Counselling for individuals in Edinburgh

Hello, my name is Karen and I am a registered counsellor working in Edinburgh.  I offer counselling for adults from any background.  Sessions are face to face or online.

Why come for counselling?
Often we can work through difficulties in life
with the support of family or friends.  But it may
be easier and more effective to talk with
a counsellor.
Counselling provides a private,
supportive space for you to
talk about what is going on
in your life.  

What can you expect from me?
I have worked with people of many ages and 
backgrounds.  Some of the issues I have helped
clients explore have included:
- anxiety
- relationship problems
- work or study difficulties
- sexuality
- neurodiversity
- gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD)
- bereavement and loss
- abuse
- addictions
- pregnancy


 


 

I work using a Transactional Analysis (TA) approach.

TA is a theory of personality which can be easily used to understand what is happening in our lives and relationships.  I am interested in understanding what life is like for you now, how your past influences you and what you want to change.

Counselling is not a process of being 'fixed'.   It requires participation and investment from both client and counsellor and it can facilitate the personal growth and change that you are looking for.
