Family Therapy Counselling in Edinburgh

Hello and welcome! I’m Roz and I am an experienced Pluralistic Counsellor, providing online therapy. I have also worked in creative industries and love working with and nurturing creative minds. Our sense of self is coloured by our early experiences and often determines our adult choices, emotional reactions and internal dialogue. We absorb and adapt to the difficulties of our caregivers and circumstances, often filtered through previous generations of adversity. If this is your experience you may feel easily rejected, anxious, judged, angry or inadequate. You may feel a sense of depression, hopelessness, stuck or overwhelmed.

Difficulties and stress in the relationships that matter most to you can be a source of distress, anxiety, frustration or despair. When all your efforts to make things better still haven't worked, maybe it's time to think about trying a different approach. Working with a experienced relationship counsellor can give you the time and space to explore what is troubling you. I work with individual adults and couples from all backgrounds, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities to help them gain insight and fresh perspectives on life, relationships, and other issues that cause distress.

Have you been feeling depressed lately? Do you no longer enjoy what you did previously? If you need psychological support and want a better life for yourself. Please get in touch. Let's find a solution together.

Hello, I'm Kirsti Willis - an autistic HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist (BAAT). I offer neuro and LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma informed counselling and art psychotherapy to neurodivergent people of different ages (no diagnosis required), couples and families. I also offer advice and support with parenting. Often neurodivergent people feel very anxious, which can result in e.g. frequent meltdowns, as well as sleep issues. They can also struggle with relationships and be low in mood. They are also more likely to be traumatised than a neurotypical person. However, with the right support any situation can be changed for the better.

My approach to working with clients is honest, genuine, straightforward. I am gentle when required to be and direct and challenging when I’m needed to be. I am warm, engaging and have a great sense of humour! We will work together to make you more self aware and able to find a way forward .

Hello, my name is Mal Zbikowska, I’m a qualified Systemic Family Psychotherapist and a founder of Family Psychotherapy. I love seeing people grow and achieve their potential. Working relationally not only is my passion but also part of my value base. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of joining families, couples and individuals on their journey to closer connections, self-awareness, and acceptance that fostered deeper insights and understanding.

I have 30 years experience giving counselling, I’ve been a specialist NHS eating disorders therapist, addictions therapist, CAMHS therapist, Adult mental health clinician and counselling manager. I’m neurodivergant informed and developing a government counselling service for Special schools. There are many reasons why people come to counselling, we all struggle at times and may experience anxiety, low mood, loss or find life harder to cope with. It’s scary to ask for support, I understand this, I grew up in a family with complex needs and this experience is the compassionate basis for my work, bringing a deep understanding.

Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it. Starting counselling can be a bit scary, but living with unresolved problems is probably much worse. I believe that conditions such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and codependency signal that something is preventing us from thriving. Embarking on the journey of counselling can feel daunting, especially when grappling with conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and the complexities of family issues and trauma. Yet living with unresolved challenges can often feel challenging.

I get that it’s not easy to ask for support and admit to vulnerability. I view therapy as as a journey of discovery, healing and growth. Through 'experiential learning' and 'dialogue' we will work with your ‘embodied awareness’ of ‘how’ you are in relationships, ‘how’ you make choices and ‘how’ you co-create your world. We will look at where you feel 'stuck' and what seems 'difficult'; we will 'stay with' the feelings and complexity that may unfold. I believe change happens organically when we have enough 'support', fully acknowledge the situation we are in, and commit to work.If that resonates with you, please contact me.

There are many reasons to look for help. If you’re feeling anxious, feeling low, have family troubles, relationship struggles, or maybe there are traumatic experiences fresh in your mind or in unresolved in your past. Any of these might make you want to reach out to someone for some help.

Hello there, thanks for checking me out. Individuals: Life’s toll can leave us with hurts and regrets. Sometimes we end up so wounded everything loses its shine. Life becomes colourless. We struggle with trauma, anxiety or low mood. By creating a constructive conversation with me, we can work towards healing. Couples: I use emotionally focused therapy to help create a connection between spouses and partners. I explore hurtful cycles of interaction to change them. Together we develop positive cycles to heal the relationship. Families: I specialise in young adults/students and their parents; blended families; alienation; child contact

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.

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years experience of working with adults and with young people (12-18) and their families. I have tended to specialise in complex difficulties including self-harm, depression, stress and anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, problems with overwhelming emotions and difficulties in relationships. I have worked with many people with co-occurring autism and mental health difficulties and my work includes post diagnostic support. However I am open to working with any emotional or behavioural problems which are getting in the way of someone doing the things they want to in life.

In my practice, I strive to create a space where insight is cultivated and offer tools and methods to make sense of things.

Hello and Welcome. Thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Elisabetta and I am a qualified integrative counsellor, trained at the University of Edinburgh, and a Master Degree in Clinical Psychology in Italy. I am based in Edinburgh and I can offer individual sessions in person and online short and long term, as well as in English and Italian. My approach combines psychodynamic theories and systemic-family orientation, and it based on the belief that the context in which we live, the relationships we establish and the communication style we adopt have an important role and influence on our development and who we become.

Hi there, my name is Ana and I'm a psychodynamic therapist and supervisor with a special interest and experience in working with those affected by existential issues and a Masters thesis in working with adult children of parents with narcissistic traits. In my client work, I draw on my background in psychology, philosophy and systemic therapy, as well as psychodynamic therapy and attachment theory which looks at the unconscious relational processes between us and finds links between what you're experiencing in the present and your early childhood and family experiences. My supervision approach is both psychodynamic and integrative.

Not feeling fulfilled? Stress and anxiety getting in the way? Shame around past events or the present perhaps? Maybe these affect your relationships, family, work or generally your self esteem. Importantly, neither searching the internet nor self help books have been enough, and you need a human relationship. Someone who will listen to you without judgement, and who will attend to you and help you process your sometimes overwhelming feelings. Equally, you may be looking for a psychotherapist to work with by way of self development.
