I offer a private and confidential psychotherapy and counselling service for individuals at The Beech Tree in Kirriemuir, Angus. The aim of this service is to work with you to help you to understand yourself better, recognise options, resolve difficulties, improve relationships and experience a sense of greater well being. Psychotherapy and counselling are helping processes involving a talking relationship between the therapist and client(s).
The overall aim is to help the client relieve their distress and suffering and to promote their growth and healing. The process involves the therapist and client exploring together the client's feelings, thoughts and behaviours to achieve understanding, insight and a new experience. The therapist will listen, making no judgements. Instead, the therapist will help you make sense of your experience, thoughts and emotions.
The therapist will help you recognise patterns, discover meanings and where appropriate explore options. Psychotherapy and counselling can help those who are suffering from emotional distress and personal difficulties, or mental health issues and who wish for understanding and insight and to make changes in their lives.

Services
Sometimes we experience challenging situations that are outside our ability to manage in our usual ways.
The therapist will work with you to help you to explore and understand your situation or the event that you have come to counselling to address, and help you make the appropriate changes or adjustments in your life.
Counselling can be described as shorter-term work, which focuses more on specific issues and events.
At times we want to address the deeper underlying causes of our persistent dissatisfaction or unhappiness and recurring problems.

I am an experienced therapist and have worked full-time offering counselling and psychotherapy since 1997.

I use Transactional Analysis as the theoretical basis for my work as it offers an array of theories and methods to provide psychotherapy and counselling at the cognitive, behavioural, affective, physiological, and relational levels.

In the initial consultation session, you have an opportunity, in strict confidence, to discuss your problems and what is troubling you, and to ascertain what form of therapy might be appropriate.
This is an an ideal opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns about what is involved in counselling or psychotherapy prior to any commitment.
If a decision is made to start work together then regular weekly sessions at mutually agreeable times are arranged.
This appointment lasts for 50 minutes and costs 50.

Crossing thresholds is a way of moving from one state of being to another, but they can be frightening places, confronting us with uncertainty and change.
Being creatures of habit, it is easier for us to stay with the known and familiar, yet if we refuse to confront what lies beyond the threshold we can remain in a stagnant condition.
What is on the other side of the threshold may be actively enticing you into a new experience, a lesson that will develop your skills.
Beech can signify the death or end of something, but also stand for the changes that rise through realisation.
