Female Counselling in Scotland

Does life constantly feel overwhelming? Do you have past or present trauma that seems to affect everything you think or do? Do you feel like your partner never listens to or understands you? Or does it feel like they just don’t care about you or your needs at all? These are all common experiences for individuals and couples. The good news is, there is hope and help. I can help you work through your trauma so it does not affect you constantly. I can teach you and your partner how to communicate more effectively so that you can meet each other’s needs and get back to that loving place you were in at the start of the relationship.

You’re here because you want something in your life to be different. This could be your environments, the way you feel / think about yourself, your relationships with others, and / or your world. It can be difficult to know where to turn and sometimes you can feel very alone, struggling to open up to those around you for fear of being burdensome, not understood or accepted. Therapy is an empowering process, supporting you to become more aware of and connect with yourself and others. Through it you'll reframe past wounds, identify and prioritise your needs, enhancing the feeling of security within yourself and relationships.

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology and a Master of Science in Psychotherapy. I have particular experience supporting clients with Depression, low self-esteem and Anxiety - including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I offer long-term & short-term in-person and online therapy for adults and young people (age 13+), with a specific focus on the Person-Centred Approach to counselling.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, someone to listen to us in an open hearted way, without judging us. When we are feeling distressed and upset it can be very hard to know who to contact, and to make this first important step to get in touch. I offer trauma informed and awareness based psychotherapeutic practice in the form of Core Process Psychotherapy. I integrate therapeutic skills, knowledge and understanding that are evolving on an open ended inquiry in the fields of mindfulness and psychological trauma.

Hello, my name is Sarah. I am currently accepting new child/adult clients for Online therapy, Walk and Talk therapy and Face to Face therapy. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling to face a stressful life situation? Are you struggling to feel accepted or listened to, or feel that you don’t have anyone to talk to about your experience of trauma?

Is daily life a struggle? Do you constantly feel like you are walking through quick sand and feel bogged down by your own thoughts and worries? Have you developed unhealthy coping behaviours that are no longer serving you well? Would you like support to be able to look at yourself from a different perspective and move forward with your goals?

I'm here to help you get the most out of life. Whether it's anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues or something else preventing you from living your best life, we will work together to reach your goals. I am a qualified person-centred counsellor using integrative techniques to create a therapy designed to meet your unique needs. In other words,  I use a variety of different therapeutic methods to help you find the answers you're searching for. We will work together to discover what works for you, to help you navigate your way through a sometimes confusing world.

A decline of one’s sense of wellbeing can be caused by and often leads to greater disconnect and displacement. Certain coping strategies or habits may have ceased in bringing relief and are instead hindering the possibility of living in a more spontaneous way.

Here at String Psychology, we explore and understand your knots with the aim of untangling them.

I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues and attachment issues, but I have also worked with many clients who are struggling with depression, suicidal ideation, loss and gender issues. Furthermore, I have also worked with a number of clients who were either waiting on assessment for, or who had recently been diagnosed with either ASD or ADHD, and were looking for support on managing the impact that these neuro-divergences have on their day to day lives and relationships.

My aim is to tailor therapy specifically to you, applying evidence-based approaches to help you achieve your goals in the shortest possible time, whilst exploring the origins of your difficulties to enable long-term change. I have experience working alongside people who may be struggling from a range of psychological difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and trauma across the NHS, third sector and private organisations.

I have over twenty years’ experience working with individuals who have experienced challenging times including addiction, abuse, anxiety, domestic violence, depression, relationship breakdown, loss, homelessness, trauma and many others. I am aware of the impact that such challenges can have on individuals and together we can explore this.

Whatever your reasons for being here, you are very welcome. I provide a very safe and confidential space to people from ALL walks of life. Whatever difficulties you are experiencing I can help you to gain insight into why they exist and persist. Psychodynamic therapy helps you to bring that which is unconscious into conscious awareness which helps you to understand and resolve internal conflicts that cause suffering. These internal conflicts manifest as, for example, anxiety, depression and self-destructive behaviours, particularly in relationship with others. Psychodynamic therapy is effective in enabling life long change.

If you’re searching this website for a counsellor or psychotherapist then there’s probably something that’s troubling you. Finding the right person to trust with your vulnerabilities is important and often scary. I am highly motivated by the joy of seeing my clients getting the breakthroughs they are looking for and freedom from what holds them back or hurts them. I focus on empowering my clients and ensuring they remain in control of the pace and outcomes they want to achieve. My clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgemental style.

Are you seeking a place where you can truly be heard? I offer therapeutic counseling in a supportive, non-judgmental environment where your voice is genuinely valued.

Many of the clients I work with are at a crossroads, searching for their next steps after enduring trauma, long-term stress, or life transitions.
