Talking can help
Sometimes friends and family are not available to listen or are too close to the problem.
Please contact me and we can arrange the first meeting, the first step to positive change!
Allison Knell Counselling & Psychotherapy
I specialise in Counselling and Psychotherapy in Edinburgh & East Lothian
I also offer Couple Counselling, Supervision and Mindfulness
Generally counselling helps people improve their sense of wellbeing, alleviate their distress, resolve their crises, increase their ability to solve problems, see other opinions and empowers them to make their own decisions.
Psychotherapy may be more helpful for psychological problems that have built up over the years.
Counselling and Psychotherapy helps people struggling with everyday issues who may need additional support to help them through challenging events in their life or identify negative patterns of relating or behaviour in order to develop more positive strategies and patterns going forward.
My role is to help you make sense of what is happening and not just label your experience. I believe the key to success is through the relationship of therapist and client and I work towards a carefully boundaried relationship where you can feel safe, tell your story and really be listened to. I offer empathy and space where you can feel valued and talk in comfortable surroundings.
I teach clients concepts of theory when appropriate to help them understand patterns of behaviour and empower them for the future.
Skype, Zoom & Phone Calls
In these every changing times I have decided not to offer face to face appointments at this time.
I can offer Skype, Zoom or Phone.
I feel there is a real need to stay connected and to fight feelings of isolation. Talking can help.
I can offer 30 minute or 50 minute sessions.
