Help is at hand
I have worked with many different people, and have experience in supporting with:
Mental Health problems
Stress, anxiety, depression, low mood and low self esteem
Relationship Issues, parenting support, adolescence, identity, intimate relationships, domestic abuse and work relationships
Behaviour challenges
Addiction recovery
Trauma recovery
Managing life with a diagnosis (eg. ADHD, ASD, OCD)

......and much more
Sharing your problems confidentially is incredibly therapeutic.
I will be alongside you to help you gain some fresh perspective and find more ease in life.
We can achieve this through traditional Counselling or Talking Therapy, Walk and Talk therapy or Ecotherapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy. There is no need to decide at this point which avenue to take, as we will work together to identify the most helpful avenue to take for you.
Counselling and Psychotherapy
'Talking things through with Fairlie has helped me to find a new perspective and feel better in myself'
Therapy sessions are safe, confidential and non judgmental, so you can explore any aspect of your life with a sense of safety
Together we will make sense of what is troubling you, and process any painful feelings or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.
I will help you to develop new and healthy coping strategies that nourish your wellbeing, and help you to live in the present without being pulled into past reactivity.
We can explore your strengths, aspirations, values and goals, nourishing a positive sense of self, finding greater ease and comfort for yourself.
Everybody comes to counselling for different reasons, but common themes are stress, relationships, change, loss, parenting issues, and distressing or traumatic events.
Few of us function well when we are troubled or unhappy. Facing such difficulties with a compassionate other is a proven way to alleviate the pain and find greater peace and calm. I am here to offer this emotional support, helping you to get back on track and move towards fulfilling your potential.
If you'd like to know more, or book a session and find out for yourself, please do get in touch - I look forward to hearing from you

Children and parent testimonials ...
'My sessions with Fairlie have been fun - it doesnt feel like work at all!' BD
'Sometimes we talk about uncomfortable feelings, but Fairlie is calm and friendly and she really knew how to help me feel better about things'. SR
'She helped me feel relaxed about being there and helped me to realise that its normal to have all these feelings. Now I know what I can do to help myself feel better'. LP
My 10 yr old son was experiencing quite frightening panic attacks. After just a few sessions with Fairlie the panic attacks stopped. Through play and talk therapy, my son learnt about himself, his feelings, his emotions and his reactions to them.
He loved his sessions with Fairlie.
Fairlie's experience, knowledge and inspirational way of communicating has helped my son to find peace within himself and the world around him. He is happy and now an inspiration to me. KF
Safety isnt the absence of threat,
it is the presence of connection'
