About Us
www.edinburghcounselling.org Calming the mind and body
Hello and welcome
I am Stuart Armstrong and the founder of Mindfrequency Counselling and www.edinburghcounselling.org It is my goal to provide you with the very best in counselling and psychotherapy services.
To this end I am a student of, and promote Transactional Analysis counselling and psychotherapy. I believe this modality offers a variety of ways to uncover how events and relationships from the past intrude into our here and now lives, causing us distress and raising barriers that prevent us from engaging fully with our current relationships and the greater world around us.
I am a firm believer in the relationship between therapist and client being the greatest factor in facilitating effective and lasting therapeutic change. A solid therapeutic relationship allows clients to explore the concepts of autonomy and spontaneity, while providing the essential building blocks for the development and strengthening of self esteem and personal potency.
I have worked with individuals and groups in various facets of self development for 20 years, including 13 years within the Scottish Prison Service and 7 years within the NHS setting; using techniques from Transactional Analysis, NLP and other brief therapy coaching and training systems.
I bring experience from challenging behavioural settings and nurturing coaching settings, blending and adapting my approach to best suit the needs of my clients. I use humor, warmth, sensitivity and strength along with wonderment at the tenacity people, from all backgrounds, show in overcoming adversity.
I work in accordance with the guidelines and ethical codes of the Institute of Transactional Analysis (ITA) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
