Autism Counselling in Edinburgh
Hello and welcome! I’m Roz and I am an experienced Pluralistic Counsellor, providing online therapy. I have also worked in creative industries and love working with and nurturing creative minds. Our sense of self is coloured by our early experiences and often determines our adult choices, emotional reactions and internal dialogue. We absorb and adapt to the difficulties of our caregivers and circumstances, often filtered through previous generations of adversity. If this is your experience you may feel easily rejected, anxious, judged, angry or inadequate. You may feel a sense of depression, hopelessness, stuck or overwhelmed.

Sessions available online or at my Edinburgh home- office.

I have over a decade of experience supporting people with many issues including Relationships, anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, addictions, Adverse Childhood Experiences, difficult life changes and Losses.
I help couples and individuals with relationship issues.
I will help you to understand the unhelpful patterns of communication, thinking and behaviour which you get trapped in which are often at the root of your anger, distress or distancing. I have many years of experience working with people who are suffering from the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) including addiction issues, abuse, neglect, violence, suicide of family member, bullying and trauma. ACEs can lead to huge difficulties in adulthood including chronic anxiety and depression, attachment insecurity low self-esteem and relationship issues.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in loops of overthinking, or worn down from trying to cope on your own, therapy can offer a place to pause and breathe. Many people I work with say things like, “My mind never switches off,” or “I’m exhausted from holding everything together.” You might feel trapped in your thoughts, constantly on edge, or quietly battling self-doubt while getting on with daily life. Often there’s a sense of, “I don’t know how I got here — I just know I can’t keep going like this.”

It can be overwhelming searching for the right counsellor – someone who feels like a good fit and a safe person to talk to. You may have stopped and started this process a few times already, and it’s okay if you’re feeling unsure about what you need right now. If you’re looking for a space to make sense of things and feel more at ease, you’re in the right place. I work in a warm, grounded way, bringing curiosity, care and thoughtful reflection as we explore your experiences. I offer an approach that fosters understanding and gentle exploration, supporting you to make sense of your experiences and allowing change to unfold naturally.

Perhaps you are clear about what help you are looking for, or maybe you just know that something in your life isn't right and you're at a loss to know how to put it right. It may relate to something current, or perhaps it's a longstanding difficulty.
Whatever your situation may be, I can offer you the opportunity to explore what's going on for you and help you clarify what steps forward are possible and how you might take them.

I work especially with neurodivergent adults and women who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, burnout, shame or self-doubt.
Hi, my name is Camila. I offer a grounded, deeply relational space. I often work with people who find it hard to feel their emotions in an embodied way, live with chronic exhaustion, or are trying to find themselves in more connected and authentic relationships.
My commitment is to be alongside you: in pain, grief, anxiety, or simply to explore, and to hold some of what feels heavy together. I’m open and curious about the darker, more painful parts of your experience, and I will meet you exactly where you are. From there, we can gently make sense of your stories and feelings together.

You may have spent years wondering why life seems harder for you than it does for everyone else. Perhaps you're constantly overwhelmed despite trying your best, find yourself overthinking everything, or feel exhausted by people-pleasing or simply trying to keep up. Many of my clients are exploring ADHD for the first time, adjusting to a diagnosis, or struggling with anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem or the impact of difficult life experiences. Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers a space to understand yourself with greater compassion, make sense of what's been holding you back, and move towards meaningful, lasting change.

Patient. Reliable. Approachable. I’m an experienced Irish psychologist, with a practice primarily focused on relationship difficulties. These create psychological challenges that can preoccupy us in daily life. Our self-understanding is built up through our relationships, through what gets reflected back to us from those closest to us. As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are. Working together, I can support you to rebuild trust in yourself, and make greater sense of the difficult relational reality you find yourself in.

Here is a safe place where you can bring what’s on your mind and together we can make sense of it to find a clearer way forward. Sometimes troubles can feel too stuck or confusing to find words for. In sessions with me, along with words, and your body experiences, we can use art materials, or any to hand objects, like a pencil, a piece of paper or string to express what is happening for you. This can release and make sense of difficulties. Working together in this way can support new ways of thinking and improve relationships through increased self-awareness and emotional mastery.

I also offer psychotherapy to children and young people suffering from depression, who have a diagnosis of autism.
I specialise in psychodynamic treatments for mental illness in children and adolescents. My approach is informed by attachment research, psychodynamic theory and developmental neuroscience. I believe that effective psychotherapy can take time, and that children and young people require adequate space to feel comfortable exploring their difficulties.
