Transgender Counselling in Glasgow

Hello. I'm a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist currently able to offer online sessions to adults in the UK. For the past 15 years, I have specialised in working with people who have a physical health condition, to overcome intense low mood, anxiety, anger issues and other difficulties. I also work with NHS staff. In addition, I am experienced in helping with experiences of trauma as well as sex & relationship difficulties and working with people from marginalised communities. QTIPOC people are welcomed.

Life can be crap at times and you might be feeling stuck and finding it hard to find a way out. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or struggling with self-esteem, having lost belief in yourself. This can be due to things happening around you, big life changes, challenges and trauma experienced in the past, or current relationship difficulties. Together we can start to make sense of what is going on for you. The work I do looks to understand unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns developed in the past and how they are impacting you in the here and now. When we make sense of the past, we can make sustainable changes today.

At Yorkhill Childrens’ Hospital, Cross House Paediatic Unit and Glasgow Royal Infirmary, I helped children and adults manage illness, pain and invasive treatments. In Maternity & Neonatal Services, I supported couples during pregnancy, after traumatic birth and loss and supported families with babies in SCBU and ICU. I've worked in Adult Services, both in community mental health services and alongside the medical profession in hospitals. I worked for more than six years at the Canniesburn Plastic Surgery and Burns unit supporting individuals with poor body image, changes in functioning due to illness or injury and PTSD.

My way of working is integrative which involves incorporating various therapeutic approaches into therapy. I value the subjectivity and diversity of all experiences and believe that one approach to therapy does not meet all needs. In working this way, I am guided by the theory and values of person-centred therapy (PCT) and integrate other approaches, namely cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and schema therapy. For me, the therapeutic relationship is essential in achieving desired therapeutic outcomes therefore, I aim to develop this relationship first and foremost.

Hello, I am Dr Katie Smith. Now, more than ever, it is important to look after our mental health and I enjoy helping clients to do just that. I specialise in providing psychological therapy to adults experiencing challenges to their mental health or adjusting to physical health conditions. I work online and from my office in South Glasgow/East Renfrewshire. I have extensive experience from over 20 years working in the NHS and my background as a Clinical Psychologist means that I am trained to the highest professional standards and I strive to provide a high quality and effective service for my clients.

Face to Face, Online and Telephone Counselling to fit around your availability. Individual counselling sessions: Standard fee for the first session is £25 then £55 per hour thereafter (concessionary rates negotiable). I also offer a free initial telephone consultation which lasts around 15 minutes to find out more about you and to assess what is best for you and your availability.

Deciding to engage in therapy is a positive and brave decision to embark on a journey of self-discovery. As a qualified therapist with ten years experience, my role is to create a secure base and be a guide for you, so that you can take up this challenge of self-discovery and move towards greater consciousness, choice and positivity. While working with difficulties in the present many have their origins in emotional experiences and unconscious emotional learning in early life relationships. Also events and consistent experiences, which may amount to degrees of difficulty, pain or trauma.

Hello, I’m Emma, and I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over nine years of experience in adult mental health within the NHS. I have experience working across the lifespan, initially working as a mental health therapist within a specialist Dialectical Behavioural Therapy team with 16–25-year-olds with severe emotion regulation difficulties. I then went on to hold a Clinical Psychologist position within a general adult community mental health team, working with a wide age range and variety of presenting difficulties.

Hello! My name is Emma-Louise and I am an integrative therapist trained primarily in Person-Centered and Holistic therapies. I believe that therapy should be a safe place where you can come as the human you are and speak to another human without being labelled, diagnosed or dictated to. We all experience our life so uniquely, that it's impossible to put anyone into a neatly fitted box, that's where I want to work with you to explore your authentic self.

Counselling is a safe place for you to stop, take stock and explore the parts of your life that you are finding difficult. It is a time for you to use for whatever you decide, and always without pressure or judgement. I have particular experience in working with trauma and sexual abuse, but you can use counselling for all sorts of issues, for example self-esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationships, suicidal thoughts, harassment at work, identity issues, breakup, or decision-making. Dealing with ‘unwanted habits’ of whatever kind can be a large part of counselling.

I am a psychodynamic counsellor based in Glasgow. I offer both in-person and online therapy. I can support you with anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and LGBTQI+ issues. Working with me will allow you to understand the impact of the past on your current situation and find creative ways for moving forward.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Counsellor qualified to work with adults, young people and children. The heart of my approach is to form positive relationships with my clients, based on trust and understanding. I work with a welcoming and non-judgemental manner in comfortable rooms. I work collaboratively with clients and I adapt my approach depending on individual needs. I have worked as a school counsellor in both primary and secondary settings. I am experienced in working with anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, trauma, emotional outbursts, mood disturbances and neurodiversity.

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.

It's tough opening up to someone but we, via the therapeutical alliance, can create a safe space of trust where there is confidentiality, no judgment and that the client feels comfortable sharing. Here are some testimonials from previous clients for you to ponder: Social anxiety- My gran nearly fainted when she saw me ask someone who works in a shop a question, something I've never done in my life before. Trauma- Thanks so much for all that you've done, honestly you've been a saviour to me. Low self esteem- I've realised I'm stronger than I thought. Depression- You've helped me see that I can get the joy back in my life. Thanks.

Hello, and thanks for looking at my profile. I’m an accredited therapist with over 15 years experience, and wholly comfortable in dealing with a range of issues, from trauma to depression, from abuse to anxiety. I’ve been described by clients as friendly, easy to talk to and empathic. For me, the most important element in therapy is whether you feel you can trust me - and I know this is not always easy. You’ve likely been hurt and perhaps a little wary and weary of people. I’m not going to “fix” you, I can’t! Though the good news is, by working collaboratively, you absolutely can heal the wounds you carry, of that I have no doubt.

We are all unique individuals, so it makes sense that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I aim to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space for individuals of all flavours to work through their difficulties. Gender and sexuality may not be the reason you are seeking therapy, but I understand the significance these parts of you may play in your life. Therapy should never be a place where you feel the need to watch what you say or educate your own therapist about who you are. Therapy is time for you.

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile! Day to day life can be difficult at times and most of us can benefit from the support and help of psychotherapy during challenging periods.

I work by integrating a number of approaches to provide each of my clients with a therapeutic experience which is unique to them and their individual needs.
