ABOUT COUNSELLING
Hello and welcome to my page. I'm a qualified psychotherapist and work in a person-centred way, which means your needs are at the centre of how I practise. I have many years experience working with children, young people and adults and offer a warm and professional service with the aim of helping you gain clarity, move forward or make changes. Coming to counselling can be a big step for some people and I appreciate the bravery it takes to make that step. Everyone is welcome to this counselling service and my aim is to help you feel comfortable and accepted; analysing your needs in order to make a difference in your life.
​
Before a counselling session begins you will be sent an assessment form. This will help you to articulate the issues you or your child are facing and confirm if this service is right for you.
​
Most clients work initially within a block of 6 sessions with a review at the end of the block. Clients can choose to complete therapy at any point during the 6 weeks or continue.
​
Each session lasts for no more than 1 hour and can be arranged at a time which is convenient for you.

ABOUT
My name is Dolina Munro MA, DipHE, CMCOSCA and I’m a practicing Psychotherapist in the Highlands of Scotland. I'm a Lead Counsellor for a children's counselling service in primary and secondary school settings, as well as a private counsellor with adults, children and young people. I've got a wealth of experience working with all levels of distress and recently qualified as a sleep therapy coach. I see my work as a passion and privilege and love to see how talking therapy can change lives. Please see my testimonials below for feedback.
Having experienced the benefits of counselling in my own life I understand the vulnerability of being a client but also the importance of being heard. Being able to share with a caring professional allowed me to feel accepted and understood, as well as giving me the strength and perspective to move forward.
Counselling can be a big step in the right direction and I’m grateful to be able to use my skills and experience to help others. My qualifications include an MA, Diploma in Person-centred counselling, Diploma in Online counselling, and a Certificate in counselling Children and Young People (Strathclyde University). I’m a member of COSCA (Confederation of Scottish Counselling Agencies) and my registration number is 3653.
I regularly attend CPD events and receive monthly supervision in order to work to the best of my ability. Recent CPD training includes: Sleep recovery, Anxiety in Children, Trauma Rewind, Guided Visualistaion, Self-harm and Gender Diversity Training. You can find me listed on The Grove's website too:
TESTIMONIALS
"Dolina helped me understand myself more and made me feel validated. I felt that I could share issues which had been bothering me for years. After working together, I began to feel more confident about myself and it became clearer what I wanted for my future. I’d highly recommend this service."
"Dolina is intuitive, empathic and non-judgemental. If you feel your are going through something in your life that is emotionally complex, she will help you 'de-tangle' and understand better.She made me feel validated and with a few insights. I would recommend counselling with her to anyone going through a hard time. It helped me exponentially.
"This service was hugely beneficial to me during lockdown. Dolina helped me to deal with anxiety and stress during a very difficult period of my life. I found her to be empathic and insightful and it was good to vent without feeling judged. She gave me tools for dealing with social anxiety which I use every day. Although I still have bad days, I’m grateful for this support."
"Thank you for your listening and your ability to help me see I wasn't crazy, or overreacting, that my feelings were valid and helping me work through what was a very difficult phase of my life. I feel mentally so much healthier, am not preoccupied with things the way I was and don't have the constant feeling of panic hanging over me.|"
​
"After counselling with Dolina my son (aged 8) is a joy to have around again. He understands when he is beginning to have a meltdown and communicates that he needs space. Then he uses tools he has learnt to calm himself down. He seems more able to cope with all situations. He is calmer at school and no longer pushes the other children when they invade his space. And he only has meltdowns when he is very tired or hungry. The change has actually been life changing for me as a single parent."
​
​
"I was initially very nervous about meeting with Dolina for a counselling session. However she very quickly put me at ease with her caring, calm and professional approach. She provided a safe space where I was able to share concerns without fear of ridicule or embarrassment. Helping me identify the issues and take steps to resolve them. Her sessions have improved my situation, building my confidence and ability to make myself heard. I would highly recommend her."
