Not sure whether client‑centred therapy or EMDR is right for you? At Pause for Counselling we’ll work that out together. Client‑centred therapy suits anxiety, low mood and relationship struggles by giving you a safe space to explore feelings at your own pace. EMDR is especially effective for trauma, flashbacks and distressing memories, helping your brain reprocess painful experiences.

I am BACP‑accredited and personalise each plan and offer both in‑person sessions in Aberdeen (23 Rubislaw Den North) and secure online therapy, so you can access support where it suits you. Visit https://wix.to/lCPYgLi to learn more and book a friendly, no‑pressure chat.
