Counselling Services
Hello and welcome. My name is Tina and I am based in Caithness in the Highlands. I began my counselling career ten years ago in Norfolk and moved to Caithness 3 years ago. I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I draw on a variety of counselling theories in my work with you. This means I am able to adapt the work to suit your needs.
I believe the person centred approach is at the heart of all good counselling and alongside that I draw on emotionally focused and somatic approaches, as well as attachment theory and transactional analysis. Truly being listened to and heard allows us to see our own situation more clearly. Better awareness of our emotions and how they manifest in the physical body helps us to release them and get unstuck. Viewing our distress from different cognitive perspectives can help us to understand ourselves better and find flexible solutions to our problems.
As my practice has developed and grown I find I work mostly with individuals experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, anger issues, low self esteem, loss of confidence and a general sense of being disconnected from themselves.
In 2018, after many requests from clients with relationship issues, I began training in couples counselling and I have been working with couples since late 2019.
I aim to offer a safe empathic place where you can, as an individual or couple, make sense of your concerns, free yourself from stuck emotions and begin to find a better way forward.
If you live locally and would like an in person appointment, my address is accessible from Dunbeath, Wick, Thurso and the surrounding areas.
(Please be aware, I have a cat and two dogs. If you have related allergies, I would respectfully suggest you book an online appointment instead).
Online appointments offer advantages that in person counselling doesn't. There is no travel time or expense, you can access counselling from the familiarity of your own home and can choose how to spend your time immediately after the appointment rather than having to drive home. ( Reflecting on the session with a quiet cuppa can be incredibly useful...)
If you would like to book an appointment or would like further information please do get in touch,
Kind Regards,
Tina Fair
