Belinda Hook

I am an Integrative counsellor working from a psychodynamic base and integrating modalities such as gestalt therapy, TA, and some transpersonal therapies. If those words mean nothing to you then simply put I offer client led talking therapy, a space to be heard in. I can also offer some practical and creative exercises in times of feeling stuck, but only if you are happy to try them. My work is client led, safe, and in accordance with the BACP Ethical framework. I work with the utmost integrity providing a warm and non-judgmental atmosphere. In addition to my home practice I work as a substance use counsellor. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.

I offer a free initial session online/over the telephone, this is to give clients a chance to get to know me and decide if they would like to work with me. Subsequent sessions are charged at £50 per hour. EMDR sessions are £70 for assessment (process) sessions, which can take an hour and a half.

EMDR Counsellor

I offer therapy in a face to face setting, from my home in Innerleithen. I am also qualified to offer therapy online, or over the telephone if you prefer this.

EMDR therapy is effective online and in person, but cannot be practiced over the telephone.

The first session is free of charge, online or over the phone. This is to give us the opportunity to meet and get to know each other a little. I will explain the contract and details of our work, and we can discuss your needs and aims for therapy. From there I will send you a copy of the contract, and if you are happy to begin work, we can arrange our first working session.

I am now seeing clients from Edinburgh in an online/phone capacity only. EMDR therapy is as effective online as it is in person.

EMDR Psychotherapy

 Counselling and EMDR therapy is effective both online, and face to face. Counselling can be effective over the telephone if that is preferable for you, but EMDR cannot be.

I offer a free initial meeting, to give me the opportunity to describe how I work, and our contract details. From there we can discuss your needs and aims for therapy, and get to know each other a little. Following that I will send a copy of our contract, and with that you can make an informed decision as to whether you would like to commence work with me, or not. If you decide you'd like to try EMDR therapy, I will send you a DES questionnaire to help assess your suitability for it.
