My name is Mags Turner and I am a (BACP) British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy registered counsellor and supervisor working in Edinburgh. The following pages tell you about me and my work. Counselling can provide you with the time and space to look inwards so that you can explore why you are experiencing difficulty in your life. In these busy times of constantly looking and thinking ahead and due to the chronic nature of stress today, we often do not leave enough time to look within, or to replenish ourselves so that we can move forward. Taking time out to do this can help you to unravel, unblock, or solve issues that may be troubling or causing you pain. We do all of this within the context of our past, often unconsciously, thereby holding unnecessary baggage which can eventually weigh us down, hindering us in our relationships and in our daily lives.
