Hello and welcome to Caledonian Counselling. My name is Aaron and it’s great that you’ve decided to read stop by!

I'm originally from Northern Ireland and trained as a therapist here in Scotland, where I now live and work. Growing up in Northern Ireland during a time marked by political conflict and uncertainty gave me a deep appreciation for the importance of safety, trust, and emotional resilience. These early experiences played a part in shaping my path into therapeutic work and my commitment to supporting others through life’s challenges.

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over ten years and currently work at the University of Edinburgh within student wellbeing. Alongside this, I run a busy and ever-growing private practice where I work with a wide range of adult clients. People come to me with all sorts of needs, including anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, stress, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), and grief.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel safe to be yourself. I aim to help clients better understand their patterns, develop self-compassion, and make meaningful changes at their own pace. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply seeking space to reflect and grow, you’re very welcome here.

Aaron
