Abandonment doesn’t always look like being left.
Sometimes it shows up as fear of getting close, overthinking messages, people-pleasing, or expecting others to walk away.

Old experiences can quietly shape how safe relationships feel today. The good news is that these patterns can be understood, worked through, and changed.

You don’t have to carry that sense of being “left behind” on your own.

I work with people to explore where these feelings began and help them build healthier, more secure ways of relating to others.

If this resonates with you, support is available.

I currently have spaces for Walking & Talking Therapy sessions. The escape of the four walls, engaging with nature and having the freedom to be open is something that benefits not just our mental health but also our physical wellbeing.

When I think of my dog Wilbur lying there, oblivious to all around him. I wonder what it might be like to have no worries.
Our human minds are so complex that we can find problems in all areas of our lives, often not making sense of it. This can sometimes lead to anxiety or depression which in turn can cripple us.
We overthink things rather than being content.
If this is you and you need to try and make sense of your situation, try talking with someone about it and help to free your overactive mind.
Counselling can help with this. Maybe it’s time to find a solution for your anxiety or depression.

Ah the first Snowdrops of the year and a reminder that seasons change. As Winter begins to make way for warmer times of Spring, I’m reminded that we, as people negotiate different seasons where once was good and thriving and maybe for
Others they are in a season of fear or doubt or even illness.
Changes in our life can be difficult to predict, however, whatever the circumstances you may be experiencing, there is always room to talk to someone.
I currently have spaces available for those who just need to talk about their own life experiences.
Why not book an introduction session to counselling to help you find a solution to your situation.

✨ Happy New Year 2026! ✨
The start of a new year is a reminder that every day holds the possibility for growth, healing, and hope. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or continuing your journey, 2026 can be a year of renewed self-discovery and resilience.

Take time to care for yourself, practice self-compassion, and know that support is always here when you need it. Small steps often lead to the biggest transformations.
Here’s to a year filled with courage, hope, and positive change. 💛

01/01/2026

A new year can bring mixed feelings — hope, uncertainty, relief, or quiet determination.
As 2026 begins, this is a gentle reminder that new beginnings don’t need to be dramatic.
Sometimes hope looks like taking one small step, having one honest conversation, or allowing yourself a fresh start without pressure.

At Andrew Laidlaw Counselling, 2026 is welcomed as a year of hope, reflection, and growth — at your pace, in your time.
Wherever this year finds you, support is available when you’re ready.

Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Sadness, Abuse or Loneliness don't take a break during Christmas...for those who are experiencing Bereavement, Trauma, Despair or Fear...here are just a few vital numbers! Don't go it alone, reach out and seek connection!

Therapists spend their days holding space for others — listening deeply, managing emotional weight, and offering steadiness in moments of vulnerability.

But who holds space for the therapist?
Engaging in therapy as a therapist isn’t a weakness or a luxury — it’s an ethical, reflective, and sustaining practice. It supports emotional wellbeing, guards against burnout, and creates a space to process the impact of the work we do.
When therapists invest in their own therapy, they strengthen their capacity to be present, grounded, and attuned for those they support.

Looking after ourselves is part of looking after our clients.

Counsellors & Trainee Counsellors – Let’s Connect

Working in counselling can sometimes feel lonely, especially when you’re training, newly qualified, or working on your own.

I’m planning an informal online get-together for counsellors and trainee counsellors — a friendly space to chat, share experiences, reflect, and connect with others who truly get the work.

No pressure. No presentations. Just conversation, support, and community.

If you’d like to be involved or want to know more, drop a comment or send a message to Andrew Laidlaw Counselling.
You don’t have to do this work alone.

As the year draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the work I’ve had the privilege to do.
Much like the steady flow of a river, counselling work is rarely about dramatic change in a single moment. It’s about showing up consistently, navigating obstacles together, and trusting that movement — even when gentle — leads somewhere meaningful.

This year has been filled with honest conversations, courage, vulnerability, and resilience. I’ve sat alongside people as they’ve faced loss, uncertainty, relationship struggles, anxiety, and questions about identity and purpose.
I’ve also witnessed growth, insight, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed.
Taking time in nature, like in this moment, reminds me why this work matters. Change doesn’t need to be rushed.
With the right support, space, and pace, people find their own way forward.
Thank you to everyone who has placed their trust in Andrew Laidlaw Counselling this year. If you’re considering counselling as the year turns, know that support is available — and you don’t have to navigate things alone.

Because You Matter...

Wishing You a Very Happy Christmas

As Christmas approaches, I want to send warm wishes to all my clients and followers.
While this time of year brings joy for many, it can also be difficult — especially if you’re dealing with stress, loss, or big emotions.

If you need someone to talk to over the festive period or into the New Year, I am here to offer calm, supportive, confidential help.

Wishing you comfort, peace, and a hopeful start to 2026. ✨
