Discovery Counselling

Discovery Counselling is a counselling service offering a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Our goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where clients can work through their problems and find new ways to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

About Us

Walter Baxter, the founder of Discovery Counselling, has a vast experience of over 13 years in counselling adults, young people, and children. With a background in business, Walter decided to retrain in counselling after a successful 27-year career. He holds a Master's degree in Counselling from the University of Abertay Dundee and is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

Our Services

At Discovery Counselling, we understand that life can be challenging at times, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Our counsellor, Walter Baxter, uses a pluralistic approach, which means that he respects each individual's unique experience and expertise. This approach allows for a collaborative and flexible therapy, where clients are actively involved in the counselling process.

We offer a range of services, including:

• One-to-one counselling sessions
• Online counselling sessions
• Group therapy sessions
• Couples and family therapy

Getting Started

At Discovery Counselling, we believe that client-centred care is paramount. We take the time to understand our clients' unique needs and develop a personalized plan for their therapy. Our services are tailored to meet the individual needs of each client, and we work closely with them to understand their goals and aspirations.

Preparing for Counselling

Preparation is key to a successful counselling experience. Before your first session, we recommend that you:

• Write down your reasons for seeking counselling
• Identify specific goals and objectives
• Consider any other factors that may be relevant to your therapy

Fees and Payment

At Discovery Counselling, we understand that accessing therapy should not be a barrier. We offer competitive fees and flexible payment options to ensure that our services are accessible to everyone.

Informed Consent and Confidentiality

At Discovery Counselling, we take the confidentiality and safety of our clients very seriously. We ensure that all our clients are fully informed of their rights and responsibilities before we begin our work together.

Making the Most of Your Therapy

Research shows that therapy can be very helpful for many people, and that most clients leave counselling or psychotherapy feeling much better than when they started. However, research also shows that the more clients know about the counselling process, the more they can get out of it. We encourage all our clients to be proactive in their therapy and to take an active role in their learning and growth.

Our Commitment

At Discovery Counselling, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care to our clients. We are dedicated to supporting individuals and helping them achieve their goals and aspirations. Our commitment to you is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
