Counselling in G2

Being human is hard, but you don't have to go it alone. I can help you understand yourself better and improve your relationship with yourself and others, to ultimately live a more fulfilling life. My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a holistic, personalised approach. A lot of my clients happen to be students or work in post-doc positions, but I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds on a variety of issues. I have an interest in working with anxiety and related issues, such as procrastination and perfectionism, and am passionate about how video games can support well-being.

Solution Focus Therapy is a unique approach where in atmosphere of safety and understanding we will speak briefly about issues you will bring to the therapy sessions however we will focus on solutions rather then on problems. As a Solution Focused Therapist I will offer support in expressing your thoughts and feelings where awareness can rise and leads you to making a better and healthier choices in your life.

We are a small team of psychologists who offer an assessment and diagnosis service for children and adults who are concerned that they may be experiencing Autistic Spectrum Disorder or ADHD. We work with speech and language therapists, occupational health specialists and psychiatrists to bring together the most appropriate multi-disciplinary team for each assessment we undertake. We also offer counselling services as well.

Is anxiety adversely affecting your life? Is it stopping you enjoying things, or doing the things you'd like to do? Or is depression or procrastination stopping you getting on with life, and the more you push the worse it gets? If you're need a bit of understanding and assistance to work out your problems and solutions you've come to the right place. Helping people like this, people like you, is what I do every working day. You can book face to face or online sessions directly on my website, click the link on the left.

I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues, including relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. I use a person-centred approach in therapy. This allows you to explore your thoughts and inner feelings in a safe, caring, and supportive environment, and at your own pace. My therapeutic style is gentle and non-judgemental. I endeavour to offer a space that enables you to feel accepted, nurtured, and supported. I’m interested in you as a whole person. I not only listen to your difficulties, but also to your interests and aspirations, facilitating a holistic view of what may be of help to you.

We are all unique individuals, so it makes sense that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I set up The Queer Couch as I wanted to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space for individuals of all flavours to work through their difficulties.

I know how difficult it is to reach out for support and how bumpy our personal journey can be at times. I am a fully qualified, experienced therapist and I work with a variety of issues including trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues and stress. I believe that the key in my therapeutic work is simply being there for you with an open heart and mind. Being fully present means meeting you and your life's journey with empathy and compassion, because I know from the experience how powerful it can be to feel really seen and understood.

At some point in our lives we all encounter difficulties. We each have unique experiences of these struggles and at times they can feel overwhelming. Experience and research lets us know that therapy can help. You may seek therapy if you feel stressed, anxious or struggle with low mood. You might find yourself affected by current or past experiences related to work, the home or relationships. Or it might be that you simply long for a confidential space to be heard and understood. Counselling and psychotherapy can help wherever you are in your life.

Having lived in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Manchester, and Glasgow, I gained unique experiences, being a guest from different cultures and struggling to fit in. Now, finding peace within my authentic self, I can empathise deeply with individuals experiencing life transitions, anxiety and self-doubt. I will treat your experience and opinions with respect, compassion and honesty because I want you to feel safe to talk openly in therapy. I intend to work with you as a team to fully understand how you respond to what happened. When you feel fully understood, a weight is lifted, and you will be more able to reflect and move forward.

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.

I am a charted counselling psychologist and believe that the key for successful therapy is the cooperation between clients (you) and myself. I aim to promote honest conversations regarding your needs, goals and aims, along with my ability to help you meet these. I am able to provide therapy both in English and Greek, and have developed a passion for e-therapy. E-Therapy is personal as the video function helps promote the therapeutic relationship while also being practical and time effective by taking away the hassle of travelling for your sessions. E-therapy can be complemented with face to face sessions every few months.

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.

I am a nonbinary trans feminine therapist with experience of working with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma and LGBT+ issues. I can help you to overcome your problems in a friendly, accepting and non-judgemental environment. I have been practising as a therapist for ten years and am accredited with BACP (I need to point out that my accreditation is under my given name of Paul Winn).

Sometimes we can feel stuck in life, and find ourselves caught in a cycle of unhelpful behaviour patterns or ways of relating to ourselves and others. We may feel conflicted,anxious sad or depressed but don't know why. We want to understand ourselves better and to be understood by others. We want to achieve inner peace but we don’t know how to, or feel we have the capacity to make changes or achieve lasting healing.

My ideal client is a queer person looking to enhance their self love and enjoyment of relationships. They are curious about owning their sexuality and being a more open and authentic person in general. They are open to mindfulness and creating rituals to become more intentional in their lives. I'm looking for clients that understand that the world isn't very supportive of them and they want to become more able to handle the challenges of the world while also moving forward with a clear understanding of their values.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety? Are you struggling with low mood or depression? Are you lonely or finding it difficult to connect with people? Are you experiencing overwhelming grief and sadness because of the death of a loved one? Are you afraid your relationship is in trouble? Do you worry about your children or parents? Are family dynamics difficult? Do you feel scared, guilty, or ashamed? Do you struggle with anger? Is your boss or working environment causing you stress? Are you struggling to make your voice heard, set boundaries, or to assert yourself? Have you experienced abuse or trauma? Are you finding it hard to cope?

I am a Chartered Psychologist and an accredited Cognitive Behavior Therapist. I have 10 years of clinical experience in the adult mental health services, including the primary care within the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom and the private sector. I provide online therapy and face to face psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) within the long-term and short-term capacity. In addition, therapy could be provided in the following languages: Turkish, Azerbaijani and Farsi.

I am a relational therapist and take a holistic approach to my clients. Broadly speaking this means I treat the person and not their problem or disorder. Rather than seeing mental health difficulties like depression or anxiety as something wrong with you that need to be fixed, I view them as valid and understandable responses to challenging life experiences. My work as a therapist is informed by both my academic training as well as my own personal struggles in striving for good mental health. I try to combine my theoretical knowledge of what can help with my own personal understanding of how challenging our lives and strugges can be
