Anxiety

If you're struggling with anxiety, I am here to help. We'll work together to help you find the most helpful ways to address the anxiety that you are experiencing.

Low Mood & Depression

Depression can make it difficult to enjoy life and engage in activities you once loved. Working together we can identify what is affecting your mood and help you to feel more like yourself again.

Stress

Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Sometimes talking to friends of family can be difficult as you may not want to burden them, counselling is the space where you can speak freely and find ways to manage your stress levels.

I believe that healing begins with connection, and that therapy should honour your individuality, strengths, and lived experience.

I’ve supported clients through a wide spectrum of issues—from neurodivergence and identity exploration to grief, burnout, and life transitions. I also bring experience from my own life and community projects, reflecting my commitment to inclusive, socially aware practice.

If you’re looking for a therapist who meets you with warmth, flexibility, and respect, I’d be glad to hear from you.

My Approach

My approach is pluralistic—meaning I tailor therapy to suit your unique needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, we’ll work collaboratively to find what helps you most.

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities including Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches.

As a pluralistic counsellor, my approach is centred on flexibility, collaboration, and respect for your individuality. I recognise that each person is unique, and therefore, a one size fits all method is not effective.

Core Principles of My Pluralistic Approach

1. Collaborative Partnership

We work together to determine the most effective approaches for you. Your input is invaluable in shaping the direction of our sessions. This partnership ensures that therapy is aligned with your evolving needs and aspirations.

2. Flexibility and Adaptability

I integrate various therapeutic methods, such as Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches, to suit your individual needs. This flexibility allows us to adapt our approach as your circumstances and goals change.

3. Client-Centred Focus

You are at the heart of the therapeutic process. I respect and incorporate your cultural, social, and individual differences into our work together. This inclusivity ensures that therapy is relevant and respectful of your identity.

4. Outcome-Oriented Therapy

We focus on achieving specific outcomes that you find meaningful. Regular reviews of our progress allow us to adjust strategies as needed, ensuring that therapy remains effective and relevant to your goals.

5. Holistic and Strengths-Based Approach

I view you as resourceful and full of agency, an active partner in the process of change. Together, we identify your strengths and resources, building a comprehensive plan that addresses various aspects of your life.

How We Can Work Together

Exploring Your Current Experiences

We can create a safe, non-judgmental space to talk through your current feelings and experiences. Looking at the Past: If you wish, we can explore past events to better understand how they have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours today.

Learning Tools and Techniques

We can focus on strategies to manage daily challenges like anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming emotions. These might include relaxation or mindfulness techniques, journaling prompts, or cognitive strategies.

Together, we'll explore what’s most important to you and find the approach that works best for your hopes and goals. If you're unsure about what you need right now, that's okay—we'll figure it out together.

Pebblecairn counselling offers one to one counselling to all adults over 18.
