Available Counselling in Dundee
Epistemicide is the destruction of navigational maps crafted from ancestral knowledge and personal experience, leaving us disoriented in a world simultaneously familiar and alien. As we confront this erasure, therapy emerges as a dynamic space for deep exploration—an ethnographic study of one's life where agency meets healing justice. Here, our narratives challenge systemic violence while we question frameworks of belonging in a world determined to dictate their terms, meaningful conversation, we navigate our hybrid identities with their contradictory yet authentic stories, transforming discomfort from cultural loss and oppression.

I assume you have something you would like to talk privately to somebody about. I wonder what it is like to be you. Do you often feel alien, struggling to understand and be understood by others? Is finding friends and keeping them hard? Would you rather avoid groups whilst wanting to belong? Does change hit you hard? Do you feel distant from others and even yourself? And maybe answering seemingly simple questions, such as “how are you?” or “what do you need?” feels difficult. I have some idea of what that is like. I offer you acceptance within a non-judgemental, empathic therapeutic relationship.

Hi I'm Michelle and firstly, I want to say well done in taking the 1st step in seeking help by searching for a counsellor, it's not an easy step to take. Society is moving at such a fast pace that we don't take that time out to get a sense of our feelings about changes occurring in our lives, or to come to terms with other issues. We can often feel that our personal issues and challenges are not that big compared to other people's, however, if they are affecting your ability to live a fulfilled life then it is worth giving yourself space and time to process what is going on for you in your life through counselling.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, frustrating, or simply not how we hoped it would be. We may struggle with anxiety, low mood, addiction, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma, or patterns that seem to repeat themselves despite our best efforts to change them. All these issues are understandable, and it is normal to have problems, but they don't need to run your life.
Reaching out for support takes courage and I will support you. Whether you are seeking help with a specific issue, or looking for deeper personal growth, we can work together to achieve recovery, change, autonomy and lasting wellbeing.

Hi I’m Caroline, I’m a BACP registered counsellor working with both individual adults and children and young people. I did my Postgraduate training in Person-Centred Counselling at Aberdeen University before going on to gain an additional specialist certificate in Counselling Children and Young People. I chose the person-centred approach as the foundation for my training and practice because I believe that simple talk therapy is incredibly powerful and that most of us aren’t often given this space in life where we are simply listened to, heard and understood.

When we feel lost, stuck, or uncertain for an extended period, pausing and taking the time to understand ourselves can help us find clarity and direction. But sometimes self-exploration is challenging to navigate alone. I offer a safe, supportive environment to work with you in this process. I listen deeply and ask gentle and thoughtful questions that may encourage you to reflect and help you see yourself and your situation from different perspectives.

See More Available CounsellorsHow do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your area and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by therapist characteristics, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the UK vary widely depending on whether you go through the NHS or seek private care. Through the NHS, wait times typically range from a few weeks to several months depending on your area and the urgency of your referral. Private therapists are generally available much faster, often within a few days to a couple of weeks. Wait times also differ by therapist type. Counsellors tend to be more widely available than clinical psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree and are fewer in number. In addition, therapists who specialise in trauma, eating disorders, or child and adolescent therapy also tend to have longer wait times due to the limited number of professionals relative to demand.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your area without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your GP can serve as a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation and, in some cases, connect you with local mental health services more quickly than a self-referral would. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health services may be available regardless of your ability to pay for private care. They can offer psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and medication management to help stabilise your situation in the interim while you wait for a longer-term therapist.
