Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Borders & Northumberland Counselling Support. My name is Elspeth Gilliland, a Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor based in North Northumberland. I offer face-to-face and online counselling sessions for adults and young people aged 13 years and over.
I also provide clinical supervision online.
Counselling can help you with many situations. There are times in our lives when emotions, thoughts and feelings become overwhelming. This can happen for a myriad of reasons. Perhaps you’re finding day-to-day life more challenging than usual, feeling anxious and worried. You may be struggling with long-term issues due to past experiences. A recent unexpected or distressing event could have left you feeling unable to cope as well as you’d like. Maybe you want to explore things that you’d prefer not to share with friends and family. Or you could be experiencing uncertainty or confusion, with a sense that “things aren’t quite right”.
If any of this resonates with you, counselling may be something to consider. As a therapist I aim to provide a safe, supportive and confidential space where you will have time to explore your thoughts and feeling and to reflect on what is happening within yourself without fear of judgement.
I understand that deciding to see a counsellor is a big, and sometimes scary, step to take. So please take a good look round my site where I hope you will find enough information to help you decide whether therapy is the right choice for you at this time. You can also contact me if you’d like more information or to have an initial consultation.
