Barry Laing Counselling & Psychotherapy

The depth of empathy I experienced in counselling sessions with Barry has moved me strongly and has enabled me to bring deeper acceptance and compassion to aspects of my life that I’ve found difficult.I looked at my relationship to the masculine over 2 blocks of 10 sessions; aspects of attachment and relating . It’s been very helpful to have Barry there, reflecting back to me a new way of masculine presence; with kindness and understanding he helped me to see more clearly what I put out and helped me to create more safety in myself to bring into the relational field with men.His training in acting shines through occasionally, bringing in a sense of freedom to play, to be creative and expressive.I highly recommend Barry as a counsellor.

Barry was recommended by a friend and I am so glad he did. His reflective inquiry approach and deep listening allows for insights that would otherwise remain unnoticed. Many aha moments and opportunities to shift patterns and thinking is what makes Barry's sessions so valuable. I can highly recommend

I've been seeing Barry now for about a year and highly recommend him. He brings empathethy, encouragment, and deep humanism to his sessions. I've been consistently impressed by his ability to make insightful connections and to integrate these into all of our sessions.

I am incredibly fortunate to have had Barry recommended to me for counselling. Although I was ready to address some things I felt were holding me back I was also nervous. Barry holds a wonderful, comfortable space during my sessions with me and there is never a moment where I don't feel safe to be open and honest. He has a wonderful approach to situations I am going through and encourages me to really listen to my body and not just my mind. I have had incredible breakthroughs in a short period of time. I would honestly say this is the most successful type of therapy I have tried and I highly recommend Barry to anyone who is ready to address anything they feel might be holding them back from their highest potential.

Barry showed great warmth, compassion and an ability to notice and reflect subtle patterns and gestures within the dynamic of our relationship. It was very helpful in gainer a deeper understanding of the relationship and each other.
