Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
With all immune-related conditions, there tends to be created an entire panoply of feelings that have the capability to weigh down people who have contracted them. In such cases, relational psychotherapy can be very useful in helping to overcome most non-productive feelings that a client might be facing. It can be relatively easy for clients to allow themselves to believe that their lives are somewhat spiralling out of control. What is most prevalent in the first number of sessions with this group of clients is how the shock of diagnosis can be displayed either by complete denial e.g.”I’m fine” or through a course of body modifications such as tattoos, piercings, cosmetic surgery. Amongst gay men who are HIV positive, it is not uncommon to develop an addiction for building as a means of masking their feelings of physical inferiority. Amongst this group, of clients, addictions in many ways forms a ghetto within a ghetto; they are gay men, but trap themselves further by becoming addicted to chemsex. This is quite a positive group to work with in regards to developments.
Equally, a client may bring to therapy an extreme sense of anxiety, brought on by receiving their diagnosis of conditions such as HIV or Hepatitis. Relational Psychotherapy can usefully contribute to assisting with the dispelling of such feelings.

Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
Hurting people need someone to help them heal. There is no magic wand and there is no magic counsellor for this. It is simply caring and at the same time to deal with trauma that may have been induced when the sentence and prognosis appeared to be pronounced as a sentence which could have been traumatising to the sufferer.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I have experience supporting individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as those impacted by trauma and chemsex-related difficulties, offering a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore the emotional, psychological, and relational impact of diagnosis, stigma, substance use, and long-term health management. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates psychoanalytic, relational, and somatic perspectives to support each client’s unique journey. I also draw on psychoeducation and may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) where appropriate to support emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Whether you are navigating grief, identity, relationships, intimacy, or the ongoing experience of living with a chronic condition or trauma history, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and the development of resilience.

Aberdeen's identity is defined by its role as the center of the North Sea oil and gas industry — a boom-and-bust economy that has created recurring cycles of prosperity and anxiety, and where therapists frequently address the occupational and psychological effects of energy sector uncertainty, offshore work stress, and the identity challenges of an industry in energy transition. The city has two major universities — the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University — generating significant student mental health demand and clinical training programs that feed into the local therapy community. NHS Grampian provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community. Aberdeen's geographical isolation at the northeast tip of Scotland, combined with the psychological effects of long, dark winters, means seasonal affective disorder and mood management are recurring clinical priorities.
