Counselling in G46

Hi and thank you for visiting my profile. You have just taken the bravest first step to working towards help through counselling. Sometimes we face challenges in our daily lives which can be very stressful, frustrating and difficult to deal with. Turning to someone who you don't know can be a very daunting thought. However, counselling offers a beautiful and safe space with no judgement. I offer a confidential and most importantly a safe space for us to explore and discuss any difficulties being faced. I will support and listen with empathy and respect. Together we can work towards a better future.

I am a highly experienced alcohol, drugs and gambling counsellor working within my private practice in Thornliebank on the Southside of Glasgow. Due to increasing my working hours for 2023 I currently have short-notice availability. I see clients face to face, by video (Zoom) or phone. I work with many issues including addictions, anxiety, depression, anger and bereavement. Very often these are connected. I can offer you a safe and confidential space where you're able to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. From the moment we meet I will help to put you at your ease so we can quickly build up a deep, working trust.

I understand that this may seem very daunting and perhaps overwhelming as you seek help from a professional.  I am a qualified Person Centred Counsellor.  This is a client focused therapy that offers a space to talk and explore as we work together through your challenges and experiences.  I offer face to face counselling in a safe, empathic, confidential and peaceful space. If you prefer to be in the comfort of your home, we can work together remotely. The facility offers free parking and is easily accessed from the M77.

I am Dr Andrea Gallagher-Cowley, a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist and member of The Beacon Practice. I'm passionate about working with young people, families and adults presenting with psychological distress. I help clients understand their difficulties and make changes to improve their mental health, wellbeing and relationships. I believe that compassion and kindness are key for a person to heal emotionally and make progress to reach their goals. I provide a non-judgemental space for clients to feel listened to and understood.

I have over twenty years’ experience working with individuals who have experienced challenging times including addiction, abuse, anxiety, domestic violence, depression, relationship breakdown, loss, homelessness, trauma and many others. I am aware of the impact that such challenges can have on individuals and together we can explore this.

Hi I am Dr Jill Ogston and I am a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist at The Beacon Practice. I offer psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention in West and Central Scotland. I work with children, adults and families to help them understand and manage a wide range of emotional difficulties. In addition, I have particular expertise in working with people with Autism Spectrum Conditions and related conditions; in providing support to live in a neurotypical world, with emotional difficulties and in providing an opinion on whether a full assessment of Autism would be helpful.

There are many reasons why you may be seeking counselling. Emotional distress can be overwhelming and disabling as well as having an impact on your ability to live a full life. I aim to help clients explore their feelings in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. Each person is unique and I tailor my approach to suit the needs and preferences of each individual client. I draw upon a number of techniques within a person-centred and Integrative approach to help clients gain a better understanding of themselves and their lives and address the problems and issues that may be causing them distress.

I've seen first hand how supportive Art Psychotherapy can be. Dealing with all that life can throw at us can leave us feeling helpless, anxious, low and stuck. I work with individuals from all walks of life and different stages, experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, chronic illness, grief and loss to support them in feeling better emotionally. Art Psychotherapy helps engage the brain and body a little differently through creativity, art and image making, in addition to talking. Together, we can create a healing therapeutic environment where stories can be shared, emotions processed, and holistic wellbeing fostered.

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 trained to help people with a range of issues from conditions such as Anxiety, Depression , and Phobias to Self Esteem and Confidence Issues. I use a tailored approach that utilises my Hypnotherapy training , with Mindfulness Techniques , and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) depending on what the presenting issue is. This is further bolstered by my experiences of working in the NHS as a nurse. I can guarantee that any client that attends an appointment with myself will be guaranteed to be listened to , treated with respect and that their problem will be treated as unique. In person and online appointments available .

I am a psychologist with experience working with adults and children. I adjust therapy to individual client needs and what they feel they can cope with. As a counselling psychologist I offer a range of therapies including CBT, person centred therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. I always aim to understand unique client experience and match therapy to what seems most comfortable to the client.

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.

Life can be challenging, overwhelming and sometimes it feels like you're on your own. I often felt like that until I turned to a therapist for some support and guidance along the way. I soon realised that I wasn't on my own. The old saying of 'it's good to talk' is never a truer word spoken. I'm a good listener and I'm ready to hear you. The first step is what you're doing right now. We will work together through the challenges you face and set some goals. Clients often say they want to get back to their old self, however, my hope is that you become able to lead the life you want becoming a better version of your self.

Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Is it all getting too much at times? Do you feel stuck but don’t know how to change? It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where therapy can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but having felt overwhelmed and anxious at times myself, I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.

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.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor based in Shawlands, Glasgow. I currently have good short notice availability in the afternoons and evenings at my room on Kilmarnock Road, in the centre of Shawlands. I work with many issues, including addictions with drugs, alcohol, sex and gambling, to anxiety, depression, loss and anger. These issues are often connected and can leave you feeling baffled, afraid and in despair. From our first meeting we will build a strong, trusting and safe relationship where you will have the freedom to explore your thoughts and feelings and work towards being the best version of yourself.

Are you tired of pretending everything’s fine, or fed up of not feeling heard? Maybe you’ve been blindsided by life events, become overwhelmed or need to make changes but don’t know where to start? I support people coping with change and loss, such as relationship difficulties, shifts in sexual identity, adjusting to new careers, retirement, parenthood, illness or bereavement. Life changes like these can bring up doubts and fears that shake your sense of self. You may also find that traumatic or distressing events from the past bob back up and refuse to be ignored. I can help you face things that seem too daunting to tackle alone.
