A Quiet Room for Clients

MEET THE THERAPISTS

Our experienced therapists come from a range of professional backgrounds and trainings and bring a wealth of experience to their work. They can offer support with many different issues, working both short and long term. The approach that is right for you will depend on your individual situation and what you’re seeking from therapy. However, for most clients, the quality of the relationship between them and their therapist is what impacts most on their experience and a positive outcome. A Quiet Room by the Shore is a place where you can talk about what’s happening in your life with someone trained to listen and support you.

Our view of counselling and psychotherapy is that you are the expert on your life. It is our job to work with you each week, facilitating change by helping you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Please find out about each member of our team, their individual approaches to counselling and psychotherapy, as well as their areas of focus and expertise, by checking their profiles below.

All therapists at A Quiet Room by the Shore share a common passion for therapeutic work as well as a commitment to our own ongoing personal and professional development.

Groups and Workshops

In addition to individual counselling and psychotherapy, A Quiet Room by the Shore provides opportunities for further self exploration, personal growth and development. Please check in often for updates about forthcoming groups, workshops, or other activities on offer.

A Quiet Room for Practitioners

OUR SPACE

A Quiet Room by the Shore is located on the ground floor of a modern building on a secluded street in the heart of historic Leith. Our client reception is warm and welcoming, with tea and coffee making facilities. Host to an expanding team of practitioners, at present, A Quiet Room by the Shore has space to accommodate both established and emerging counsellors and psychotherapists.

Our three consulting rooms, The Meadow, The Woodland and The Munro, have been created specifically with ‘talking therapies’ in mind. Individual rooms are professionally soundproofed with floor to ceiling frosted windows. Each space is light and airy with interiors finished to a very high standard, using a mixture of soothing colours and textures.
