Gidget Wong

My name is Gidget.  I am a qualified integrative counsellor in Edinburgh, Scotland.  I have been practicing since obtaining my COSCA Diploma in Counselling qualification in Edinburgh and I am registered with COSCA and am bound by its code of ethics and good practice . I am trained as an Integrative counsellor based on the Person-centred and Psychodynamic approach and have undergone additional training in Cognitive and Behavioural Technique, Trauma Based Therapy, Children and Adolescent Therapy, and Compassionate Based Therapy as well as mindfulness-based practice. I have many years of work experience in private organisations and early year education and undertake continuous professional development throughout the year.

I counsel both young people and adults and my therapy is very much holistic. It is based on an integrative approach which is according to the needs of my client. This involves working with  the emotional aspect of a person and also focusing on their other development areas. I have supported many of my clients who come to me with many concerns including anxiety, bereavement/loss, depression, low mood, panic attacks, PTSD, relationship situations, self identity and self belief, also work/life balance.

My ways of finding relaxation are many and varied. Reading, singing and listening to music, nature walks with my beautiful dog Crystal, connecting with my family and friends, and cooking are just some of them. Also, I enjoy reading up on topics relating to other aspects of life.  I speak fluent English, and I can converse in Mandarin and Cantonese too.

I am part of dovelight wellbeing because I believe in their ethos, that every person is an individual and is to be treated with respect and kindness.  I like the tranquility and space offered by dovelight as well as the holistic and creative therapies available within.
