Online Counselling and Therapy in Aberdeen

Yes, and that is a common way to arrive. A first session is mostly listening: what your days look like, what changed, what you have already tried on your own. A shape tends to emerge within two or three meetings. Nobody expects you to turn up with the problem already named and tidy.

There is no fixed number. Six to twelve is a common stretch for present-focused work, and we review as we go rather than signing you up in advance. If it turns out you want to look at older patterns, we can talk about longer work then. Stopping when you feel steadier is a good outcome.

The 15-minute consultation is free and puts you under no obligation at all. After that a standard session is £80 for 60 minutes. If you want more room in one sitting, 90 minutes is £100 and 120 minutes is £120. You pay session by session, so you are never buying a block up front.

It is usually worth it. Here your GP is the door to NHS psychological therapies, and they can also check whether anything physical is feeding the tiredness. NHS inform has reliable self-help to be going on with, and Breathing Space, free on 0800 83 85 87, is there when the night is long.

Use headphones and choose a time when the flat is quietest, usually mid-morning during term. A bedroom door with music playing beyond it is generally enough. If the place is genuinely never empty, we can look at an early slot before lectures start rather than an evening one.

Yes. Working by secure video means where you live matters far less. Sessions reach you at home in Aberdeen or anywhere in the north-east, so there is no long drive south for a confidential hour. All you need is somewhere private and a connection.

Often within days. We start with a free 15-minute call, then arrange your first secure video session around your rota and week. There is no NHS Grampian waiting list to join and nothing to travel to, so getting started from Aberdeen is usually straightforward.

Counselling is £80 for 60 minutes, with 90-minute and two-hour options at £100 and £120, plus a free 15-minute consultation. NHS Grampian talking therapy is free but can carry a wait this far north, so private sessions mainly buy a sooner, more flexible start.

It does. Secure video reaches a flat in the city or a room at home wherever you have signal and privacy, offshore weeks aside. Sessions feel natural once they begin, and there is no clinic to fit into the long distances many in Aberdeen would otherwise travel.
