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 hopes and dreams, your hurts and fears. I won't offer advice or solutions, though I will support you to 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 subscribe and adhere to COSCA’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 between £35-£50. I operate a sliding scale with the hope that this will help make counselling more affordable to those on lower incomes. Sessions are usually weekly and last for 1 hour.
I currently see clients at Napiers Clinic on Bristo Place in Edinburgh city centre on Monday evenings.
Hopefully we can find an appointment time to suit you.
You can call me (John Kennedy) on 07890 685 346 to make an initial appointment or call Napiers on 0131 225 5542
