I offer a warm, welcoming, and confidential space where you will be listened to without judgement. As a Gestalt counsellor, I allow our sessions to be led by what feelings come up for you in the moment. I am committed to working alongside you, supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings, but not telling you what to do.Perhaps you've noticed a shift in your mood, or you've been feeling more anxious than usual. It may be that you're feeling 'stuck' in a relationship, job, or emotional space that is limiting your life. Or maybe you are coming to terms with an ending, a death, or a trauma. Whatever it is that you're facing, I will sit with you to listen, to support your process, and to offer reflections if you'd be open to them.My practice is: anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ inclusive and GSRD (Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity) inclusive.

Personal experience of sight loss brought me to therapy many years ago, when I desperately needed someone to help me make sense of my situation. I found it truly transformative, and since then, I have dedicated my life to helping others experience the power of therapy.

I am an Integrative therapist which means I draw on a range of therapeutic models and can tailor my work to meet your needs. I am also an accredited sight loss counsellor., with a sound understanding of some of the unique difficulties faced by people with a visual impairment, both on a practical and emotional level.

I provide a space where you feel able to express and work through your loss.  I work alongside you and help you adjust to a new way of being.  My practice is fully accessible, and I provide a flexible approach to working together. I offer telephone, online and face to face sessions.

Sight loss can have a significant impact on   the person experiencing it, as well as their friends and family. I work with you whether you are directly or indirectly affected by sight loss.

Finding the right counsellor is an important first step, so I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone call to discuss your emotional and practical needs, as well as to work out if we are a good fit for each other. I look forward to hearing from you.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over a decade working on mental health helplines, where brief but meaningful conversations sparked my wish to support deeper, lasting change. I’ve long been drawn to relational roles, beginning with YouthNet in the late 2000s, supporting young people facing mental health challenges and the pressures of early adulthood.

I now work in private practice as a blind counsellor and an RNIB-accredited sight loss counsellor.

My work is grounded in extensive professional training, experience, and clear boundaries. Being blind also means I understand how sight loss can affect confidence, identity, relationships, and everyday independence.

I work with adults, young people aged 15 and over, and people in couple relationships. If you’re adjusting to sight loss, we can explore together the emotional and relational changes which often follow. I know how isolating this experience can feel, and how important it is to have a space based on respect, clarity, and shared understanding. My work values openness and honesty, making room for resilience, connection, and new ways forward. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

About me

I am an accredited psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals facing a broad range of emotional, psychological and physical challenges. My approach integrates psychodynamic and analytic perspectives, with a particular focus on the connection between psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.

I am interested in how people deal with major life transitions such as early life trauma and shifting personal identities. I pay close attention to how experiences from the past may repeat themselves including physical and psychosomatic symptoms and relational patterns. I explore how evolving aspects of identity interact with both internal conflicts and external difficulties and expectations.

My aim is to provide a thoughtful, empathic space in which these complex layers can be understood and worked through in depth with such issues as anxiety, depression and mind body connection.

Until June 2025 I worked for RNIB as a manager at the advice line and am fully aware of the many emotional and practical issues you may be facing.

I believe that we all deserve to recover from struggles and stresses that have challenged us and left us in desperate places, questioning life and ourselves.  If you are navigating anxiety and depression, have been through traumatic times, are experiencing stress, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion, understanding, and without judgment. Together we can explore your feelings and thoughts, so that you can start making sense and move into a more positive future.

While my speciality lies in trauma and abuse recovery, my integrative approach allows me to help with a wide range of issues. Together, we can work toward the clarity and emotional relief you deserve.

Finding the right counsellor is an important first step. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute introductory session, so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit before beginning your counselling journey.

I understand that for many it is important to speak with someone who has professional counselling experience and a genuine understanding of the impact sight loss can have on every day life.

Being diagnosed with a sight condition can feel devastating and many people describe the experience as similar to a bereavement.

I offer a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about how you are feeling and begin to make sense of the emotional impact. Alongside providing therapeutic support, I also have experience of the practical challenges that sight loss can bring. My aim is to help navigate your way to a place that feels less fearful , where you can regain a sense of control and build resilience for the future.

A warm welcome to you and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Losing your sight can bring profound emotional and psychological changes. You may feel stressed or anxious, experience low mood or depression, or struggle with feelings of loss, grief or anger. It’s also common to feel a loss of    confidence or a sense that you are not coping. These experiences   can deeply affect your relationship with yourself. As well as    with family, friends and your wider community.

Following my own experience of sight loss, I embarked on my counselling training, and I remain passionate about supporting   others through these challenging times

I qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and I am a BACP accredited practitioner.

I have 16 years of experience working in various modes of therapy.

My first career was as a primary school teacher, specialising in music, which led me to train as a Music Therapist with Nordoff-Robbins. I quickly discovered that mental health was the area in which I felt most at home and to further my therapeutic practice, I trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), qualifying in 2016.

While practising CBT I discovered that trauma was at the root of many people’s issues. This led me to train in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and I have been able to help many people using this technique. Eye movements are not essential for this therapy to work, and it can be adapted using tapping and other forms of bilateral stimulation.

I have experience working with adults who have diagnosed or suspected autism and ADHD. As a committed Christian I welcome people of all faiths and none.

My passion really is about providing a safe space for people to feel heard, believed and understood. The magic of listening and truly being fully present with a client, allows me to see the fog lift for so many clients and allows them to rediscover themselves again. I have experience working with clients with ADHD and Autism, exploring how this impacts them and their lives but also working to find the positives this brings to their life. I also have experience working with chronic illness, exploring what the condition is like for the client as every individual is unique. I set up privately to be able to provide longer term support for clients allowing time to build a trusting relationship in which a client can work through things at their own pace, this is particularly useful when trauma and shame have been experienced by the client.

Hello, I’m Laura. I am an Integrative Relational Counsellor offering therapy for adults aged 18 and over. I offer a warm, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore what is happening in your life. This may include relationships, identity, stress, loss, or feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

My training with the RNIB has strengthened my understanding of accessibility, sensory needs, and inclusive practice. I aim to bring warmth, empathy, and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you can reflect, explore, and grow.

I am a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist with experience supporting individuals as an RNIB sight loss volunteer counsellor. My work is grounded in empathy, understanding, and creating a safe, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings openly.

Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a secondary school teacher for over 17 years. During that time, I supported young people of varying abilities, including neurodivergent students, and students with visual impairments which gave me a deep appreciation of the diverse ways people experience and navigate the world. This experience continues to inform my compassionate and flexible approach to counselling.

Through my work with individuals experiencing sight loss and visual impairment, I understand that the impact goes far beyond the physical loss of sight. Many people experience complex emotions such as grief, uncertainty, a loss of direction, or changes to their sense of identity when the future they once imagined begins to look different. I offer a supportive space where these feelings can be explored safely, at your own pace, and without judgement.

I also work with partners, family members, and loved ones of those experiencing sight loss or visual impairment. Changes in vision can affect relationships and family dynamics in many ways, and I provide a space where these challenges can be acknowledged, understood, and worked through with care and sensitivity.

My aim is to support people in making sense of what they are experiencing, helping them reconnect with their strengths and find a way forward that feels meaningful for them.

Hi there, I’m Carol, a Person-Centred counsellor working from Edinburgh in person, by telephone and online.

I have experience volunteering on helplines and as a befriender for sight-loss charities since 2011. My background was in the museums sector but a crisis with my eyesight gave me the opportunity to stop and consider my priorities. I now do the work I truly enjoy and feel a connection with. I offer you as my client the gift of myself, my skills and knowledge and my lived experience. I aim to provide you with a warm and accepting environment where you can talk about whatever issue you want to bring. Please do look at my website for more details.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, and I felt my whole world stopped, to be honest it did. Life was uncertain and frightening and I had no idea what I needed, other than everything to go back to the day before the diagnosis.

Meeting with Sight loss nurses, social workers, attending the sensory centre in Camelon was all helpful but I did not see myself as blind - I could still see. All the practical support was there but the emotional support was lacking.

At the sensory centre I met with a lovely lady who had the same eye disease as me and it helped a little. At last I could talk to someone who could help me navigate life with RP, work considerations and supportive aids, but again it was mostly practical.

I needed someone who could understand my fear, my loss of confidence, the shadow of the person I became. Someone who could understand my fears around being a mum, losing my independence and my driving license and the emotional toll it would take on everyone around me, my children and my marriage. Thinking I could continue life the 'way it used to me before the diagnosis' burnt me out emotionally, physically and mentally.

My marriage broke down, I became a lone parent, I struggled financially, my fears and anxieties grew but I sought Counselling and in that space, being able to explore the impact of sight loss on my life completely transformed how I saw myself.

I am who I am meant to be - a strong, successful and compassionate human being. I live proudly with my sight loss but it has been a difficult journey and so, I want you to know that I understand, and I can help you navigate your difficulties and hopefully inspire you to find light in the darkness and accept this part of who you are.

If you, or someone you care about is struggling emotionally please do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you and remember, the first step is always the hardest.

I am a therapist who works using Transactional Analysis, an approach I value for its clarity and accessibility. At the heart of my work is careful listening and a wish to understand the themes that shape your unique life story, explore what has brought you to therapy, and begin to make sense of the difficulties you are facing.

I work collaboratively, helping you explore how past experiences and relationships may have shaped your ways of coping in the present. Through curiosity, gentle enquiry, and careful challenge, we can begin to notice what no longer serves you and make sense of how these patterns developed. This creates space for new understanding and choice, often helping to reduce feelings of anxiety or overwhelm.

I believe deeply in the value of counselling, having experienced its benefits personally and witnessed how it can support people to find relief from distress, develop greater self-understanding, and build a kinder relationship with themselves. My aim is to offer a warm, professional, and ethical space where you can feel welcomed, respected, and taken seriously.

I'm a pluralistic therapist with training in integrating CBT, TA, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Expressive Arts Therapies and Ecotherapy into person-centred practice.  I’ve worked as a counsellor since 2016. I’m experienced in working with a wide range of personal issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, loneliness, gender/sex/relationship diversity, neurodiversity, relationships, sexual violence, identity, menopause, ageing, trauma, abuse, and spirituality. I welcome short- and longer-term work with adults and young people.

Whether you’re losing you sight or have been blind since birth I’m aware that your sensory differences will have unique implications for the way we work together, so right from our initial contact, your feedback is welcome and important to help us connect and attune. I can be reached by phone, text, email and will provide information in the format you need. Sessions can be held in person at accessible premises in Denbighshire, and remotely over the phone or by video-link.

I’ll collaborate to develop a way of working together to suit. Simply talking with a therapist who offers a warm and accepting presence may be enough, but I'm also resourced with a variety of other expressive media for you to experiment with if you choose. There’s an open invitation to work with writing, sand, clay, natural materials, images, somatic techniques, movement, and sound to explore experiences, process feelings and self-reflect without judgment.

For those who prefer the outdoors, I’m skilled in ecotherapy. My approach to this is about respecting and including Nature as second therapist to restore connection and balance between mind, body, emotion and the environment. Attending to landscapes, weather and life forms enriches and inspires our time together, awakening the senses and the spirit to what life offers.
