Life in Stirling
Why people in Stirling reach out
Stirling is a historic city between Glasgow and Edinburgh with a sizeable university and striking contrasts of wealth and hardship in its neighbourhoods. Student pressure, the cost of living and the squeeze of central-belt commuting all shape the pressures people here carry.
Beneath a calm, historic surface, struggle can be hard to voice; a confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances.
Stirling is home to the University of Stirling and its landmark castle, and sits within the NHS Forth Valley health board area between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The depression counselling itself
Depression counselling here is steady and structured: we focus on the low mood, lost motivation and disconnection affecting you now, and on rebuilding the energy, routine and self-worth that hold a day together.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main depression counselling page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Stirling questions
Online Depression Counselling in Stirling: common questions
Can I get online depression counselling if I live in Stirling?
Yes. I work with people right across Stirling, from the old town and the castle outwards, and anywhere else in Scotland, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
What if I don't have the motivation to attend?
Low motivation is part of depression, not a sign you are unsuited to therapy. Working online removes the journey, which is often the hardest part on a flat day.
Will I have to talk about my whole past?
Only as much as helps. We focus on what is weighing on you now and on small, doable steps, rather than analysing everything that has ever happened.
Can counselling help alongside antidepressants?
Yes. Many people do both; talking therapy and medication work on different things, and I am glad to work alongside your GP.
