondering whether you might be), you may have spent years adapting, masking, and pushing through, often without support that truly fits.

Instead, we work collaboratively to find what actually helps you, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to how you think, feel, and process the world.
I also work with a wide range of other difficulties, always meeting you as you are.

Together, we’ll work to find the strategies and insights that best support your wellbeing — whether you’re seeking short-term guidance or a longer journey of growth and healing. My goal is for you to feel respected, heard, and understood — because every person is worthy of care, compassion, and the chance to heal.

If you're looking for therapy, it's likely that you're experiencing hurt and confusion around what's happening in your life. My first role as a therapist is to create a safe space through deep empathic listening, helping you to gain more and more clarity about what's going on for you. This clarity will then help you to define your goals and begin working towards achieving them, by becoming aware of your emotions, learning to work with them to figure out what you most deeply need, and then take actions to meet your needs.

FAQ - About Teletherapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
