Counselling with Jackie

Hi Folks,
Life is messy right? Ever feel like your brain is so full and you can’t work through it?

Well that is one of the many things therapy can help with, my name is Jackie Quinn and I have been a Psychotherapist for over 5 years. Well that is one of the many things therapy can help with, my name is Jackie Quinn and I have been a Psychotherapist for over 5 years working predominantly with clients who experience mental health issues and childhood trauma. I trained as a person-centred therapist and over the past 4 years have had read extensively and attended as many CPD courses as I can. I am a sex-positive therapist and am kink friendly/knowledgeable. I believe nobody should be made to feel uncomfortable in my counselling room, therefore you can be confident in the knowledge that I will not judge your choices. Every client is treated with the same dignity and respect, equality is extremely important and i am always open to learning and adapting. In the current world climate more and more finding a safe, private and non-judgmental space to sort through our thoughts is becoming harder and harder. I work for a non-profit organisation here in Edinburgh and have some space for private clients. I predominantly work from home either through phone session or Zoom but I can offer face-to-face appointments on a Sunday and Monday in the Blackhall area of Edinburgh. So you’re here on my page which leads me to believe that you are thinking of looking for help…Yay you! The first step is often the hardest so you are here, what is therapy I hear you ask, so here is the official blurb:

I will provide a confidential, non-judgemental, safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and life patterns. Together we will explore your life situation and establish your desired goals. The aim of the counselling process is not for counsellors to solve client’s problems, rather a way to assist the growth process and self-awareness so you as the client are better equipped to deal with current and future problems. Therapy is different for everyone, I adapt my way of working and pace of working to each individual client. Therapy should not be thought of as a race to feel better, it is a marathon that at times can be painful and emotional but with a real sense of achievement at the end. There are no set time frames, some people just need a couple of sessions to work on something whereas others find therapy is a staple in their life. There are no expectations on you or set goals, you are free to make them as you go along but they are never enforced on you and should always be thought of as flexible. Regardless of how your journey goes and what ups and downs you may face, I will be jogging alongside you, encouraging and supporting the whole time. Some of the issues I work with regularly are:
Mental health struggles
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Anger management
Work/life related stress
Life/lifestyle changes
Sexual issues
Sexuality
Relationship problems
Kink Aware
LGBTQ Friendly
Self-esteem and confidence issues
This list is not exclusive or exhaustive so please feel free to contact me directly to discuss if I am the right therapist for you. I am fully aware that finding the right therapist is key to the success of your therapeutic journey, I also know that not everyone clicks, with this in mind I happily offer introduction sessions at a reduced rate. This allows you to ‘try’ before you buy, you get a chance to meet me, see how I work and decide if it is the right fit for you. Introductory first session call/zoom £25 (45 Mins)
Introductory First session face to face £30 (45 Mins)

First full session Call/Zoom £50 (1hr)
First full session Face to face £60 (1hr)

Some concession appointments available for low income please contact for availability.

I posted this on my personal Instagram recently about how healing is not a static, linear place we are on our way too, I felt maybe it was relevant for clients to see and hear also!

Had thee MOST fun last night at the inspiring volunteer awards! Listening to the stories of all the other volunteers in this city and what they did during the pandemic, was emotional, heart warming and down right inspirational!!
🥰
We spend Sooo much time being bombarded with the bad in this world that it is very easy to miss or forget all the amazing things that happen every single day!
This was an AMAZING way of being reminded that people are fundamentally good, kind, generous and loving! And when the chips are down, so many of us stepped up to keep this city going!
🥰
I am incredibly humbled to be classed in with all the amazing humans I met last night! Least of which the 98year old who still volunteers in his local community!!
🥰
It's easy to forget as the pandemic eases, how much work and time we put into the food distribution, counselling, checkin's and everything else we did for the past 18months. I am so proud of our whole team at The Health Agency, WE DESERVE this!! I am so very proud to be a part of such a life changing service!
🥰
If you are feeling bad about the world....Go volunteer, it is the best feeling in the world and you meet the best people in the world!!!
🥰
Speaking of feeling bad, I have a hangover like I haven't had since my 20s 🤣🤣 I am very glad to not be working today and having a well deserved rest day!! Thank you to everyone who volunteered over the last 18 months, who voted for us and our families for picking us up when we were exhausted and felt like we couldn't keep going last year!!

Do you ever wonder what therapy is? How is sitting with another person going to make me feel better??

How many people can honestly say that they have been in situations with another human where they have felt safe, not judged, and supported to say, think and feel anything they want? Along with gently being challenged at times about those ingrained beliefs about ourselves that actually are not true!

I thought of a million ways to try and Express this or articulate this for you but then I stopped and thought I can't do it justice, so I thought I would share carolyn Springs articulation of it. She says it better than I ever can...

I invite you to take a little time to listen to her podcast episode where she talks about the power of a therapeutic relationship from a clients perspective.

Join Carolyn as she talks about how important the relationship between therapist and client is, and what factors go into making a good one.

It's okay to feel stuck in this, it's okay to feel like we are repeating ourselves...I see you! 🥰🥰

The behind the scenes of the counselling on zoom! This is my trainee therapist scout 🤣 she is very unenthusiastic about learning to listen and would much rather just sleep...I feel I may be wasting my time! Friday's are the only day she is allowed in too counsel with me, she is available on request 🤣🤣 but don't have high expectations of her!

04/01/2021

When facing yet another lockdown, please please take care of your mental health. If you make one resolution let it be that!
Don't let social media, friends, family or strangers tell you it's not okay to miss the thing that brings you joy!
So many people were shamed for missing their gym, their hobby, or whatever else it was that they didn't have access to over lockdown! They were told it was superficial or less than someone else's Joy🤬🤬🤬
I'm here to tell you IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY!! IT'S OKAY TO MISS YOUR THING OR YOUR PERSON!
Happy New Year folks, stay safe and reach out when you need a little help...We all do sometime!
🥰
Comment below and let me know what you're missing?? Me? I miss getting my eyebrows waxed 🙈🙉🙊🤣🤣
