The Edinburgh Gardener Counselling Service
About the Therapist
I’m Chris, a person-centred counsellor based in Leith, with my practice overlooking the Shore. I welcome clients from across the UK for both face-to-face and online sessions. As a queer person and active member of the LGBT community, my personal journey has granted me valuable insight into the challenges of identity and acceptance. Having experienced prejudice and exclusion myself, I am deeply passionate about creating a safe, non-judgemental space where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. My commitment is to offer a therapeutic environment where all aspects of you are welcomed and respected, regardless of your background.

With thirty years’ experience supporting LGBTQ+ communities in the voluntary sector and NHS, my practice is grounded in providing affirming, accessible care to anyone who has felt marginalised or misunderstood. I have worked alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping clients explore complex feelings and navigate difficult experiences. My approach is guided by a belief in authenticity and the transformative power of resilient, supportive relationships. Whether you are seeking help with specific challenges or simply need a safe place to explore your thoughts and emotions, I am here to accompany you on your journey with genuine compassion and respect.

The initial appointment costs £20 and provides an opportunity for us to determine if we’re a good fit. Each follow-up session lasts 50 minutes and is priced at £40. You can pay through BACS, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, or digital wallets.
I aim to make therapy accessible so if cost is a concern, please reach out—we’ll work together to find an arrangement that works for you. NHS staff and carers are eligible for reduced rates.
