Life in Livingston
Why people in Livingston reach out
Livingston is a West Lothian new town built for people moving out of Glasgow and Edinburgh, and its new-town origins still shape it: many arrived from elsewhere, and the layout is spread out and car-shaped. Building a rooted life while commuting into the cities can leave people stretched and short of close networks.
In a fast-grown town where many people arrived for work or housing without family close by, online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you put down roots.
Livingston, West Lothian's main town and a planned new town, is served by St John's Hospital (NHS Lothian).
The relationship counselling itself
Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.
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 relationship 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.

Livingston questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Livingston: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Livingston?
Yes. I work with people right across Livingston, from the centre and the Mall outwards, and anywhere else in Scotland, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Can I come on my own, without my partner?
Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.
Can we join the session from different locations?
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
Will you take sides?
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
