John Muirhead

I work Monday to Friday, morning, afternoon, and evening, and I currently have availability.

To be listened to and accepted for where you are in your life is important, for example, as we recover from socially isolating ourselves in recent years. 

I have been practicing person centred counselling for over 10 years, and I believe that a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate approach is key for healing.  

If you prefer, we can chat initially about counselling via mobile or email.

Alternatively, in the first session I give details about how counselling works, and explore what it is you are looking for in counselling, to help you decide what's a good way forward for you.

If you want to pursue counselling, we can meet on a weekly basis for as long as you feel you need to (typically 3 to 6 months).

I am married with two adult stepsons.

I believe that healing comes from empowerment through increased self-awareness and self-esteem, and integration through self-acceptance. I have often witnessed transformation as spiritual in nature.

Core to the counselling I offer is a person-centred approach.  Additionally, building compassion for self and resilience to come to terms with the challenges we face are also key elements of how I see the potential for healing.

Alongside listening, I offer counselling tools when needed to help with how we manage our day to day lives.

I know that finding a good match in a counsellor can take some time and sometimes requires meeting with a few.  

For the first session I ask for a £20 payment to cover administration and room hire costs.
