Edinburgh Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice

About Us

At Edinburgh Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, we create a welcoming environment for you to address life’s challenges. Founded by Simon Johnston, our practice offers professional counselling and psychotherapy that is approachable, down-to-earth, and effective.

We know that seeking therapy can feel intimidating. However, just like hiring a plumber or a locksmith, talking to a professional can make a significant difference to your wellbeing. Often, the conversations we have with family or friends don’t provide the depth needed for true healing. That’s where we step in.

Simon Johnston, the founder, understands what it feels like to need therapy. After experiencing the benefits of psychotherapy firsthand, Simon is dedicated to making it accessible for everyone. With his experience and grounded approach, he helps clients navigate their emotional and mental health challenges in a way that is both practical and healing.

Our Services

We offer a range of therapy services tailored to meet your specific needs. Simon uses evidence-based interventions, ensuring that each approach is effective and focused on your personal journey. Here’s a brief overview of what we offer:

Counselling and Psychotherapy
Our one-on-one therapy sessions provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your feelings and challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, Simon will work with you to understand and address your concerns.

Personalised Psychological Approaches
We don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, we use a combination of techniques — including psychodynamic, transactional, and multi-modal therapies — depending on what will benefit you the most. Simon applies the right approach for your unique situation, allowing for a more effective and tailored therapeutic experience.

Free Initial Consultation
We offer a free initial consultation to help you decide if we are a good fit. This session lets you ask questions, understand our approach, and determine if you feel comfortable working together.

Additional Information

We believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the trust it builds. Our practice is designed to help you feel comfortable, confident, and supported. Simon brings his personal experience and professional expertise to every session, ensuring that therapy feels approachable and relevant to you.

Our goal is to guide you through the therapeutic process with care and professionalism. If you ever feel that our approach isn’t the right fit, we will discuss it openly and explore other options. Ultimately, your journey towards healing is our top priority.
