Carolyn Milbank
About me
I am qualified to practise as a counsellor for individuals and couples, also to work with children and young people using play therapy, creative therapies and counselling. I can also offer supervision of counsellors working with adults and with children. I have been practising for 25 years.
The quality of the therapeutic relationship is essential for people to achieve lasting change and the importance of regular weekly, hour long sessions helps the relationship to build and ensures the safety of this creative space.
The counselling I offer takes place in a private room near Canonmills and Stockbridge in Edinburgh, it is easily accessible by bus and there is free parking.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
