Counselling in Edinburgh & Online Across the UK

You may be here because something in your life or relationships doesn’t feel quite right.
Perhaps things have felt difficult for a while, or maybe you’re going through a particularly challenging time. You might be experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt or a sense of feeling stuck.
At times, you may feel lonely — even around others — or notice a lingering sense of unease that’s hard to explain. You might find yourself people-pleasing, struggling in relationships, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand.
You may not have all the answers yet. You might not even be sure why you’re here — only that something needs to change. That’s okay. We can begin there, together.
Counselling offers a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what you’re experiencing. With the right support, it’s possible to understand yourself more deeply, work through difficulties, and begin to create meaningful, lasting change.
At The Edinburgh Counselling Service, we offer a range of counselling and psychotherapy services tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for support with a specific issue or a space for ongoing personal growth, we’re here to help.
We provide individual counselling, couples counselling, children and young people’s counselling, drop-in sessions, and concession options, with both in-person counselling in Edinburgh and online sessions across the UK.
We offer both short-term counselling (4–8 sessions) and longer-term therapy (8+ sessions), allowing you to find an approach that fits your needs and your life.
Explore our services below to find the support that feels right for you.
Consultation Service
A gentle first step into counselling, offering space to explore what has brought you here and what you might need. Together, we can begin to understand your situation, your goals, and whether working together feels right for you. There is no obligation to continue after this session.
Individual Counselling
A supportive and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and work towards positive change. We support individuals experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges and perfectionism.
Concession Counselling
A supportive and confidential space offered at a reduced rate, making counselling more accessible when finances feel like a barrier. Sessions are provided by carefully selected trainee counsellors, who are professionally supervised and committed to offering thoughtful, compassionate support.
Counselling for Students
A safe and understanding space for students navigating the pressures of academic life and beyond. Whether you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling overwhelmed, counselling can help you find balance, build resilience and feel more supported during your studies.
