Your mind doesn’t have an off switch – and that’s exhausting.
- Feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by everyday responsibilities
- Feeling frustrated by thoughts that won’t switch off
- Never quite feeling like you’re enough
My name is Kerry Rae
I offer in-person counselling in central Edinburgh as well as online counselling.
If you’ve spent years feeling like you’re never quite enough, you’re in the right place.
A busy mind can make everyday life feel harder than it should. It can make it difficult to switch off, leaving you tired from overthinking, anxiety or avoidance. Maybe you can relate to:
- Not trusting yourself
- Feeling like you’re letting people down
- A self-critical inner voice
- Struggling to stay on top of things
- Difficulty taking time away or resting
- Irritability or feeling easily overwhelmed
I work with people whose minds never really switch off – the overthinkers, the constant worriers, the ones who are endlessly hard on themselves. I understand the deep emotional impact that can have, particularly the fear of getting things wrong and how it shapes the way we talk to ourselves and our belief in how others see us.
- They want to better understand their own mind.
- They’re overwhelmed or exhausted by work, family or daily responsibilities.
- They want to be less hard on themselves when things don’t go to plan.
How do Counselling sessions work?
I know from personal experience and through my training that the relationship between counsellor and client is at the heart of the work that we do.
I offer a space to finally put it all down, say it out loud, and start to make sense of it – what’s been getting in the way, and what it’s been costing you to carry it alone.
Together, we can work on things like:
- Managing stress and anxiety
- Being less hard on yourself
- Setting boundaries
- Feeling more confident in yourself
Why choose to work with me?
I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support, especially if you’ve always been the one holding space for everyone else.
I don’t start by trying to challenge or silence that inner voice. I get curious about it first, what it’s actually trying to tell you. Usually, it’s trying to protect you from something, or just get your attention, in a way that doesn’t feel helpful anymore. Once we understand it, we can start to meet it differently and only then, gently, begin to challenge it.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. That voice doesn’t have to feel like a bully you’re living with forever.
