Female Counselling in G66

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who specialises in helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression and stress. With a deep understanding of the complexities of these mental health conditions, I am committed to providing effective therapeutic interventions that empower individuals to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives. While my foundation is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I believe in the importance of tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs. Having worked extensively with both adults and young people, I recognise the unique needs and dynamics present in each stage of life.

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.

My name is Dr Jan Ferris and I am a clinical psychologist based in North Glasgow. I have clinics in both Stepps and Bearsden. I offer therapeutic assessment and treatment to adults (age 16+) facing a wide range of emotional difficulties. Psychological therapies can help you make sense of your experience; to understand why it is happening and what is keeping it going. During psychological therapy we work together to identify the changes that need to be made to reduce your experience of distress and improve wellbeing. I am happy to chat with you, via telephone or email, to see if I can help with any difficulties you are facing.

I work with most psychological difficulties and aim to provide a safe space to explore your individual experiences and challenges. I aim to develop a shared understanding of your experience to help us establish goals for therapy and beyond. These might include processing difficult experiences and gaining insights into patterns of thinking or behaving that are contributing to current difficulties. These insights can help us to identify and support the development of sustainable skills and strategies that will help you to reach your goals and manage difficult experiences and strong emotions.

I am an experienced counsellor working with individuals struggling with anxiety, GAD and depression. I also work with trauma and bereavement and have particular experience working with adults who have either been diagnosed or awaiting diagnosis for ADHD.

The nature of being a human means we are all prone to experiencing difficulties with managing stress, emotions and relationships. It can help to talk about your worries and gain an understanding about what is causing them, what helps you, what makes things worse and most importantly what changes you can make to improve things. I understand that it can be difficult to reach out for help. You have made the first step by looking for support and I hope you will get in touch to discuss your situation. You can be assured that things will be taken at a pace that you find acceptable and manageable.

Sometimes life throws us a curved ball and we can face difficult and challenging situations which at first may seem daunting even overwhelming.
