Warm and supportive counselling for individuals and couples face-to-face and online

Welcome.

We offer face-to-face counselling in the Moray area of Scotland, and online counselling nationwide. We specialise in both individual and couples counselling.

If you’ve landed here, then the chances are that you’re struggling with thoughts, emotions, or behaviours that seem out of your control. Maybe you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or issues with addiction. There could be conflict in your relationship that you feel you can’t resolve. Whatever has brought you here, it’s likely that the problems seem too big to cope with by yourself, and you feel trapped in a repeating pattern or behaviour. This is where we can help.

We are Anna and Neil, two MBACP psychotherapists and a couple who have been together for over 30 years. We specialise in helping individuals and couples who are struggling with a range of issues, and you can choose which one of us you’re most comfortable talking to.

You are not alone. Struggling with difficult thoughts, emotions or behaviours can be overwhelming, a very lonely place where you feel like the only person who isn’t coping. However, an estimated 1 in 4 people experience mental health difficulties every year.

Starting the search for a counsellor is the first step on the journey to feeling better. It is also a brave move to reach out and ask for help on that journey.

It may be that you feel too scared, embarrassed or ashamed to share your difficulty with someone you know. That’s where, as professional counsellors, we can help. We offer a completely safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment for us to work through your problems together. You are not alone.

If you’d like to book a free, short introductory call / online meeting to discuss how we can work together, then please get in touch. The initial consultation gives you a chance to meet us as people, not just names on a website! Whoever you choose to become your counsellor, it’s important to feel like you have a good connection and are comfortable in the relationship.
