Self Esteem Counselling in Glasgow
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.

Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same cycle of anxiety or depression, or you’ve experienced trauma that continues to affect your life in ways you wish you could change. You may be looking for someone who truly listens, a place where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Whether you’re facing emotional pain, past trauma, relationship issues, or struggling with a general sense of unease, I am here to help you on your journey toward healing and personal growth. I often work with individuals who feel stuck or conflicted, whether it’s in their emotions, relationships, or life decisions.

It is normal from time to time in our life for us to seek support, reassurance and acceptance when faced with change, challenges and uncertainty. Choosing therapy can feel scary and daunting however counselling can provide the space for you to explore and navigate the difficulties which are having a negative impact on your mental health and wellbeing. Finding the right counsellor for you is imperative and I offer a Free 15-minute consultation to chat and to see if working together feels like a good fit for you.

Common thoughts that lead people to come to counselling include the following: "I can't get rid of my anger." , "Will this grief never end?" , "Why can't I form meaningful relationships?", "I can't bear living with this anxiety", "I can't see any point in anything.", "Why am I drinking so much?", "I feel so stressed at work all the time." and "I often feel that life is not worth living." When such thoughts and feelings seriously affect our ability to enjoy life then it may be time to think about getting help.

Life can throw many things at us, sometimes we need help finding new ways of coping and sometimes we just need to offload knowing someone is hearing us. Whether you need help dealing with everyday stresses or you’re feeling the burden of carrying guilt or shame. I’m here to help ease that burden or help develop new ways of managing life. I work in a very integrative way; I believe strongly that we are all different and that what works for one person might not work for another.

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.

Whether short- or long-term support is required, we are social beings and respond best to the security of a trusting relationship - I seek to start building that together immediately, regardless of the person or what they are bringing. When we feel safe from judgement, it is easier to access the answers to the questions that we seek, moving through challenges with more resilience and allowing us to tap into our innate intuition for guidance.

I want to offer you some encouragement as you scroll through this site looking for a counsellor - it is not easy to do when you're experiencing all sorts of complicated thoughts and emotions. You're here though. You're already doing something to help yourself, and my hope is that you'll find the support you need either with myself or another counsellor. I am qualified and experienced in holding and responding to complex experiences and emotions. However, equally important to the training and experience of a counsellor is how you feel in their presence.

Hi! I'm Oliver. Making the decision to reach out for therapy can be a difficult and even daunting task. As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can be unapologetically yourself and talk about whatever you want. I will help you decide how you want to use your time for therapy, and what you want to work towards together. I am committed to anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice and aim to always provide a safe and affirmative space for my clients. I will always work with you to understand both our similarities and differences, without making assumptions.

When it is time to talk to someone, finding the right professional is an important step. I specialise in helping people move through traumatic events, loss, and unhelpful patterns (recent and past), towards growth, recovery and freedom. My approach is supportive and respectful. In therapy, I focus on witnessing what you have been through, understanding where you want to get to, and working with you to get the results you are looking for. Please visit my website to see what previous clients have said about our work together.

Do you struggle with feeling anxious, stressed and overwhelmed? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body.

I work with people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems which are creating issues in their lives. These include different types of anxiety, low or fluctuating mood, worry and rumination, stress, problems in relationships with others and issues resulting from historic or more recent trauma. Focus is given to understanding the nature and origins of problems and how change can occur. Currently, as a result of being unable to provide face to face therapy due to covid-19, I am working remotely via secure video and/or telephone conferencing.

Facing the day with a niggling sense of confusion, unease or sadness will affect everything around you, it limits your ability to engage and really be in the moment. These feelings may be linked to a past event in your life, a situation you are currently in or you may be unclear as to why you feel this way. What is important is that at the centre is you. Often, we know we need to prioritise ourselves better, but maybe we do not know how to, we are unsure what we need and are hesitant to ask for this. Are you eager to find out why you respond the way you do? Why you think the way you do at times?

Where do my patterns come from and do they seem to be driving your life? It may be very confusing. Your emotions may be very energetic or perhaps you feel stuck and that nothing will ever change. You may think that you're feeling nothing. Experience of numbness or 'nothing' ARE feelings and are signs of a functioning emotional system, it may be useful to have support in making sense of these feelings.

We all need to feel that we are being seen, that our voice is being heard, in safe and empathetic company. If you are in distress, confused or isolated, I will see and hear you as a whole person, not just as an issue or concern. I will support you by holding a space for you to breathe and reflect on worries, anxieties or uncertainties that may be holding you back and explore ways forward to fulfil your potential. Healing can be found in creativity, used as another form of expression when words run out.
