Joan Elliot

I currently have availability for face-to-face counselling on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, with both daytime and evening appointments available.

Online  sessions may also be available at other times.

I have been a qualified counsellor for over 20 years. During this time, I have gained extensive experience working across the public and charity sectors, supporting adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, bereavement, and relationship issues.

At times, we can lose our sense of direction or become overwhelmed by life's challenges, events, or relationships. I offer counselling in a confidential, warm, and welcoming space where you can talk openly about your experiences without fear of judgement or criticism. Counselling provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and feel truly heard.

I believe that every person is unique. By building a trusting therapeutic relationship, we will work together to explore the issues and difficulties you are facing, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. As your understanding grows, you can begin to build resilience, discover healthier ways of coping, and move towards the changes you want to make in your life.

I offer a free 30-minute introductory phone or video call where we can talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to achieve, and how I work. It's a chance for us to get to know each other, ask any questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit before deciding to continue.
