Autism Counselling in Edinburgh
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist for individuals and couples. I am LGBTQ+ and neuro-affirming.
My focus is always on meeting you right where you are and working together to find the best approach for you. Sometimes that means focussing on issues you’re facing now and how to manage them better, sometimes it can involve looking back at experiences you’ve had in your earlier life and how they’re shaping what’s happening now. It depends on what your therapeutic goals are, which we can figure out together if you don’t know yet. Ultimately, we’re working together to create the change that you want to see in your life.

If you are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or having difficulties navigating relationships on your own terms, you have found the right place.
I believe change happens when someone truly gets you. I draw from a pluralistic framework integrating relational, somatic, trauma-informed, ACT, and sex therapy approaches. My practice is neuro-affirming, kink-aware, and inclusive of all gender identities, sexualities, and relationship structures. Therapy in English and Spanish.

cinder
/ˈsɪndə/
noun-
The small, partly burnt essence of a thing that's stopped giving off flames but still has the means of re-ignition within it.
I chose this name because I am a strong believer in your infallible potential to endure & survive, to return from something, changed, but at peace, able to take positive, progressive steps when able & to receive understanding and empathetic counsel without pressure or presumption when faced with setbacks or when improvement feels impossible or even regressive. I aim to create a space free of judgement & presumption, providing an opportunity to be seen as who you genuinely are or can be.

Just Human Therapy is a humanist, feminist, LGBTQ+ affirming online counselling service based in Scotland. Going to therapy can feel tough, so I aim to make it as approachable as possible. Often this isn't a quick fix, but an explorative, collaborative process to come back to who you are and what you need. If you're struggling with low mood, lingering trauma affects, or non-stop worry, I can support your steps forward.

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.

There are many reasons to look for help. If you’re feeling anxious, feeling low, have family troubles, relationship struggles, or maybe there are traumatic experiences fresh in your mind or unresolved in your past. Any of these might make you want to reach out to someone for some help.

Maybe you know the changes you want to make, but the steps to get there are unclear or just never seem to happen. Maybe you’re not sure what would change things for the better, or maybe you’re feeling harassed by painful thoughts and feelings.
Through weekly therapy sessions, I support clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and give them often long-awaited insight into the intricate and perplexing system of thoughts, emotions, sensations and actions that make up the experience of our everyday life.
Through this knowledge and support, I empower clients to make gradual but significant improvements in their lives.

I have experience in addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and matters related to sex, gender, and sexuality.
Hello, I'm Phil. I firmly believe that therapy can be transformative, providing a unique opportunity to explore our past experiences and understand how they influence our present. This viewpoint has been shaped by my experiences as both a therapist and a client. The therapeutic relationships I cultivate with people create a safe and empowering environment for them to examine and make sense of their connections with others and the world around them.

Hi, I’m Ian, a COSCA-registered counsellor based in Edinburgh with availability on Thursday and Fridays.
I provide in person, online and telephone counselling for people facing a range of challenges, helping to foster improved self-awareness, to see parts of the picture you may not have noticed, to facilitate new understanding, and growth — even when this may feel difficult.
I believe being understood, accepted, and valued is central to effective therapy. My approach is collaborative: working alongside you to explore what feels important.

I’d like to begin by welcoming you and acknowledging the step it takes to begin therapy, especially if you have spent much of your life feeling “not good enough,” “too much,” or as though you don’t quite belong. I am a qualified Counsellor working primarily with anxiety and trauma, and I often support people who carry deep-rooted feelings of shame, inadequacy, or self-doubt that began in early life. When we grow up in environments where our emotional needs are not consistently met, we can internalise painful messages that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others in adulthood.

Many of the people I work with are struggling with questions of faith, identity, and culture, often alongside a loss of meaning or a fractured relationship with belief, responsibility, and self.
I work with people who want to understand themselves properly, not just manage symptoms. Experiences such as religious trauma, diaspora identity, internalised racism, and racial trauma sit at the centre of my work.
My role is not to offer quick fixes. It is to help you think clearly about your life, your history, and the patterns you find yourself repeating, especially the ones you already recognise but cannot shift.

Raem Caum is an old norse word meaning calm, like still water after the storm. I offer a safe space designed to help you feel centered, calm, and connected.
I bring over 8 years of experience delivering psychodynamic psychotherapy and over twenty years offering person-centered care. My specialty lies in getting to the root of the problem and helping you find inner strength. We all feel lost at sea at times and it helps us to have someone that can help you find where you want to get to.
