Counselling may be useful to you if you are experiencing some emotional upset or change. Maybe you are going through an immediate crisis, or have a sense of something not being right which is beginning to affect your day to day life.
At Stockbridge Pharmacy I aim to provide a safe and confidential space for individuals over the age of 18 to talk through and explore their problems or concerns.
Counselling can help with a wide range of issues including;
- Bereavement and loss
- Difficulties within relationships (family, social, intimate)
- Self-confidence and esteem
- Addictions
- Depression and anxiety
- Trauma
- Eating disorders
- Chronic illness or recent diagnosis
- Stress or work-related problems
- Spiritual and existential issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Person Centred Counselling and am a registered member of the BACP – working towards accreditation.
My approach draws upon the work and theories of Carl Rogers and the Person-Centred Model. This is essentially a firm belief in you, the client, being the expert on your own life. My role as a counsellor is to be a compassionate and attentive partner, helping you explore your inner world, address problems and find solutions. I aim to provide a warm and accepting space where you can feel safe and supported in looking at the difficulties troubling you.
I attend regular individual supervision, am committed to continuing my own learning and growth and participate in monthly group supervision.
I have volunteered within one of Edinburgh's most established counselling charities for the last four years. This is something that continues to enrich and expand my practice and I am highly committed to it.
