Lapwing Therapies

Shetland & online

Rooted in compassion. Grounded in nature.

Sometimes we know exactly what's bothering us. Other times we just don't feel okay, and that's hard to explain to anyone. Counselling gives you a space to work that out, without judgement, and without anyone telling you how to feel or what to do.

Counselling that's built around you.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Lapwing Therapies.

I'm Colleen, a registered MBACP counsellor and nature therapist based in Lerwick, Shetland. With nearly two decades of experience in caring roles, I offer person-centred, trauma-informed counselling for adults, alongside nature therapy for individuals and groups of all ages.

Whether you're working through something specific or you just don't feel quite right, I follow your lead. There's no agenda, no script. Just a warm, safe space where you can begin to explore what's going on for you, in your own time and at your own pace.

Nature Connection Groups: Contact me for a quote

Nature Connection Group pricing depends on a few things, including location, number of participants, and whether venue hire or transport is required. Get in touch and we can talk it through.

Accessibility is important to me. I strive to keep my counselling fees affordable so that more people can receive the support they need.

Payment

Payment is by bank transfer before your session. Cash is also accepted if you prefer.

Cancellation

Life happens, and I completely understand that plans sometimes change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Where possible, we'll find another time that works. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the full session fee may be charged.

Availability

I currently have availability on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. There's some flexibility around this, so if none of those days work for you, it's worth getting in touch to see what we can arrange.

Location

My practice is based in Lerwick, Shetland. There's parking nearby, step-free access, and a comfortable waiting area and bathroom available when you arrive. If you have any specific accessibility requirements, please don't hesitate to mention them when you get in touch and I'll do everything I can to help.

For those joining me online, all you'll need is a quiet space and a reliable internet connection. I'll take care of the rest.

Serving Shetland and Beyond

I work in-person with clients across Shetland. For those who prefer to work online, I'm able to support clients across Scotland and the UK.

Thanks again for taking this step. Whatever's brought you here, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. This could be the start of something that really makes a difference.

Get in Touch

Thank you for being here. Reaching out takes courage, and I'm really glad you did. Whether you have questions, want to find out more, or you're ready to book your free initial consultation, I'd love to hear from you.

The easiest way to reach me is by email. I'll always aim to get back to you as quickly as I can.
