Are you living with the symptoms of ‘trauma’, distressing memories and triggers? Is this making life, work and relationships difficult? Perhaps you experience anxiety, depression, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, panic, phobias? Or you keep getting into dysfunctional relationships, or have sexual and emotional issues. To resolve these ‘trauma related’ problems i integrate Internal Family Systems therapy with EMDR therapy. Combining these two ‘trauma informed’ approaches, is a highly effective way to treat psychological and physical health problems including somatic and emotional pain and suffering.

Hi I'm Laura & I am an experienced CBT therapist specialising in the treatment of anxiety and OCD. I am based in Glasgow city centre but offer online therapy to clients throughout the UK. Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task particularly if you are looking for a particular approach or skill set and it's so important to find someone you can trust and connect with. I help clients to identify, challenge and overcome their negative thought processes and unhelpful coping strategies that no longer serve them. I am also knowledgeable and experienced in using exposure response prevention techniques in the treatments of OCD.

Thank you for visiting my profile. You may be looking for help with a specific issue, looking for more purpose or clarity in life, more understanding about yourself or maybe you might be confused. Sometimes choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming and despite the qualifications and experience it can be more about finding the right fit between yourself and your therapist.

I have trained and practise as a person centred counsellor because I believe everyone has the potential to reach inside and find their own strength and resources, with a little help . There are times in all of our lives when we feel we need some extra help to cope with life events and struggles. I would like to help you through whatever it is that brings you here. Whether it is work, life events, or you're not sure what is wrong but feel something is not right, it can help to share your feelings with that impartial, non-judgemental someone, allowing you to clarify your own thoughts and helping you to see a way through.

The idea of my approach is an integrative one: I've studied, and I'm qualified to deliver, a mixed modality of therapies to address client issues. From psychodynamic active listening and using a safe space to get things out in the open, or perhaps using CBT techniques to address something specific, either way - I'm equipped to help guide you through what it is that is troubling you, or holding you back, from moving forward.

Hi there, I’m Debbie, an experienced, Qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and I have successfully supported many Clients with a wide range of issues. CBT is a form of talking therapy that is both collaborative and practical. It focuses on situations in our life, our thoughts about them, our behaviour in relation to coping with these, the resulting emotional feelings and physical symptoms and how all of these interrelate. Every person and experience is unique and so I do not have a cookie-cutter approach to my practice, the work we do together in our sessions will be adapted to address your needs and implemented at your pace.

I have a particular interest in working with people with relationship problems, including their relationship with their self and, with their own emotions and emotional regulation. This can manifest as social anxiety, with an underlying sense of not being good enough or being odd/not fitting in with other people and society’s expectations. If you struggle with your own identity - not knowing your own likes/dislikes/values (sometimes called codependency), then get in touch. We can explore together what gets in the way of you knowing (and accepting) the real you.

People face several situations and problems throughout their lives that they cannot always solve without professional help. The first step is to recognise that we cannot face alone these issues that affects and alters our daily lives. If you are feeling anxious, sad, tired or depressed, you are suffering a loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, you cannot control everyday situations or emotions, if you have trouble sleeping or sleep a lot or even if you are experiencing lack of appetite or overeat, get in touch.

Change is constant, change is inevitable. Life moves us in different directions affecting every aspect of our lives. Our relationships, both personal and professional, change. Our relationship with ourselves changes over time. We can have a tricky time expressing the impact this has on us. We can feel stuck, overwhelmed and weighed down by the load we carry. The juggling act of modern life, having too many balls in the air, can be exhausting. Counselling offers you a time to rest that load, maybe even leave some of it with me. A time to reflect, putting aspects of your life into perspective.

There are so many pressures we put on ourselves and the way we go about life..... if you need a neutral,supporting person to talk these feelings through with, or even some support in seeing things in a different way... I'm here! Friendly, enthusiastic and very supportive. No ones circumstances are the same and no one answer is right. We could find a new way of coping together to help you find the way to adjust to life today and going forward.
