Edinburgh Counselling Associates

Couples Counselling

I help self-motivated couples calmly get to grips with recurring issues and conflicts to increase satisfaction in relationships.
If you are short of time but have a pressing need to get closer to your partner, I am a trained, neutral third party. I can help you gain perspective and understand your part in the difficulty you are facing.
I do this by teaching listening and communication skills, along with anger and anxiety management techniques. I also provide insights into your particular relationship dynamic. Ever wondered why you never argued, until you got into this relationship? Couples counselling can help you find out. This helps you challenge assumptions, be more accepting of your partner and feel more loved and accepted.
Even if you do choose to separate or divorce, doing it amicably bears fruit in the long run.

Individual Counselling

Counselling helps you to address the effects of issues such as stress, anxiety, bereavement and illness without having to go into deeper rooted issues. If you want to get on with your life, feel better and have a plan of action in place, counselling is for you.
Like psychotherapy, counselling is a joint process between us and together we decide what you want to change.
I help clients who feel trapped in relationships feel they are isolated socially and can’t move forward. Counselling addresses a wide range of issues and even speaking to an impartial person can help.
