Who We Are

​

I started Armchair Therapies because I kept meeting brilliant therapists who were looking for offices to work from that fit their style of working and their approach.  Also as a therapist myself I never found a therapy room which felt the way I wanted it to feel for me and my clients.  I wanted a space that was warm and comfortable and indicated to my clients that this wasn't just another dull clinical looking office with no personality.

​

A few years later, it's grown into a small, carefully chosen group of counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists working across Edinburgh City and Leith - but the reason for doing it hasn't changed. Finding a therapist can feel like a big enough step without also having to guess whether they're the right fit. I wanted a way to make that first step a little less daunting.

​

Why "the right therapist, not just any therapist"

Every therapist on Armchair Therapies is here because I've personally met them. I have vetted their qualifications and approach and they are genuinely wonderful therapists. I'm not interested in filling a directory, I'm interested in making sure that when you reach out to someone, there's a genuine chance they're a good fit for you.

​

What you can expect

All of our therapists are registered with recognised professional bodies - the BACP, NCPS and others - and work within their codes of ethics. All are in ongoing supervision and training, because good therapists never finish learning.

​

Whether you meet in person at our Edinburgh City or Leith offices, or online, the space is built around the same thing: somewhere calm, confidential, and entirely yours for the hour.

​

Getting started

If you're not sure where to begin, that's alright.  You can browsing by what we can help with, when you are available to meet with someone and you can reach out directly and we can help recommend a good fit.  All these ways are good places to start. No perfect words required.
