I qualified (as a Person Centred Counsellor) and a member of BACP in 2006. Since then I have worked in mental health, substance misuse and, more recently, for unpaid carers' organisations - one being a Macmillan funded project. This was in Esssex where I lived for many years. I'm now semi-retired and live in rural Shropshire and counsel, on a voluntary basis, with The Brain Tumour Charity.

I'm Astrid Coxon (PhD, MBPsS, MBACP) and I'm a person-centred counsellor and psychologist. I offer both short and long-term therapy for adults, through one-to-one sessions, either face-to-face at my private practice or online via Zoom. Although many of the people I work with choose to have regular weekly sessions, I offer flexibility in session delivery - I appreciate that a regular weekly timeslot is not possible or preferable for everyone.
I have worked with clients from a broad range of backgrounds, exploring issues related to low mood, stress, sexuality, gender identity, neurodiversity, self-harm, perfectionism, relationships, chronic illness, and work conflict. I offer reduced fees for students or low-income.
I specialise in life transitions - perhaps you've had a life-changing diagnosis, relationship difficulties, or are considering making a significant career change. I'm interested in how we negotiate these transitions, exploring the decision-making process, and supporting clients at 'forks in the road.'

Hi there, I’m Carol, a Person-Centred counsellor working from Edinburgh in person, by telephone and online. I qualified at University of Aberdeen and work in private practice and for a Carers organisation. I am a Registered Member of a counselling ethical body (NCPS) and am fully insured. 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.

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.

My approach is collaborative and adaptable, ensuring that the therapy we engage in is tailored specifically to meet your needs and goals. I have loads of experience in helping people deal with and overcome really difficult things like anxiety, depression, anger, loss, bereavement and trauma. I consider it a real privilege to be given the opportunity to connect with people through counselling and support individuals in making the changes that are meaningful and positive in their lives and relationships. Every individual is different, as is every counselling session. I am flexible in my approach to counselling with training and experience in a range of different ways of working. However, I am always honest, reliable, fair and ethical. I practice with integrity and a genuine care for my clients' wellbeing, growth and development.

Hi, my name is Emma, I am a senior accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical and professional framework. The people closest to us can find it hard to be impartial and want to rescue us from our discomfort, often providing us with what we ‘should’ or ‘ought’ to do. Counselling is different. We will work collaboratively to explore the root cause of the difficulties you are facing. You will be in control of your journey, and we will work at your pace. I will work through your emotions and thought processes with you, allowing you the space to process how you are feeling. My role is to help you expand your awareness and better understand yourself, enabling you to move forwards towards a more fulfilling life. I am qualified to work with adults, children, young people and couples.

My mode of therapy is psychodynamic, based on Freudian psychoanalysis focused on Freudian theory. Here, Freud’s basic, central, premise was his view of the mind. Freud’s belief intimated that some of what we experience on a day-to-day basis e.g. emotions, beliefs and impulses; takes place in the unconscious and is not available to the conscious mind. He also used the concept of repression to demonstrate that although an individual may not remember a (traumatic) event happening to them, the memory is locked away in the unconscious. However, the memory remains in the unconscious and can reappear in consciousness under certain circumstances, (e.g. times of high stress), causing problems for us even in the unconscious. Similarly, my belief, is that the unconscious mind governs behaviour to a much greater degree than people suspect. My therapy involves deep exploration of clients’ past to access, and understand, the root cause of their problems

I’ve had the privilege of working with people impacted by sight loss since 2023. Living with sight loss can be challenging and overwhelming and it may be helpful to talk to someone impartial about your feelings and concerns. As a counsellor I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor who is a Registered Member of the BACP and an Accredited Registrant with NCPS. Based in Glasgow, I offer a non-judgemental, supportive, and confidential space in which to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that is comfortable for you.
As an integrative counsellor I draw upon the Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) modalities whilst using a trauma-informed approach. This allows me to adapt how we work together to best suit your needs and the issues you are experiencing.
My aim is to facilitate discovery; uncover ways to withstand and embrace life with comfort and curiosity, to honour your needs, learn how to soothe yourself and engage with positive, sustainable growth.
Your individuality, values and goals will help guide how we work together to support your journey towards a more positive, grounded, authentic and resilient life.

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.

Accredited EMDR practitioner with EMDR Europe
Accredited CBT Therapist with the BABCP

I am accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold additional qualifications in Psychology, Health & Social Care, disability and Mental Health studies. In addition to specialist training, I have significant experience of working with clients affected by sight loss and the demands it can have on daily functioning and independent living. I am also informed by my own journey of sight loss which has given me some understanding of the emotional impact of such a significant change. I offer a confidential space to listen, accept and work with clients to find sources of support and strategies to help increase confidence and self esteem. I promote the idea that each client's experience is unique and while they cannot change what has happened to their sight, it may be possible to shape what happens next.

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, in a variety of contexts including non-profit, community, retirement facilities, employee support and healthcare. My earlier career was in education sector with children where I developed a strong interest in ability diversity.
I welcome short- and longer-term work with adults with issues around stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, loneliness, gender/sex/relationship diversity, neurodiversity, relationships, sexual violence, identity, menopause, ageing, trauma, abuse, and spirituality.
I’ll seek to understand you and your needs, collaborating 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 sometimes working non-verbally can support connection and reflection, so I'm also resourced with a variety of expressive media for you to experiment with if you choose. There’s an open invitation to work with sand, clay, natural materials, art materials, somatic techniques, movement, and sound to explore ideas and process feelings.
I appreciate that people respond differently depending on context. I am enjoy working outdoors and I’m skilled in including Nature as second therapist - attending to what it’s landscapes, weather and life forms offer to enrich and inspire our time together.

I am a qualified integrative therapist and accredited sight loss counsellor, who can support with a wide range of issues. I specialise in grief and loss, particularly for parents and family members who have experienced the death of a baby or child of any age or gestation. My friendly, competent approach focuses on you as an individual, tailoring our time together in a way which feels most meaningful and helpful to you.
If you are a bereaved parent or family member: As a bereaved parent myself, I understand the difference meaningful bereavement therapy can make to your grief and your ongoing love for the precious child you are remembering. I work extensively with bereavement charities to offer a concessionary rate for bereaved families, who have been referred into me. If you are bereaved of a much-loved baby, child, or pregnancy, and you are self-referring as a service user of the RNIB. Please do let me know, to be offered this reduced rate.
