Professional counselling in Edinburgh’s West End - accessible, affordable, confidential services
Physis Affordable Counselling offers affordable, in-person counselling and psychotherapy in a calm, professional setting in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, navigating a stressful period, or simply need a space to talk things through, we’re here to help.
Our sessions are delivered by volunteer counsellors and psychotherapists completing supervised practice placements. Every practitioner is PVG-checked, and works under the guidance of experienced professional supervisors - so you will receive a high standard of care.
Our counselling services
Racing thoughts and constant worry. If anxiety is getting in the way of your daily life, talking it through with a trained professional can help you understand what’s driving it - and find a way forward.
Work pressure, relationship strain, life changes you didn’t plan for. Stress isn’t weakness - it’s a signal. Counselling gives you a confidential space to untangle what’s going on and start managing it.
Counselling can help you understand what might be contributing to your depression, make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and begin to find your own way through.
Sometimes you don’t need a label for what you’re feeling. You just need somewhere safe to say it out loud. Our sessions offer that space - unhurried, confidential, and without judgement.
During periods of change, it’s common to feel as though you’re the only one struggling. Your counsellor can help you explore what the transition means to you, and how to find your footing in new territory.
Difficulties in relationships are one of the most common reasons people seek counselling. Individual counselling focuses on you - your experience and what you want to be different.
Not everyone who comes to counselling has a specific problem they can name. Your counsellor will help you make sense of what’s going on at your own pace, following what matters to you.
