A compassionate, confidential
Welcome
Camila Arango
Psychotherapist / PsyD Candidate / BACP
I’m Camila Arango (she/her). I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Edinburgh, and I believe therapy works best when you feel met, heard and seen. My approach blends psychodynamic and person-centred therapy: we pay attention to what’s alive between us in the present, while also making sense of the deeper stories and patterns that have shaped you.
Put simply, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on for you and to make sense of the darker bits. I’m endlessly curious about people, what they’ve been through, and how I can support you in getting to a steadier, more spacious place.
I work one-to-one with adults and young people aged 16+. I’m currently working towards a Doctorate in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh. I offer therapy in English and Spanish. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a COSCA-accredited Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
How it works
Book a consultation call
A free 15–20 minute phone or video call to help you get a feel for whether we might be a good fit. You can share a little about what’s bringing you here, ask questions, and see how it feels to talk together.
“To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed; and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.”
– Carl Gustav Jung
Your first session
If you’d like to go ahead, we’ll book the first full session (50 minutes). During this session, I will ask a few questions about your background and explore your goals in more depth. We’ll also cover practicalities and agree how we’ll work together. I offer open-ended therapy on a weekly (or biweekly if needed) basis. Sessions usually take place at the same time and place to build consistency. In-person work will be held in my office in Leith or online over Google Meet.
“Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both; it’s engaging. It’s being all in.”
– Brene Brown
Reviewing and Ending
Along the way, we’ll regularly pause to check in on how things are going, what’s been helpful, and what you might want to focus on next. When it feels right to end, we’ll work towards an ending together. We are neither in a rush to end nor will we work together endlessly.
“A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.”
– Charles Dickens
