Hello and Welcome!

We are glad you are here. Taking this first step towards getting support and learning to know yourself better takes real courage.

A Quiet Room by the Shore is a counselling, psychotherapy, and psychology group practice in Edinburgh’s Leith neighbourhood. At its heart is our community of professional, skilled and specialised therapists with each of us bringing our own training, approach and experience to the work of supporting our clients through challenging times and the process of change.

Each member of our community is fully qualified, maintains registration with a relevant body or membership and/or accreditation with a relevant professional organisation, receives regular professional supervision, and is committed to ongoing professional training and development. We work across a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, EFT, Gestalt, Integrative/Pluralistic, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Somatic and other approaches, and we are experienced at working with a wide variety of issues.

A positive experience of therapy is built on a nurturing relationship that unfolds within a safe and containing environment. Therefore, a good fit with your therapist matters above all else. With this in mind, we invite you to read our practitioners’ profiles, in order to get to know them and their therapeutic modalities and interests. Feel free to reach out to our therapists directly to find out more or to make an appointment. If you feel unsure how to get started, please get in touch. We are happy to help.
