COUNSELLING FOR ADULTS
Financial worries, redundancy, career change and transition are all common stressors today. Work place harassment, work related stress and conflict with employers can also impact our mental health. Juggling work with parenting or caring for ageing parents can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Other major life events that can present us with challenges to our mental wellbeing include relationship breakdown, separation and divorce, loss and bereavement, infertility, miscarriage and post natal depression and family conflict. I have personally found counselling to be hugely helpful in supporting me through my own difficult life experiences. It would be my privilege to help you with yours. I can't make your problems go away, but together we can work on making them feel more manageable.
EMDR - Trauma Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A powerful, evidence based treatment which uses bilateral eye movements to process post trauma symptoms. Suitable for treating a wide range of traumatic experiences which often underpin anxiety and depression. Traumatic experiences are distressing events that occur outside our window of tolerance and can leave us with unhelpful reactions to present day triggers, such as panic attacks and phobias or unexplained physical sensations. EMDR can be used to treat adults, children and young people. Screening for suitability essential. Contact me to find out more.
COUNSELLING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Counselling is a form of talking therapy that provides young people with a safe and confidential space to explore their thoughts and feelings around difficult life experiences. Young people often have concerns around school, relationships, identity, self-image, loss and the future. Feeling heard and understood can alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms, reduce the urge to self-harm and improve confidence. I have experience of a wide range of issues and offer a non-judgmental LGBT+ safe zone. I currently welcome young clients over 16.
WALK AND TALK THERAPY
Get out in the fresh air while you work on your mental health. Outdoor therapy can provide a much-needed respite from the distractions, technology and chaos of everyday life. It can also help alleviate Zoom fatigue, a growing phenomenon as we continue to work and learn remotely. Join me on quiet walking trails in and around beautiful Midlothian and East Lothian whilst talking about what's important for you. Walking in nature can be beneficial for easing mild depression and anxiety and for getting your body moving in a healthy way.
