Counselling in Glasgow West, Glasgow

I support people to gain or regain a sense of wellbeing and to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and burn out. I deliver effective, evidence-based interventions with warmth and compassion. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (PGDip University of Dundee) as well as a sex and relationship therapist.

I’m a qualified CBT therapist, Yoga instructor, and studied somatic psychotherapy (movement based). At times life can feel very over whelming, we can lose perspective and fall into a pattern of unhealthy habits. These behaviours may be your coping strategies to help you feel better but aren’t so helpful to your physical and mental well being resulting in feeling anxious and depressed. Having an outside perspective on what’s going on in your life can help refocus your mind and realign your life style with your core values so you can begin living with balance, integrity and autonomy.

Having supported children, young people and families for around 20 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues including: bereavement, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, family, divorce, addiction, obesity, confidence etc. I enjoy working in partnership with clients to set goals for therapy or to provide a safe space to talk things through, whichever they would prefer. Client feedback has included that I am an honest and genuine person. I really do care about my clients and enjoy providing for them a safe and welcome space to explore their issues. I work in a person centred way.

You may have arrived here because someone has suggested counselling to help you with a difficulty you are experiencing. You may be looking on behalf of a loved one. A health professional may have recommended counselling or perhaps you are feeling lost in your life and wonder if talking therapy might be the answer. Whatever the reason, I will endeavour to help you make the best decision for you and if you choose to enter into counselling with me I will help you to overcome the distress you are currently experiencing.

Hello, I'm Lisa :) I am an experienced person-centred counsellor working with individuals (aged 16 years and over) and families. I know first hand how daunting it can be to chose a counsellor, particularly for people from minority groups who typically experience discrimination, so I hope my profile gives you a sense of how I work and if we'd be well suited. I aim to establish a nurturing therapeutic relationship with you characterised by transparency, authenticity, trust and just a dash of humour! My availability is: Monday 12.30 - 8pm, Tuesday 12.30 - 8pm, Thursday 12.30 - 8pm, Friday 12.30 -6.30pm.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment to anyone looking for therapy. I believe the foundation for all therapy is an empathetic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship within which to explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. I can provide person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and schema-informed approaches to therapy, and have worked with a range of difficulties including; anxiety, relationship problems, depression and experiences of trauma.

With 20 years' experience, I am a leading authority in marriage, couple and relationship counselling. I have had the pleasure and privilege of helping countless couples resolve their differences and re-establish an emotional connection. I am passionate about my work and the changes I help to facilitate. When you’re having a relationship or marital problems, it’s natural to want to talk about it. Unfortunately, turning to those around you isn’t always possible or the best option. What you really need is an independent ear — someone who can view your relationship without bias and who won’t take sides.

Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Is it all getting too much at times? Do you feel stuck but don’t know how to change? It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where therapy can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but having felt overwhelmed and anxious at times myself, I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.

Whether you've suffered Emotional Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse, workplace bullying or trying to recover from a loved one's addiction.  I can help you make sense of the crazy-making behaviour you've come to accept as normal and how to move on and reclaim your life.

Hi, my name is Debi and I'm a psychodynamic counsellor. I offer counselling for a wide number of issues. If you find yourself overwhelmed by difficult emotions, relationships or feeling stuck in life and want to understand yourself better, please do get in touch. I have a special interest in working with people affected by domestic abuse. Recovering from coercive control or intimate partner violence and rebuilding self esteem can be very challenging and I offer a gentle and accepting approach.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist based in the Glasgow area. I offer sessions using a collaborative approach in a confidential, compassionate environment to support you through a difficult time in your life. CBT is a talking therapy that uses a range of methods, including psycho-education, to increase your awareness of the issue and to develop the skills to change your thinking and behaviour, enabling real life changes. I believe that working together is the key to success and throughout our journey we will focus on your goals and aspirations in order to find solutions that will enable you to move forward.

I believe the difficulties we experience in life can be highly impactful on how we see ourselves, how we relate to ourselves/others and on our own wellbeing. We can become stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour, trapped in our own internal conflict or afraid of/detached from our own emotion. Recognising that each of us is unique, I view therapy as a highly individualised process that aims to help us understand how our own internal world may be impacting our external problems. Focus is placed on gaining a compassionate understanding of why our lives are as they are and on processing any blocked emotion that is preventing change.

From childhood we are given messages about the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ways to feel, think and behave – messages that can teach us that we must hide or supress aspects of our authentic selves in order to be acceptable to others. If you’re an LGBTQ+ person, your sexuality and gender might completely unrelated to what has brought you to counselling, but you still want to know that your therapist will affirm these parts of you. In my online therapy room, you are invited to be your whole uncensored self in the company of somebody who values you unconditionally and really listens. I am a queer therapist with trauma informed training.

Victoria is a CBT therapist with a background in working for a children’s mental health support charity, pregnancy & fertility counselling and also within the creative industries. She is qualified in CBT and applies a compassion focussed approach, working collaboratively with her clients to put their needs at the centre of her practice. She is currently holding sessions in person at The Wellbeing Rooms in Bearsden and also remotely on an online platform called 'Whereby'. She is currently supporting clients with low self esteem, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and anger struggles.

People come to therapy for a number of different reasons and it's important you feel you find the right therapist for you. Maybe you are fed up with constantly feeling tired, worried, under pressure or thinking no matter what you do, you still feel the same? Or maybe you recognise a behaviour or pattern that's holding you back in your career or personal life? Perhaps its affecting your relationships with the people you care most about? Maybe you feel disconnected from who you are? I get it. And I appreciate how overwhelming it can be to reach out for therapy and begin the process, so thank you for making that first step today.

We all face difficult times throughout our lives and sometimes we feel stuck. Seeking help is a good indication of wanting to improve. Working together we will look for ways to overcome the obstacles and find emotional balance again. In therapy, I use an integrative approach, which involves the use of a variety of methods in my practice. These include person-centered, solution-focused brief therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, among other approaches.

Feeling anxious, depressed, stuck? Need somewhere to talk without being judged -  somewhere safe to explore difficult or painful thoughts and experiences? I can help you get a better understanding of what's going on and explore ways to move forward. I work with issues around depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, sexuality, gender and spirituality.

I am an HCPC registered Chartered Counselling Psychologist, with extensive experience of working with adults, children, couples, groups and families. I practice pluralistically based on a pluralistic framework which draws on techniques and interventions from a variety of therapeutic approaches and characterised by metatherapeutic communication with clients. Informed by my clinical experience and evidence-based practice, I work collaboratively with clients to help identify their therapeutic goals and corresponding appropriate tasks, tailored to their sense of what would be most useful for them.
