Polly Bennett

I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist in central Edinburgh.

I work both from EH1 Therapies at 4B Randolph Place, EH3 7TQ and from Blue Morpho, 26A Broughton Street, EH1 3SB.

 I will work with you as a whole person to find and create a space for change and growth. In this busy world it can be incredibly difficult to pause and see with clarity how to be who we want to be. It is my belief that change is possible. Counselling and psychotherapy is one way to begin that change you are searching for. I know that you are the expert on your own life. 

In listening deeply alongside asking questions I will reflect aspects of you which may struggle to be known. I know the importance of feeling heard and understood in relation to another. I am Psychodynamically trained in the understanding of how our histories shape us and how we might find ways to reconnect with ourselves. I also work from relational, transpersonal and somatic perspectives. Alongside my work as a therapist I have many years of experience working in mental health, equalities and creativity.

My fee for a standard 50 Minute session is £60, at times I can offer a concession. The first session is an initial consultation for us to have a talk and find out if I am the right counsellor for you. Finding the right fit is important.

My approach is about the whole self of my clients. What emerges in the session and arises from the themes explored is all relevant to this work I do. I will take a history from the perspective of understanding the particularity of your difficulties. In a sense this is the work of building a map as trust grows and making sense of threads and links. I also consider what parts are speaking to us from which time of life. This helps to provide a framework of spaciousness for the thoughts that might run around in our heads. I focus on your strengths alongside the difficulties in order to strengthen the aspects of you which manage well.

My work is depth based and seeks to heal the roots of issues.

The initial consultation is 50 minutes long. In this session you will have a chance to get a feel for what I do as I describe it to you. I will also want to know why you have come and what you are looking for and will ask for a quick run through of your history to understand the context for your desire to grow and heal.

This session is standalone and I will expect to hear from you over the next week to let me know whether you would like sessions or not.

The fee is £60.
