A Quiet Room

Clients Therapists

About

Established in 2018, A Quiet Room by the Shore is the professional home of a vibrant community of independent counselling and psychotherapy practitioners. Tucked away in the heart of the Shore in Edinburgh we offer effective and accessible counselling and psychotherapy to adults, children, young people, couples and groups.

Formed with a single purpose in mind: to provide a space that feels welcoming, inclusive, calm and supportive both clients and therapists, A Quiet Room by the Shore is a space designed to encourage growth, learning and development.

We warmly welcome clients of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, religions and races.

 

 

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.

    A Quiet Room for Practitioners

    OUR SPACE

    A Quiet Room by the Shore is located on the ground, and will soon expand into the 1st floor of a modern building on a secluded street in the heart of historic Leith. Our client reception is warm and welcoming.

    Professional home to an expanding team of practitioners, A Quiet Room by the Shore provides space to 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.

    As of January 2022, we are working on the expansion of A Quiet Room by the Shore with the aim to add two additional consulting rooms and a large community room for group therapies and other workshops to our existing setting. We hope to have these works completed towards the end of July 2022.

    We are happy to receive enquiries from counsellors and psychotherapists. If you think you might like to join our group and would like to visit to take a look around, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
