Hello, my name is Jess Bryson and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist working face-to- face in Edinburgh as well as on the phone and online via video calls.
 
I am a warm, supportive and empathetic person and I will not shy away from gently challenging your thoughts and beliefs about yourself in order to help you to move forward and grow as a person.

  • Domestic abuse
  • Navigating neurodiversity

I offer a free 15 minute online or phone chat for us to introduce ourselves and see if we would like to work together.
 
Please do get in touch with me if you have any questions.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
