About Duncan

Christian Counsellor · Psychotherapist · NHS Mental Health Chaplain

Hello. My name is Duncan. I am a Christian counsellor and lay minister with experience in NHS chaplaincy, education and community pastoral work. I offer confidential, faith-aware counselling for individuals and couples, integrating recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care. I hold a Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies and an Advanced Diploma in in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. My aim is to provide a safe space for people to explore emotional, relational and faith-related concerns with compassion and respect.

I am a Christian counsellor and experienced lay minister with over twenty years of pastoral service across chaplaincy, education and community settings. I have served as a Mental Health Chaplain within the NHS, and previously as a Chaplain and teacher in education, experiences that have shaped my compassionate, steady and thoughtful approach to care.

My work integrates Christian faith, psychological insight and recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care, drawing from:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred approach

thus offering a safe and reflective space where individuals can explore emotional struggles, questions of faith, and life’s wider challenges.

I hold:

  • a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Studies,
  • a PGCE in Religious Education,
  • and a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person is created with dignity, worth, and value.

 

Individual Therapy

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained?


A safe space to talk through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, identity, grief and life struggles within a confidential Christian framework.

Couples Counselling

Feeling distant, unheard, or caught in the same arguments?

Faith-aware support  to rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore emotional and relational connection. Support available for those in relationships and those that are married.

Carrying pressure, stress, responsibility, or things you do not feel able to say out loud?

Discreet, confidential support for men navigating isolation, identity, emotional strain, faith, work pressure and relationship difficulties.

Edinburgh is a city rich in history, beauty, learning and faith. From the medieval closes of the Old Town to the Georgian order of the New Town, from Arthur’s Seat to the communities of Leith, Morningside, Stockbridge, Portobello and beyond, the city has a distinctive depth and character. Yet even in a place of such beauty and culture, many people quietly struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, loneliness or spiritual uncertainty.

Christian counselling for people in Edinburgh offers a confidential space to explore these struggles with emotional honesty and spiritual sensitivity. Rather than separating faith from ordinary human pain, Christian counselling allows questions of belief, identity, vocation, guilt, forgiveness, hope and relationship with God to be included where helpful.

Online Christian counselling makes support accessible wherever you are in Edinburgh or the surrounding areas. Whether you are a student, professional, parent, church member, or someone feeling distant from faith, sessions provide a calm and reflective space to speak openly and begin working towards healing, clarity and restoration.

 

My approach integrates professional counselling training with Christian faith and pastoral experience. You can learn more about this on the About page.
