Welcome
My name is Allister Murdoch. I provide a private counselling and psychotherapy service for individual clients, 18 years old and over.
I opened this private practice in 2007. I see clients in both Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres in locations easily accessible by public transport.
I offer appointments between 9am and 9pm Monday to Friday, dependent on location. On a Saturday and Sunday I offer appointments in Edinburgh only from 11am until 5pm..
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).www.bacp.co.uk
I work with clients of all genders, sexualities, relationship styles, cultures, religions and none.
I use techniques from many methods of Humanistic Psychotherapy including Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Solution Focused Therapy.
My practice has over the years developed into one that attracts a huge percentage of men as clients. Many feel awkward talking about their feelings or asking for help when it comes to mental health issues for a variety of reasons and I specialise in supporting them to feel okay to do so. I've been there myself.
I have extensive experience and training for working with clients of sexuality, gender and relationship style diversities from an affirmative perspective.
I specialise in providing counselling and psychotherapy in a few areas. For more information click on an image below.

"Allister created a space where I could be myself and openly talk about anything. He gave me the tools and experience to help unlock the answers to my problems." GD Edinburgh
"I saw Allister on a weekly basis for 6 months. He is very relatable, easy to get on with, and took great care to remember the details of my story. He listened carefully and spoke thoughtfully in each session, and his insights were extremely valuable in helping me on my way. I looked forward to the regular sessions each week, which became a steady cornerstone of my time in Edinburgh. I would highly recommend Allister to anyone considering professional help." EL Edinburgh
“As I am a woman reflecting on my bisexuality and midlife, I found working with Allister at the Forth Street rooms in Edinburgh valuable, energising and insightful. Allister is an excellent listener who is generous, challenging and thoughtful with his enquiries. He has a relaxed, compassionate and delightful presence. I would recommend Allister to anyone who is exploring their sexuality.”
