Counselling in Inverness

My name is Katharina. In my work I am passionate about supporting adults and young people who are finding aspects of life troublesome and difficult. You may be experiencing times of anxiety, bereavement or low self esteem or you might be experiencing a range of difficulties (connected to work, family, relationships, sexual orientation) that you would like to talk about and wish to ‘untangle’ with some help. I offer short and longer-term work, which we would agree on in the initial and free 30 min consultation. This consultation and subsequent sessions can be online or over the phone, or face to face once regulations allow. .

Hello, I am a Psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner and Dramatherapist. In therapy, participants are supported to use creative expression to set goals, solve problems, express feelings and achieve improved mental health. Together in therapy there will be opportunities to consider how your personal life informs the way you experience the world. My work is influenced by trauma-informed approaches, which allow us to look at ourselves and understand why we may suffer. I am also a qualified secondary school teacher with extensive experience of working with people with trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety, bereavement and loss.

Perhaps you are breaking free of a difficult situation or looking to understand yourself or you actions and relationships better. Maybe you feel depressed, confused, angry or anxious, like you can’t find solid ground or untangle your thoughts long enough to find your way. Sometimes we can get stuck too, unable to move away from a feeling. Counselling can help by offering a calm, safe space for you to talk and explore freely. Give understanding to what’s sitting heavy, what causes you distress. Whether it’s from you past or in your present we can work through at your pace.

I specialise in OCD, social anxiety, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, women's issues including menopause, impulse control disorders, low mood, stress, and relationship issues. I am a Clinical Psychologist with an additional Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and have over 9 years experience delivering psychological therapies in the NHS. My job is to be helpful to you, so please feel welcome to ask me any questions you may have. Open to both self-funding and insurance clients.

Hi my name is Sam. I work with children and young people. My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable in a familiar surrounding so I always try to work with the child in their own home or school.

Hello, my name is Lara, and I am a qualified Pluralistic Counsellor. I understand that from time to time life can feel overwhelming. We have all faced unexpected challenges in recent times. It can sometimes feel that there is an increasing gap between the pace of life and our ability to keep up. I aim to provide a welcoming environment, which is safe and non-judgmental. I am an authentic person, who is down to earth. I believe that sometimes we all need to be kinder to ourselves, though for some, this can be a challenge. If so, get in touch and try counselling.

Hello and welcome! I’m Debbie, a psychologist, psychotherapist and counsellor. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer counselling sessions online to young people (12+ years old) and adults in English and French. I have two specialities: relationship difficulties (romantic, family, friendship) and eating issues (eating disorders, loved ones impacted).

Are you struggling to cope? Are you looking to make sense of things or heal from painful events? Perhaps you would like to feel empowered to make decisions that will best serve you. Or perhaps stories you have about yourself or coping strategies are getting in the way of a life you want to lead.

Coming to therapy is the first step toward finding the tools within you to implement the changes you seek. I will work with you in a non-judgemental, confidential atmosphere. Assisting you to gain the confidence to move forward feeling equipped to deal with issues that may arise.

Are you struggling to know how to support your child? Are you concerned about your teenager's emotional wellbeing? Are you looking for your own support to allow you to be the parent you want to be? It is normal for your child to experience ups and downs as they grow, but sometimes they need some extra help to get them back on track. As a parent, it can sometimes be difficult to know how best to help. You may be seeking some advice or support for your own mental health. I provide a calm, nurturing and compassionate space to allow us together to explore, understand and manage the difficulties you or your child are facing.

After having my own counselling in 2017 I knew that counselling can transform lives and I wanted to be able to do that for others. I offer online  or in person sessions for Adults, Children and Young People and hope that you will find me the right fit for you as you start your counselling journey,

Are you feeling trapped, stuck and finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? The daily life feels tasteless and numb to you. You seem to remember who you used to be, but who you are, at this stage, uneasy, emotional, is very foreign to you. On the counselling journey with me, I will explore and assist you to trace down to the rootcauses of these symptoms (e.g. palpitations, panic, low mood, anger), and release the stuck parts in you from the past memories and present experiences.
