Counselling in Edinburgh and Midlothian

Life can pile up quietly — a hard patch at work, a relationship under strain, a loss you haven’t had the time to properly feel. Counselling gives you somewhere to put that down, even for an hour, with someone who is only there for you.

I am a qualified counsellor based in Bilston, Midlothian, and I work with people from Edinburgh and the surrounding area, in person and online.

Anxiety can show up in different ways — racing thoughts, tension that won’t ease, or a constant low hum of worry that follows you through the day. Stress can build slowly, from work, family life, or simply carrying too much on your own.

If this sounds familiar, we can talk about what anxiety and stress look like for you, and the change you’d like to make. Counselling gives you a steady space to make sense of what’s going on, without judgement or pressure to have it all figured out.

If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, please also speak to your GP. Counselling works alongside medical care — it isn’t a replacement for it.

We start with a conversation about what has brought you here, and you decide how much you want to share, and at what pace. There is no script to follow — this is your time.

I take a person-centred approach, which means you remain the expert on your own experience. I am here to listen, notice and offer perspective — never to tell you what you should be thinking or feeling.

Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, whatever suits where you are right now. Life changes, and how we work together can change with it.

I am based in Bilston, Midlothian, EH25. I provide confidential, person-centred counselling and make time for you to talk through what you need, without pressure or judgement.
