Sally Counselling and Psychotherapy Supervision

I am passionate about counselling and am constantly inspired by the learning that I gain from it, about myself, others and how we are in relationships. I thoroughly enjoyed my supervision training and it has taught me that transparency and congruence are important qualities for me in the supervisory relationship.

I work from a person centred perspective and my views on therapy align with this modality. I am also currently studying to become a certified emotionally focused therapist. This modality is based on person-centred and attachment theory. In pursuit of this I am working with couples and other configurations of relationship. 

I work from a non-pathologising perspective believing that the labelling of distress, although helpful for some, can also be harmful and de-humanising. I am passionate about social justice, feminism and equality. 

I have a background as a paramedic and in social care working for 20 years in a charity supporting people with HIV and hepatitis C. I have always been drawn to work with marginalised groups, people who experience stigma and struggle to be accepted. I have over 1500 hours of counselling experience, gained in a college setting with students and in private practice. 

I can offer supervision in-person from Edinburgh near Haymarket and I also offer online.
