About Us

Mindwork Counselling® and Psychotherapy was conceived in 2013 when we had a vision of providing counselling and psychotherapy services that would help people back to sustainable good mental health. We had seen that good counselling could change people’s lives, and that's what we wanted – to offer life-changing counselling and psychotherapy. We understand how the mind works and the "mindwork" needed to make positive change.

We began providing face to face services, eventually setting up our own premises in the City of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, UK. We soon realised that there were people many miles from Edinburgh who needed our support, who really wanted to change their lives, and we expanded our services to provide online counselling and psychotherapy. We now offer excellent online counselling through our highly trained online counsellors. When it comes to online working, we believe that no one is better than we are.

We now have clients not only right across the UK (including in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and so on) as well as across the globe whose lives have been positively changed through our work with them; people who now lead fuller, more enriched lives.

Our philosophy was a simple one: rather than offer a one size fits all approach, where we would choose the theoretical approach to suit us, our clients required a more tailored approach where we worked collaboratively with them to find what worked for them. We wanted our clients to trust us to help them find their own way forward rather than giving them the answers. We understood that it was our clients who were experts in their own lives, not us. 

Our philosophy is still the same because it works so well.

As integrative counsellors, we draw from different theoretical approaches to give our clients the best chance of finding their way forward to the better life they long for. 

But some things are the same for all our clients: we listen and offer empathy; we respect our clients and work ethically with them; we don’t judge our clients; we are honest with our clients and stick with them however tough things are. Our commitment is always to change lives for the better, and that is what we do.
