Janie Keddie

I offer online therapy over Zoom including daytime and evening sessions.

Online sessions give you the flexibility to choose a location where you feel at ease without the time and expense of travelling. Many clients find it easier to open up about problems when in the safety of their own homes, but you may choose another location where you feel secure and have privacy. This can be helpful if you are travelling, or want to connect from different places that are meaningful to you. We might discuss objects that hold significance for you or find coping strategies that you can implement in your environment.

I am a pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, which means I’m rooted in the belief that every client is unique, and different things work for different people at different times.  

Your therapy journey will be co-created between us, tailored according to your needs, preferences and the pace that’s right for you. I welcome the insights, knowledge and preferences that you bring with you into therapy and am committed offering you an authentic relationship founded on collaboration, respect and care

I hold a Master’s degree (with distinction) in counselling Abertay university, and my background includes a biological sciences degree, massage qualifications, volunteering as a Samaritan and work as a mental health advocate. I have also tutored counselling up to Diploma level.  

Deciding to heal is an act of bravery: it takes courage to change patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. This is especially true if current-day events are echoing situations in the past. I have a particular interest in helping clients overcome anxiety and the legacies of abuse or trauma. 

You may be all too familiar with feelings of stress, anxiety and trauma. The good news is that healing is possible. You can reclaim, (or even find for the first time) a felt-sense of safety in both mind and body.  It possible to explore the light and shade of your experiences, whether past or present. 

I can draw on a range of approaches and encourage you to share your own ideas about what might help you. If the words don’t come easily, or talking isn’t enough, we can use creativity or somatic approaches to gain insights and process feelings. You are the expert on what we need to look at and when: this is your healing journey. 

Do get in touch if you'd like to begin exploring what your future could hold. 

I offer a free 20-minute exploratory consultation over Zoom so you can get a sense of how we might work together, and be confident that we are a good fit before booking a session.

You can ask me questions, and discuss your hopes and any fears you may have about therapy. It’s also an opportunity and go over some of the practicalities before starting such as confidentiality and the process for payment and booking without this taking up time in a session.
