LGBTQ+ Affirming Counsellors in Edinburgh, SCT
Are you struggling? Perhaps you feel you’re stuck and fear your're going round in circles. Sometimes we need support to make sense of our lives, find our way back, forward or sideways. Sometimes, we need someone else to hear, understand us and be alongside us on our journey, to help us see the broader view. Perhaps you’ve had or are having a hard time but don’t know how to change or even if that’s possible. But you hope for something different, for growth as all living creatures do, in the same way new growth reaches for the light. Whatever it is, life is inevitable and change is possible even if it doesn’t feel that way just now.

So often our difficulties make us feel stuck, bound in place. Sometimes we can see we are caught in a loop, but don't know how to get free. Or we know what to do, but just can't seem to do it. And sometimes we don't even know what is making us feel stuck and where to start. Problems with our health, mood, traumatic experiences, changes to our life circumstances such as our employment or living arrangement, relationships, achievements, habits- any of these can make us feel stuck. Even good things such as weddings or promotions can be a stressor that gets us feeling this way.

People seek therapy & counselling for different reasons & you will have your own unique life experiences that may cause you unhappiness or you may find yourself at crisis point feeling unsure of what to do next. I have worked with many different clients from across the social & cultural spectrum from medical professionals to artists, full-time students to stay at home parents & retirees. I understand that often it is the first step, no matter who we are, that can feel the hardest; the reaching out & making contact. You may want to explore options for change, make sense of a difficult experience or gain new strategies for coping.

I help people who want to understand themselves better. In our sessions, we explore your thoughts and feelings, especially those that might be hidden beneath the surface. Doing so helps you see how your past experiences shape your present and uncover any internal struggles you might not be fully aware of. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can gain insight and grow. I combine empathy with thoughtful questions to help you discover and work through any underlying issues.

My job is to help you get some clarity, focus and respite from the troubling situations you may be experiencing.

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a background in medicine.

The first session is an opportunity to hear what brings you to therapy. We will assess the level and impact of the difficulty you are facing on your life, which will create a baseline that we will use later to monitor progress. We will then focus on finding out what you would like to gain from our work together. Often, clients know what they do not want, but identifying what they would like to change is harder. My role is to help you with that. Studies show that awareness of your needs is the first crucial step in the process of change

Life can feel really tough at times. If you are feeling low, anxious, stressed or know that there are things in your life holding you back, I can help. I offer a space where you can explore what you are going through and why. As your counsellor, I want to provide a safe space for you, where we can look what is happening in your life, explore what might be the cause of your pain and what change might look like for you.

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 believe that therapy can be a profoundly transformative process. My goal is to provide a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental environment within which we can collaborate, exploring the issues that you choose to bring to therapy. Through our open dialogue, at a pace that feels right for you, we can uncover new possibilities that begin to foster meaningful and lasting change. I am an experienced therapist, providing both short-term and long-term therapy tailored specifically to your unique needs. Rather than applying a 'one size fits all' approach, I work in a way that reflects your individual situation and therapeutic goals.

Hello, I'm Phil. I firmly believe that therapy can be transformative, providing a unique opportunity to explore our past experiences and understand how they influence our present. This viewpoint has been shaped by my experiences as both a therapist and a client. The therapeutic relationships I cultivate with people create a safe and empowering environment for them to examine and make sense of their connections with others and the world around them.
