In-person therapy sessions take place at The Life Academy in Edinburgh. This serene and welcoming centre is the perfect location for privacy and comfort, allowing us to explore your challenges in peace.
1
Why choose in person?
-
Safety/ privacy. You may not have a private or secure space available at home for remote/ online appointments.
-
Separation of everyday life and counselling. Going to a physical location can help us get into the right mental space for therapeutic work.
-
Comfort. You may feel more comfortable meeting me face to face, it may feel more 'real' to you.
-
Access. Online appointments may not be available to you due to lack of technology or challenges/ discomfort engaging with technology or a disability such as sensory processing disorder.
