Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
I decided on this profession as having had therapy myself I know that it can make such a difference and I'm passionate about helping others fulfill their potential and not be held back in life by issues that can be dealt with. It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where I can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.
I have worked with people on a wide variety of issues including OCD, phobias, tokophobia (fear of pregnancy and childbirth) general anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationships and weight issues. I am an Accredited Member of COSCA, the professional body for counsellors in Scotland and am fully insured by the Psychologists Protection Society.

Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
People come to therapy for a number of reasons; you may be experiencing trauma or bereavement, the effects of historical issues, or knock on effects of the pandemic. A lot of people come to therapy because life just feels unmanageable and are struggling with day to day living. You may not know why life currently feels so difficult.
Talking with a trained and experienced counsellor can help you accept and move through your issues, give you the tools and understanding to cope better with life's challenges and discover a freedom to live with and beyond the things that are holding you back.
Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to.
