HCPCAbigail Nelson
Specialising in working with neurodiverse clients and those with historic trauma or difficult childhood, I provide a safe, non-judgemental, GSRD-friendly and creative space tailored to you. Sometimes we can't or don't want to talk about the difficult stuff. Sometimes words just aren't enough, or we can't find the right ones. In sessions with me you'll be equipped with creative tools to express yourself authentically and in new ways. We can talk, but we can also create stories, make art, listen to music, or explore images and objects. Through metaphor, we can get your inner world out in front of us, so we can explore it and see it from new perspectives. You might like to work through a particular issue, maybe you just want to finally, truly get to know yourself, or perhaps you're looking for a dedicated time and space to focus on YOU. Whatever brings you to therapy, the most important thing is finding the right therapist for you. To explore whether that might be me, I offer a full free session as a consultation, so we can begin to get to know each other and you can experience what dramatherapy with me is like. I work with adults in-person (in Edinburgh) and online (worldwide) and currently have availability during weekdays.

BACPChloe Press
I work person-centered, always focusing on my clients' needs. I offer a nonjudgmental service that aims to empower my clients to find themselves through therapy. I have a lot of experience working with severe trauma and drug and alcohol addiction. After completing my degree in counselling and psychotherapy, I studied for a Master's in Psychology, however, I believe that certificates and degrees do not make a good therapist. I believe that being human and having understanding, warmth, and compassion are more important and I honestly think I can offer all these things and have a wealth of knowledge in my area. I look forward to hearing from you.

NCPS, BACPJenny Edwards
I'm a warm, genuine, grounded, experienced counsellor & supervisor offering a safe, relaxed, confidential & non-judgemental space to work through your issues at your pace. I'm passionate about helping others and it's always a great privilege to work with clients to help them gain clarity, feel calmer, more accepting of themselves and feel and cope better. I'm an integrative counsellor & work according to your need bringing in various techniques as needed, with your agreement. I have a particular interest and have done focussed training in trauma and the connection and impact these have on mental health and well-being. Trauma, small or big, past, present, one-off incidents or long-term/ongoing, can have immense detrimental impact on confidence, self-esteem, ability to think, cope and relax and lead to living with worry, anxiety, stress, low mood & depression. Trauma is held in our bodies and can manifest in inexplicable pain and also affect responses to seemingly normal people/situations and having a negative impact on family, friendships and colleagues leading to feeling lonely. I have worked with adults and young people in person, via telephone, online and have also run and facilitated group work and managed a counselling service. I also offer counselling to counselling students and those wanting to work on self-exploration for personal development. I bring varied challenging personal life experience to my work and broad work experience. I have worked at various levels within counselling and more in large organisations with my last role before self-employment as the Counselling Team Lead for Manchester Mind. I'm an Accredited Member of NCS (National Counselling Society); Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and an Accredited EFT Practitioner. I'm fully insured, undertake regular supervision and peer support and regularly undertake opportunities for learning and ongoing professional development (some of which is listed below). From the letters of UNITY my business name, I help develop Understanding and Nuture Insight to Trust in Yourself I offer appointments Tuesday to Friday daytimes and evenings.

NCPSJess Kalirai
I'm Jess, a fully qualified integrative therapist, founder of JK Counselling and accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). My passion for becoming a therapist was born from my experiences as a child and young adult, struggling with my mental health and not being able to find adequate support. From that point on, I wanted to provide a safe space for others to explore their concerns so that they weren't left feeling isolated and broken like I was. As an Asian woman, I understand the cultural barriers and invalidating treatment from a variety of cultures that can prevent people from seeking mental health support. I believe therapy should be accessible for all and that no one should be made to feel shameful or embarrassed for struggling with their mental health. Additionally, I have first hand experience of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and understand the difficulties that come with chronic illness. I've seen many therapists in my life so I know how daunting it can be opening up to a virtual stranger about the most difficult times in your life. I offer an environment free of judgement or pressure and you are in control of the pace we take when working through your issues. Sessions I currently offer online sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis. I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation in which you can get a feel for me and the way I work, discuss your presenting issue and I can answer any questions you may have. There is absolutely no pressure after this consultation to book a session and if either of us feel it's not the right fit, I'll do my best to signpost you to alternative therapists that might be better suited.

NCPSJoy Sheehan
Hello I'm Joy, a person-centred counsellor. Headway Counselling is a safe place for you to talk about what matters to you. Life is a like a game of snakes and ladders; ups and down. It can often throw things at us that affect the way we feel, the way we react, and the way we interact with others. It may be abuse, child loss, separation, redundancy, bereavement, or something like an argument or fallout with somebody that plays on repeat in your head, an illness, a difficult time with work, feeling unappreciated or not feeling heard. Seeing a counsellor doesn't mean there's something 'wrong with you', it means you feel you need some support. Therapy can help you to challenge negative thinking patterns or gain some clarity in a particular area of your life. It can be a space for you to say what you need to say without judgement or criticism. You may feel you're ready to learn new techniques that will enable you to cope better with every day life. You may want to focus on personal growth, but feel unsure how to do this. It can often feel scary, nerve wracking and sometimes overwhelming talking to a complete stranger, and it's natural to feel that way. I provide a friendly, non-judgmental & safe environment within a warm, comfortable, and inviting counselling room for you to have the space and time you need to focus on you.

BACPLorraine Quinlan
My clients have described me as sincere, non judgemental and having been there for them in times of need. I aim to provide all my clients with the same level of therapeutic relationship and feel that my conversational approach has helped form a strong foundation of trust and security. Through our work together I will help you work against all the past words that have been laid upon you, that may have crushed your confidence and stolen your wholesome self. My promise to you, is to help you challenge everything you have been conditioned and wired to think that you are "supposed to" do, feel, be or even how society feels that you should look like or even weigh. To work all the hours that you can to prove you are worthy, when inside you just feel like screaming "stop the world I want to get off", is something I know all too well. It's time to discover what "YOU" feel you should do, feel like or look like instead.

BACPMurray Lindley
I understand how daunting taking the decision to engage in counselling can be, because I have completed over 100 sessions as a client. In experiencing that progression, I came to understand the potential which counselling can offer in challenging unhelpful perspectives, empowering lasting change; whilst facilitating greater confidence, resilience and serenity. Undertaking my own therapeutic journey inspired me to become a counsellor myself, as a member of the British Association For Counselling & Psychotherapy, to support people facing their own challenges to explore their perspectives and to better manage their circumstances, creating effective solutions where possible. My practice is informed by an integrative counselling philosophy; whose foundation is person–centred. According to perceived client needs in the moment, I may draw upon principles and techniques from other modalities and in particular Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ("CBT") and Transactional Analysis ("TA"). I offer collaborative and non–directive support to clients, respecting that they remain the expert in their life, whilst maintaining a non–judgemental, objective and empathic position. I seek to assist each client in realising their innate and uniquely individual capacity for self–growth and discovering their own authenticity, promoting extended autonomy. With experience of over 2,000 client engagement hours, I have worked successfully with a diverse range of clients, presenting with concerns including addiction, depression, relational issues, anxiety, physical and mental abuse, work–related problems and isolation. Typically, I have experienced that clients find they can explore the potential causes of their mental health concerns and introduce coping mechanisms which empower them to maintain sustained improvements both within their professional and personal circumstances. I am comfortable working in person, via video platforms, telephone or text (according to requirement) with anyone aged upwards of 18 years old. I hold a current extended DBS check, requisite indemnity insurance and I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Therapy can help you pause, slow things down, and find your way forward.

As an Integrative and Person-Centred Therapist, my focus is on you. I’ll listen—really listen—so you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll make sense of your thoughts and feelings, helping you reconnect with yourself and move towards the life you want. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s take that first step together.

Do you find that often words aren't enough to express and hold your experience? Are you drawn to music, art, poetry, dance or theatre? If so, the creative therapies may be a great option to explore. I am a music psychotherapist currently undergoing advanced training in integrative psychotherapy and arts psychotherapy. I use music, image, clay/sculpture, drama/puppetry, bodywork/movement, poetry/writing and sandplay alongside talk therapy to facilitate a meaningful journey into your inner world. Sessions can take place in my studio (SE16), via video call, or, using an eco arts therapy model, on a walk through the Russia Dock Woodlands (SE16).
