I have worked as a Counsellor for over 20 years, and prior to this as a Senior Occupational Therapist (in community learning disability and mental health teams), where I supervised junior staff weekly. I am committed to the Psychodynamic model but also have training in Integrative Counselling, and have a good understanding of other counselling modalities. I have extensive experience in Brief work, working to a 4 -6 session model with Students (for 5+ years) and 6 sessions in the NHS (for 3.5 years) as well as in charity services. In my private practice I offer both brief counselling and longer term therapy, including twice weekly.  I have a wide range of professional and clinical experience, and have worked with a diverse range of people from different cultural and religious backgrounds (see www.pippawatsonrees.com for more information). I have my own regular supervision and keep up to date with CPD activities. For 16 years I worked in the city of Oxford, but relocated to Edinburgh August 2018. I currently work mainly in my Newington consulting room (EH9), also at The Southside Centre, Newington (EH9 1PY),  or The Life Academy in Bruntsfield (EH10 4DW). I am available for Zoom or telephone sessions too. I offer an Initial Consultation session to talk about your needs and to decide if we can work usefully together. I am happy to speak with you on the phone ahead of a paid for session.
