Divorce Counselling in Edinburgh

I offer counselling and psychotherapy for both individuals and couples with wide ranging issues. Counselling can be a very important part of managing your mental wellbeing, particularly at this worrying and for some, lonely time. I  provide a safe and confidential therapeutic space, where you can feel listened to and understood, allowing you to explore your emotions, without being judged.

I know that the decision to seek therapy and to find a suitable therapist can be daunting, so my approach is to never forget what it is like to sit in the client’s chair. Whether you're going through separation and divorce , experiencing abuse, depression, trauma, generally feeling sad or struggling with other emotional issues, I can help. I am here for You.

Perhaps you’re both at a crossroads where your future as a couple seems uncertain? Maybe you’re considering separating or divorce ? Are you feeling hurt, disconnected, stuck, frustrated, angry, lonely, misunderstood, overwhelmed, sad or scared?

For sure, life can get complicated. Health, finances, relationships, career, family, fitness, home security and unexpected change – more than ever before these can be in the mix (one or all), impacting our ability to think clearly and move confidently through our day. Clients come to see me when they want fast, effective results with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, stress, eating disorders and relationship re-thinks.

Do you feel overwhelmed by life. Does it feel like all your thoughts and feelings are like a ball of tangled spaghetti. Anxiety, depression and lots of other issues could be entwined. Counselling can help you to un-tangle that ball, help you to understand your thoughts and feelings. I am a qualified, Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, working within Leith, Edinburgh area. I work with a wide range of issues and specialise in working with Domestic abuse issues. My approach to counselling is based on the belief that healthy emotional well-being is created within safe, nurturing and caring relationships.

I offer online counselling. This means that we can meet at a time that suits you, in a place where you feel comfortable and safe. I am a person-centred counsellor, and I know that you are the expert in your own journey. I'd like to build a relationship with you where we can explore difficult parts of your life, uncomfortable feelings and current problems. I will be there with you, and together we can go to any dark places you feel you need to. Having a relationship like this means that you have the space to make changes and start to love yourself again.

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 to move on in your life and 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.

Sometimes life throws challenges in front of us which we may struggle to cope with. This could be a sudden and unexpected change like a loss or bereavement. It could be something that we have always struggled with that is making it challenging to move forward with life. Situations such as these can be stressful, and sometimes we can't shake off the anxiety and depression or we may even experience anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure in usually pleasurable activities). It might also be a past trauma or abuse that is causing the challenges in the present life, revealing itself as panic for example.

Welcome to my personal statement. I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor, with over 30 years involvement in the personal development field. I bring the breadth and depth of my life experience, and aim to work in collaboration with you to explore the challenges and joys that you face in your life.

“Life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change”. At times we can all feel anxious or uncertain of our future. Sometimes we need to make changes in order to improve our situation. However, the prospect of change can feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling disconnected, isolated and lonely. Hearing your thoughts out loud, with a professional, can be an opportunity to gain some clarity and begin the process of change. I truly believe that a small change in the way we think can make a big difference to the way we feel.

I work with individuals and couples, specialising in relationship counselling, sex therapy and sex addiction & compulsivity therapy. As a relationship counsellor, I support couples with various complex issues, including dealing with the impact of porn addiction on their relationship.

Do you feel lonely, misunderstood or not heard? Do you have difficulties in your relationship ? Are you struggling with change? I can offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts about your relational or personal issues.
