About FRAMESHIFT COUNSELLING

I offer a select set of therapeutic approaches, along with elements of ​Cinema Therapy, online and in person. During times of transition, stress ​depression or anxiety, I calmly help individuals to navigate change and to ​make meaningful transformations in their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) moves away from ​controlling thoughts towards taking helpful action. Narrative Therapy ​sheds new light on past experience to illuminate alternative paths forward. ​Transactional Analysis (TA) aims to improve interpersonal relationship ​patterns. A Person-Centred perspective ensures that this work is done ​collaboratively.

Reference to films (Cinema Therapy) may be considered for opening up ​conversations on challenging issues. Through my background in the film ​industry, I've developed a strong interest in a wide variety of life stories. This ​experience means I also have in-depth understanding of issues faced by ​those involved in the arts and creative industries.

Free 30-minute initial consultation to explore moving forward together.

practitioner Profile

I’m Richard Warden, a Canadian born and raised in ​Niagara Falls. I’ve lived in Scotland since 2009.

With an MSc Counselling from Abertay University, ​I’m a qualified counsellor and a Registered Member ​of the British Association for Counselling and ​Psychotherapy (BACP).

Years as a film producer and as a programmer for ​mental health festivals have inspired an interest in ​​using films to ​communicate life experiences.

I’m open to viewing ​recommendations and to ​offering suggestions, ​while never insisting on this as ​part of the ​therapeutic process.
