About Rowan Consultancy
Rowan Consultancy’s Background
Rowan was founded in 1997 in Perth by Rachel Weiss and Christine Partridge.
We have been joined by a team of sessional counsellors and therapists operating throughout Scotland, delivering counselling and psychotherapy to private individuals, couples, young people and to employees through employee counselling contracts. We work from a humanistic perspective, including person-centered, Gestalt, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and art therapy.
Rowan also provides coaching and training in counselling skills. We aim to foster reflection and self-awareness, in order to promote growth in our clients both individual and corporate. We want to awaken the soul and provide space for refreshment and new growth.
All Rowan counsellors are accredited or trained to at least diploma level and have extensive experience of working with a wide range of people and issues.
Rowan has been assessed and gained entry onto the Register of Recognised Counselling Organisations by COSCA, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland. Rowan abides by COSCA’s code of ethics and that of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
