As a
man
you may be experiencing confusion, stress or despair around your role and how to meet new expectations of emotional openness. Perhaps it feels like no one understands you and how hard you try to be a good person. Maybe you want to be less stressed and angry, enjoy some inner peace, and rekindle your spark for life again which was sucked out of you a long time ago. Perhaps you feel fear, shame or isolation, and just want to be confident and self-assured again. Or you may be a woman seeking to understand the behaviour of important
men
in your life.

Hello, Welcome to Aberdeen Reflection Counselling I am Nic, an Accredited Person-Centred Counsellor with 16 years of experience. I specialise in working with people who are stressed, depressed, struggling with their anxiety, understanding anger and work-related issues. I am also an experienced offshore counsellor and understand the stress and strains of the oil industry. I really believe counselling works because I too have been through the process and seen the changes in the people who I have helped.

People tell me that I'm warm, funny and really good with people and I feel I bring this to my client work. I believe that clients need to feel safe and develop a sense of trust before the process of sharing can evolve in to the dynamic process I believe provides the best opportunity for change and developing insight. I think what underpins this is the belief that a tight rope walker wont let go unless they feel they have a safety net to catch them, perhaps clients are the same in that regard. My philosophy of counselling has evolved but what has never changed is my belief in the uniqueness and individuality of clients and progress

It is always a pleasure working alongside engaged parents and carers. The kind of concerns that are brought to me would typically include learning and development related issues and queries like: "Does my child have Dyslexia/Autism/Memory problems?" "Teachers say that my child is struggling with his work and/or behaviour in school. What is going on? What can I do? What can the school do?" "How can I manage my toddler's tantrums more effectively?" "My child cant cope with changes...Why?...What can I do?" I can help with advice about most things to do with your child's learning and the context within which that learning happens.

If you feel that you want to make changes in your life, or feel overwhelmed with what you have to cope with on a daily basis, I can help you. You know you don't want to be in the same place in a year's time but don't know what you do want out of life. You may have issues with your mental health or have been through a particularly hard time or event. I like to work with people to help them to identify and achieve their goals and to plan for their future. This can involve supporting you with counselling to address personal issues and feelings, but it is also a more practical approach that helps you to produce your life-map.

Do you feel like you live in a world that doesn’t accept who you are? A dear friend of mine once summed up this feeling beautifully: “Being LGBTIQ+ is not my issue, it’s living in a world where others take issue with me being LGBTIQ+”. When we live in a society that does not see or respect our difference we internalize a lot of messages and beliefs about who we should, or should not, be. Trying to shape ourselves into an image that doesn’t fit isn’t just exhausting - it’s traumatizing! Hi, my name is Gavin and I identify as a gender non-conforming Queer person.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for considering me to help you feel better, stronger and more resilient. Living with worry and stress or low mood can feel overwhelming and seem difficult to overcome. Maybe you want to do more of the things you like or want to enjoy life a bit more, especially now when everything seems unknown, uncertain and always changing. Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a loved one and life just doesn’t feel the same. Talking to a trained counsellor about your feelings and difficulties can help you understand and process them in healthier ways and lead to feeling better about yourself, others and the world.

Psychotherapist, MBPsS

My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and my approach is holistic and personalised. Being human is hard. I am interested in getting to know you and understanding your difficulties and the context in which you struggle. I will give you the time and space to explore your issues at a pace which is comfortable for you. I can help you understand yourself better, improve your relationship with yourself and others, and, ultimately, live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I integrate traditional CBT with Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.

I assume you are here because you need help/understanding or seek direction with your life. I completely understand those reasonings and they were some of my motivations to train as a psychotherapist. I have been a client as well as counsellor and therefore aware of that trepidation of taking those first steps towards therapy. I'm glad I did because it empowered me in my desire to do what was right — for me. I am passionate about supporting those struggling with issues which is why I keep my prices as low as possible. You are a valuable individual. You've started your journey now see where it leads you.
