Gin Lalli - Solution Focused Therapy — Psychotherapist in Edinburgh, Scotland

In 2023 I had a mental breakdown. My stress and anxiety had been building for years and mentally & physically I just couldn’t go on. I had read Gin Lalli’s book after she was a guest speaker at a work conference. Whilst in the darkest place, and feeling desperate for help I decided to contact her and book in for 10 sessions. I had tried other things, I was on medication and I had family and friends around me but I was completely broken, questioning if I should be here. I had broken out in sores, couldn’t eat, had constant body tremors, I couldn’t sleep and wasn’t able to continue working. Within 3 weeks, with one session a week my life began to turn round. I listened to Gin, I did what she asked and the solution focused meathod worked. By week 7, my shaking had stopped, the sores had healed I was able to eat. My mindset improved rapidly, life no longer felt pointless, I felt that it was worth living. By week 10 I was able to start discussions about returning to work. My husband and children were delighted to have their wife/mum back. 18 months on I still live #solutionfocused. Gin is incredibly knowledgeably at what she does, she has a great amount of care and understanding. The relaxation is one of my favourite parts of the sessions, her voice is very soothing. I sleep so well now every night. My life has turned around. I would 100% recommend that you book in with Gin, do it before you breakdown and life becomes too much. The knowledge you will gain is life changing.

I can't recommend Gin enough. Her Solution Focused Therapy is so positive and powerful. It's like going to the Gym for your mind. It's incredible. Gin is wonderful. Approachable, pragamatic and so supportive. This is one of the best things I have ever done and I can't recommend her enough.

My solution focussed therapy with Gin Lalli has been a life changer. She has helped me find and become the very best version of myself, which has meant that I am now excelling in all areas of my life. From the very first session, I experienced and unforgettable "light bulb moment" that literally lit up the way forward and I have never looked back. She is engaging and warm and put me at ease from the very first moment we met. I can't recommend her enough. If I could give more than 5 stars - I would.

Gin has helped me take back control of my life. It sound so simple , to think in a solution focussed way, but if you commit yourself to the programme wholeheartedly and are ready to get specific about what is you want to change for the better...Gin is your person. I recommend Gin to my family and friends and if they need more information I point them in the direction of her podcast! If you're on the fence but wonder whether this is the right choice I recommend doing the free initial consultation and taking it from there.

What’s been good? Where do I start..that’s easy, a book, a podcast and an introduction with Gin, a warm, understanding and truly wonderful solution focused therapist who’s genuine desire to help you shines through, grabs you and helps you rediscover and embrace who you really are. Lost in all consuming anxiety (and at times depression) I didn’t need a psychologist to tell me what life events caused my anxiety. It took me until my late 40’s to say I don’t want to keep coping, actually coping is barely the right word, I had learned to cope for as long as I can remember however, this year it had become overwhelming (not sleeping, feeling empty, avoiding social events, abdominal discomfort, headaches and moments of full body shakes), nor did I wish analysis’ of my life events by going over the traumatic and painful memories - I had done it all thousands of times before in my head. I needed the knowledge to understand anxiety and learn how to calm mine down and blimey that’s exactly what Gin has helped me do, I cannot thank her enough for where she picked me up from and where she has got me to in the last 10 weeks. Gin made it interesting, informative and enjoyable. The best people inspire you, embolden you to be what you wish to be, Gin is one of the best and true to her, it’s always positive. So this review is just my experience? Well no, in tandem with my working 1-2-1 with Gin, my 20 year old daughter has also been on a discovery journey with Gin. Like many her age that dang Covid polar bear had left its mark and two years of trying hard to run away from it, she decide it was time to make it vanish. I have seen such a positive change and looking forward to watching my girl continue to blossom. If you are reading this review and considering what will help you or a loved one (remember procrastination is just another symptom of a full stress bucket) take that first leap of faith, believe in yourself and let Gin help you embrace life’s good things, deal with the things you’ve been avoiding and handling what ever comes your way. Gin you are an absolute 🌟 ❤️

Gin was very friendly and welcoming. She helped me to understand my anxiety, why it was happening and to learn to accept and control it using a number of simple techniques. I would recommend Gin Lalli to anyone with anxiety as what she's taught me has had a very positive impact on how I live my life.

Wonderful experience. I personally have never been to any kind of therapy and as a first timer, I can honestly say that it’s hard to put into words how helpful Gin has been. Our conversations really put life into perspective and she has helped me become my best self again. She is full of practical advice, positive energy and provides lots of useful coping tools in day-to-day life. Huge thank you Gin, your solution focussed approach is simply the best.

Words can't express how much value Gin gave to the participants of my event, the Wellbeing and Fitness Networking Event!!! In just short 15 minutes she blew our minds with useful tips on how to manage our lives better and I personally finally know how to empty my stress bucket! I realised that we all have the power to do small changes in daily routines that improves the whole life! Gin huge thank you for your incredible work, you truly make our world a better place one person (or group of people :]) a time!

Gin presented to our organisation-wide away day on the topic of dealing with stress. To say we got positive feedback from my colleagues would be an understatement. Much to my surprise, everyone I spoke with said how it was the best away day we have had in years. Gin is relatable, witty and insightful. We are now exploring how we can continue to engage Gin in supporting a healthy workforce throughout the year. I highly recommend Gin.

What can I say, Gin is just a wonderful person. I received hypnotherapy from Gin to help with weight management and found that her therapy has improved every area of my life! The practical way in which Gin explains the therapy worked well for me. Gin is so professional, practised, patient and passionate which in my opinion makes her best in class. I would recommend Gin's professional services to everyone.
