Room for Therapy

Room for Therapy Hello. We're Room for Therapy

We help people to make productive meaning from their experiences, live more fully, heal and grow.

We understand that asking for help can be difficult, and it’s not always easy to know what kind of support you need. Our goal is to make the process of starting and engaging in therapy as simple and empowering as possible. We are a team of qualified and experienced psychotherapists based in Edinburgh, dedicated to supporting people in finding deeper understanding and compassion for themselves. While therapy can be challenging, we’ve thoughtfully designed spaces and a specific approach to meet clients’ needs in a way that feels human, accessible, and supportive.

✨Meet Gillian✨ - The latest member of our community 🎉

We are absolutely delighted to share that Gillian Burke has recently joined us at Room for Therapy. She is a qualified BACP registered pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist based in Edinburgh, who works with adults (18 yrs +) both in person and online, offering a flexible and supportive space tailored to clients needs. When asked to describe her practice, Gillian shares:

“I believe that counselling is a collaborative process, built on a foundation of trust. My approach is grounded in pluralistic values, which means I adapt the therapy to suit your individual needs, drawing on a range of methods and perspectives. Together, we work towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on in your life whether you're facing challenges, navigating change, or simply looking to understand yourself better.

Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in business and leadership roles. This professional experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life, including those navigating high-pressure work environments or seeking balance between personal and professional demands.”

Please join us in welcoming Gillian, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to explore the possibility of working with her. 📧

🌱 Becoming a mum can be as overwhelming as it is beautiful - full of changes, challenges, and emotions that aren’t always spoken about. In this short film, our facilitators share why we’re creating a therapy group especially for young mums: a safe, supportive space to be honest about the realities of parenthood and to connect with others who truly understand. 💙If you’d like to sign up or find out more, we’d love to hear from you - just drop us a message at contact@roomfortherapy.co.uk

🤱 Motherhood is a journey - and it’s okay if it feels overwhelming sometimes.

In those early months, it can be hard to find space for yourself, let alone space to talk honestly about how you’re really doing. That’s why we’ve created this group.

Starting mid-September, we’re offering a free 10-week group therapy programme for new mums in Edinburgh. It’s a warm, confidential space where you can share your experiences, listen to others, and feel supported - all guided by a professional therapist.

🎥 In this short video, you’ll hear from Neil, one of the founders of Room for Therapy, sharing what inspired this project and what you can expect if you join us.

🗓️ Friday mornings |
📍 LifeCare Centre, Cheyne Street
💬 No fee to attend (small donation suggested)

We’d love to welcome you.

Social media makes motherhood look picture-perfect - but the reality can feel very different. Many new mums feel isolated, overwhelmed, and ashamed for struggling.

1 in 5 women experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy or in the first year after birth. Yet shame often keeps us silent, making it hard to admit when things aren’t okay - even to other mums.

Our weekly group therapy sessions in Edinburgh are a safe space to share openly, without judgment. Here, you can be honest about the hard parts and know you’re not alone.

📍 LifeCare Centre, Stockbridge, Edinburgh
