Hello, I’m Vicki Cowan, a BACP-registered counsellor offering person-centred counselling in Edinburgh. I’m a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work to their ethical framework. My core training is in the person-centred approach, and I integrate other therapeutic approaches where I believe they will be of value.

 Is counselling right for me?

You might be looking for a counsellor in Edinburgh because you’re struggling and feel you’ve tried everything else. You may be in crisis, or living with long-term unhappiness or anxiety. You may simply not know how to feel better. Counselling can help.

How person-centred therapy works

I’ll help you identify what you want to focus on and define small, achievable steps towards it. Together we’ll explore any blocks holding you back, focus on how you want to feel, and uncover the resources you already have. You hold the answers, and I’ll support you in finding them.

As your therapist, I bring insight, compassion and curiosity. I use my training and experience to make  sessions a space where you can be open and truly heard. The therapeutic relationship we build can help you understand and accept yourself and give your life more meaning.

What I can help with

I offer counselling in Edinburgh for:
– Anxiety and depression
– Low self-confidence and self-compassion
– Bereavement, grief and loss
– Difficulty connecting with emotions
– Childhood issues
– Relationship difficulties
– Trauma and abuse

Whether you have a specific issue or a general feeling that things aren’t quite right, I’d be happy to hear from you.

Contact me today to book an initial counselling session in Edinburgh.

About me

Outside of work, I love being in nature and the outdoors. I enjoy Edinburgh’s big skies and green spaces.
