Counselling in Edinburgh

Hi, I'm Maya Tomse. I'm a Psychologist, a Psychotherapist and a Counsellor. I work with couples and individuals, online. I specialise in relationships, and troubles specific to transitions we go through, especially complex life transitions. My interest in transitions and relationships stems from my own personal experiences. I was born in Yugoslavia, a country that got torn apart by war when I was around 10 years old. Later, throughout my life I've lived and worked in many different countries and at present hold 3 different citizenships.

Hello, my name is Yvonne Earl. I am a psychological therapist with over thirty years experience working in the field of child and adolescent mental health. I offer evidence based, high quality assessment and treatment to children and young people. My sessions are tailored to the needs of the individual child or adolescent, as each and every person and family has their own strengths and difficulties. Specialities Low Self Esteem, Depression, Self Harm, Exam Stress, School Difficulties Anxiety, OCD, Phobias, Parenting Problems, Family/Work, Eating Disorders, Bereavement, Lack of Confidence, Parental Consultations.

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, with 12 years experience working in NHS CAMHS teams and the charity sector. I offer brief, medium and long term psychotherapy for children and adolescents, and offer developmental support to parents and carers. I have specific training and experience in the treatment of adolescent depression, psychotherapeutic interventions for fostered, adopted and looked after children, and psychotherapy for university students suffering with mood disorders. I also offer psychotherapy to children and young people suffering from depression, who have a diagnosis of autism.

If you are tired of feeling confused and lost in your life and you struggle to deal with daily life events, if you are experiencing a difficult moment and you do not have the coping skills to bear it or if you feel you are not confident enough to make the changes that you would like to make and you struggle with your relationships and putting bounderies to those relationships, I would like to help you by upskilling you with the knowledge and abilites you need to face the issues you might find.

Life can be a challenge leaving us wondering what to do next with anxious feelings, low self esteem and depression. This can be down to relationship troubles, grief, loss or life traumas. When you need some time and space to process your feelings in a calm, confidential place. I can offer support for whats happening just now to help you gain some new understanding and meaning of your situation.

I am a well experienced Registered Practitioner Member of BACP and Advanced Practitioner Member of Addiction Professionals. Cognitive Counselling offers individual counselling services on West Regent Street in Central Glasgow. Cognitive Counselling provides a variety of therapeutic techniques to treat different addiction and mental health related difficulties.

I appreciate that life is full of twists and turns, unexpected events that may present particular challenges at different stages in your life. This could be health issues, including physical and mental health, loss including unemployment, redundancy, bereavement, relationship breakdown, a crisis of identity and self-esteem.There could be trauma from early life experiences or events in adult life that you may have not had the time and space to fully explore and process your feelings.The opportunity to have a safe, confidential space to open yourself to all the possibilities that life holds can be life changing.

Whatever problems or concerns you’re experiencing, I will offer you compassionate, non-judgmental, and thoughtful support. Trained in the person-centred therapeutic approach, I draw also on a range of psychodynamic and existentialist approaches to provide the support you need in exploring the issues with which you’re having difficulties.

Sometimes life is difficult and you want something different, a change for yourself. Therapy is a space where we can share our stories, our histories that influence the person we are, the suffering we may experience. Through this process, we can develop new insights into what has shaped us as people. I offer a safe, empathic and confidential space where you can explore, without judgement, your story and any personal difficulties you are experiencing. I will work with you, in your rhythm, to help you deepen your awareness of your experiences, thoughts, and embodied feelings.

I am a highly qualified Relationship & Sex Therapist with 15 years experience. I am also trained in 2 evidence-based treatment models, each grounded in decades of research, Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method. These provide us with deeper understandings and knowledge of what is required to help couples build more secure, resilient and loving bonds. Often, couples in distress don't know how to respond to each other in the face of emotional turmoil as a result of not getting the love they need and want from each other. Unlocking these co-created patterns of dis-connection with a relationship therapist is often required.

Hello and welcome! I'm a Pluralistic/Integrative counsellor passionate about supporting people to cope, overcome their difficulties and improve their wellbeing. Do you feel sad, misunderstood, overwhelmed or lonely? Do you struggle in your relationships? Do you want to understand and process your emotions to enjoy life more? Do you want to strengthen your confidence? In my practice, I strive to create a space where insight is cultivated and offer tools and methods to make sense of things. One thing I hear from my clients often is their regret for not starting counselling sooner. For more about how I work, please visit my website.

There are many paradoxes surrounding why being well can feel so out of reach. We want to change how we are but understandably fear letting go of certain ways of being, people and circumstances. We have never had as much choice of intervention and self help, yet the UK has recently ranked second from bottom in a global well being poll. Life gives us experiences that we react to in our own unique way of thinking, feeling and behaving. To varying degrees, some of this reaction can be involuntary, confusing, dysfunctional, out of awareness, unconscious, and even out of our control. Most crucially, it can leave us unfulfilled and unwell.

I specialise in Sex and Relationship Therapy and offer talking therapy for couples and individuals with sexual problems. These include vaginismus, painful sex, difficulty achieving orgasm, loss of desire for sex, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. I have particular experience in working with those impacted by past sexual trauma, abuse or assault. I am specifically trained and qualified to work with sex and porn addiction(s). I also work with partners of sex/porn addicts who are perhaps struggling with their partner’s addiction, working with the distress, betrayal, shock and trauma they may be experiencing.

Do you want to talk about the big stuff? Does it feel like it’s too big sometimes, and that it’ll make the people around you treat you differently? Does sharing those parts of yourself feel like they’re a ‘burden’ to others? Do you feel like you’ve been punished just for being yourself? I’m not scared of the big stuff. It deserves time, attention, and respect, just like you. I want to be gentle with whatever process you are going through. I don’t know if you’re like me yet, but I’ve had enough of the world’s unkindness.

Hello and welcome to my page. Sometimes our problems can seem overwhelming and out of control. We may experience unhelpful thinking and act in ways that may be out of character. The hardest part can be reaching out and asking for help. The good news is counselling can benefit so many. I know from personal experience that talking therapy can have positive, long lasting effects. I offer online and sessions in nature.

I offer a safe and facilitative space for you to think about what you need in order to feel better. An important part of that process is the relationship we develop and I will be with you each step of the way. I will listen, empathise, wonder with you, as well as laugh, cry, and get angry. Life is incredibly difficult at times. We could most likely all benefit from a space where we can share ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, and be shown acceptance. More than that, be shown care and understanding of what we are going through. If you feel that you would benefit from that kind of space, then please get in touch.

I am a certified practitioner of Gabor Mate's somatic based psychotherapeutic approach, compassionate inquiry. I come from a background teaching psychology, philosophy and religious/moral studies and bring together three decades of experience of mind/body practices and academic studies to offer my clients a safe space, non-judgemental presence, natural curiosity, humility and a deep desire to work alongside you on your journey of healing and personal growth.
