EDINBURGH COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY PRACTICE REVIEWS

If you have lost your way and are looking for a professional yet friendly and highly knowledgeable therapist to help you get back on track in your life, then Simon is the man you want to see. Simon shares practical skills and tools that you can easily apply in everyday life to help you make long term, sustainable change. I cannot say enough good things about Simon and his approach to therapy and cannot recommend him enough. He tends to have a waitlist but it's worth the wait.

Simon played a crucial role in helping me cope with anxiety and major life changes. So glad I found a therapist who was always genuine, patient, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. Although I’ve taken a break from therapy, I’ll continue to use the highly personalised tools he’s shared with me over the past years. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to start therapy.

Working with Simon was an incredible experience! Being able to have a therapist who is incredibly grounded, honest, and humorous was a refreshing experience. I came in searching for structure and support and I received this above and beyond. This isn't to say the journey is easy (doing self-work never is haha) but I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you Simon.

LOUISE MCBRIDE COUNSELLING AND SUPERVISION REVIEWS

Louise was amazing!! She truly helped me change my life and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her support. She challenged me to think differently and find my own way. Louise made me feel completely comfortable and supported. This allowed me to fully express myself for the first time in my life. She does amazing work, and provides a safe space which allows you to dig deep within yourself. Her warm presence, down to earth nature, and witty humour was exactly what I needed to express myself. Louise saved my life in so many ways and I will never be able to thank her enough.

Louise offers a warm, welcoming and safe environment (in person or online) to open up and begin learning to understand your self. Her counselling allowed me to reflect on, explore and understand the roots of the stresses and anxieties in daily life in order to address and develop healthy coping mechanisms and strategies to manage them successfully. I recommend Louise's service wholeheartedly. I can see and feel a significant positive difference in my thinking and how I view myself before and after counselling.

Louise helped me enormously with understanding and coping with my partner's mental health problems, and ultimately with coming to terms with his death and helping me find a way forward. I learned a lot about myself as I discussed my situation with Louise, although it was all done in a very gentle and non judgemental way.

MY SOLUTION WELLBEING COUNSELLING EDINBURGH REVIEWS

We've been having regular sessions with the wonderful Sherry since the start of the year who has been an excellent counsellor for us. She's been above all patient, gentle, friendly and knowledgeable. I was nervous at first about starting any type of family therapy but I quickly let go of those reservations. My daughter is still quite young but bonded almost immediately and now loves having her Sherry Time. I'd recommend Sherry wholeheartedly, as she's empathetic, encouraging and her sessions with us have been so beneficial - please keep up the great work you do! (It seems everyone is in agreement!).

Helen was fantastic to work with. My husband and I had just 3 sessions with her and felt huge transformation in the way we communicate with one another, which has hugely strengthened our marriage. Helen is perceptive, kind and compassionate in her approach. She helped us gain clarity and I am so grateful for it. We will continue seeing Helen in future - I couldn't recommend her more.

I’ve been seeing Trisha since June and she has been fantastic, she talks through everything with so much detail and really helps me understand why I’m experiencing the things that I am. She is so lovely and it’s so nice having someone to talk to every week. I 100% recommend if you’re struggling with anything.
