SERVICE DETAILS
Counselling offers a regular opportunity to talk over issues in your life with a skilled listener so you can reach a better understanding and decide the best way forward. Counselling can help you cope with:
- A mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder
- An upsetting physical health condition, such as infertility
- A difficult life event, such as a bereavement, a relationship breakdown, or work-related stress
- Difficult emotions, such as low self-esteem or anger.
Your counselling block will usually be for a maximum of 12 weeks. You can state your preferred time and day, and you can have the choice of a male or a female counsellor. You may be placed on a waiting list if your preference is not currently available. All our counsellors follow the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) code of practice to ensure that the best service possible is offered to you.
Counselling is available to anyone in South West Edinburgh aged 16 and over and can take place face-to-face, online, or by phone. You can self-refer or be referred by your GP, CPN, social worker, or other organisation you are working with.
