Suzanne Laidlaw

I’m here to help you.  Not by telling you what you should do, but by listening deeply to what you have to say, by trying to understand your perspective, and by sharing what I see, hear and sense without judgement.  Together we’ll explore your life experience at a pace that suits you, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so that you can be a better version of yourself and find that person inside of you who can express emotions in a healthy way, who can cope with life’s ups and downs without worry or fear, and ultimately, live a happier, more fulfilling life.

I won’t pretend to be the expert in your life, or to have the answers, but I do bring a breadth of experience as a person-centred counsellor, as a certified trauma therapist and a complementary therapist.     

This means I can offer blended sessions that integrate counselling with other therapies such as reiki or massage, allowing you to soothe your nervous system,  helping you heal on a psychological and physical level. 

Whatever we do, we’ll work together to find the approach that best supports your needs.

I appreciate that it’s not always easy to afford counselling, and that sometimes finding others who have similar experiences can be healing.  Because of this, I also run weekly Therapy Groups for Neurodiverse Women, and for Peri/Menopausal Women, making therapy more accessible and affordable, while creating a support network so you feel less alone. 

I offer therapy sessions to adults from the age of 18 in person at the Counselling Collective Therapy Rooms in Lanark and online.

I have a broad range of experience in counselling clients with a variety of mental health issues, including stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and more.
