About Yvonni -

Online Counsellor in Edinburgh & Across the UK

Yvonni Gkergkes

Finding the right counsellor is an important step. I’d like to share a little about myself, so you can see if I might be the right fit for you.

My Journey - Why I Chose Counselling

I’ve lived, worked, and studied in four cities across the UK and Greece, and have called Edinburgh home for the past nine years. After years of working in supporting roles and going through my own major life changes, I found deep value in therapy. That experience led me to realise that the most fulfilling path for me was to support others as a counsellor - a career I began in 2018 and never looked back!

My Training - Counselling & Humanities

I hold an HND and HNC in Pluralistic and Integrative Counselling, as well as an Honours and Master’s degree in Humanities & Social Sciences. Alongside formal training, my studies in history, sociology, and anthropology enrich my psychotherapeutic work, giving me a deeper understanding of how culture, identity, and social factors shape our daily lives and experiences.

Issues I Work With

I support clients with a wide range of concerns. Some of the most common issues I work with include:

Anxiety and low mood - learning ways to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

Low self-esteem and confidence – building a stronger sense of self-worth.

Relationship difficulties – exploring patterns and improving communication.

Life transitions – navigating change, loss, or times of uncertainty.

Whatever you are facing, counselling offers a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences and move toward positive change.
