About me
As your counsellor I will offer understanding, acceptance and support wherever you are at. Within our sessions you can talk about and explore your thoughts and feelings about your life, relationships in the past and present, your hurts and fears, your hopes and dreams.
I won't offer advice or solutions, though I will support you in finding your voice and your own way forward.
My main approach to therapeutic work is person centred. I'm also influenced by creative therapies and psychodynamic theory and practice. Regardless of a counsellor's theoretical background the most important thing is having a good working relationship between counsellor and client. I aim to create a warm welcoming space within which you can bring everything you want and need to talk about, especially the things you struggle with or that have not felt heard elsewhere.
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Counselling which has been professionally validated by COSCA (the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland). I am also a member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychtherapy).
I subscribe and adhere to BACP’s code of ethics and practice. I receive regular supervision and hold suitable professional insurance. The counselling sessions that I offer are confidential. Sessions cost £50 and last for 1 hour. For those on low incomes I offer a sliding scale in the hope this will make sessions more accessible. The frequency of sessions is something we discuss and change depending on need and circumstance.
I currently see clients at Napiers Clinic on Bristo Place in Edinburgh on Monday evenings from 5.30pm and Fridays from 9am-6pm.
Hopefully we can find an appointment time to suit you.
To make an initial appointment call Napiers Clinic on 0131 225 5542 or you can call me (John) direct on 07890 685 346
