Dr Karen Ann Gray
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
Verified
I work with people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems which are creating issues in their lives. These include different types of anxiety, low or fluctuating mood, worry and rumination, stress, problems in relationships with others and issues resulting from historic or more recent trauma. Focus is given to understanding the nature and origins of problems and how change can occur. Currently, as a result of being unable to provide face to face therapy due to covid-19, I am working remotely via secure video and/or telephone conferencing.

Does past events go over and over your mind? Do you feel the past is still raw and you are constantly re-living it? Stressful childhood or adult traumas can present as anxiety, depression, low self worth, phobias, PTSD, unresolved grief, shame, guilt, panic attacks, self harm etc. Resolving these traumas resolves current symptoms. I use EMDR integrated within an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework for deeper healing experiences. Both these therapies are powerful and work by accessing the natural healing ability of clients facilitated by the therapist. All work will be remotely carried out over Zoom.

In these difficult and anxiety-provoking times, it is more essential than ever to look after our mental health. Did you know that evidence shows that online therapy is equally as effective as face-to-face? My therapy practice is running as normal, with all consultations now online or via phone. I draw on a number of different therapeutic approaches to provide an intervention that suits you and supports you to meet your goals. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties. I will work with you to come up with a treatment plan, unique to you, that meets your needs and helps you move forward.
Maria Georgiou Shippi
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
Verified
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.

On many occasions we are able to deal with what life throws at us. But occasionally we come to a point when we need a bit more - a bit of help untangling what’s happening in order to move forward.
Anne Robertson
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
I have extensive experience of working with clients who have experienced sexual or emotional abuse, sometimes within an institutional context. This may involve working with PTSD, where flashbacks, nightmares or unwanted memories are present. I can offer a safe, supportive space to work through these difficult experiences and find coping strategies. I also work with anxiety and depression, relationship issues and achieving your true potential within a study/work context. I am also very interested in developing creativity especially within the arts. Please note that I am currently only working with UK-based clients.
Dr Rui Zhang
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
Verified
I am striving to provide safe, ethical, and evidence based practice for all my clients. I see each individual as a human being who has endured suffering, and accepting unconditionally the manifestation of these suffering you may present. I would work with you collaboratively to understand your difficulties and accompany you in the journey of discovery of your own strengths, building resilience, and developing an adaptive way of coping in life. I work in an integrative, and trauma informed way in which different approaches may combine to suit your needs at any given time. Therapeutic approaches I am experienced with are listed.

Common thoughts that lead people to come to counselling include the following: "I can't get rid of my anger." "Will this grief never end?" , "Why can't I form meaningful relationships?", "I can't bear living with this anxiety", "I can't see any point in anything.", "Why am I drinking so much?", "I feel so stressed at work all the time." and "I often feel that life is not worth living." When such thoughts and feelings seriously affect our ability to enjoy life then it may be time to think about getting help.
Lauren Boulazreg
Psychotherapist, MBACP

As human beings we are complex. We may have emotional responses which we believe are shameful or embarrassing which cause us to deny them. This is when we can feel depressed, anxious, or stressed in our daily lives. We may feel stuck in the one place and too overwhelmed to know what to do or who to ask for help. This, alongside our jobs, families, relationships, bereavements, and the pressure of living can feel overwhelming. Some of us may have struggled with our mental health for years, for others, these hardships may come out of nowhere. We may have experienced traumatic events in our past that are affecting our present.

Louise Montgomery
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
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.
Wendy Canning
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
Have you found yourself battling with some difficult or confusing feelings? Maybe a relationship is causing you concern but you don’t know how to make things different or better. Family and friends can be a great support, but a lot of the time the people in our lives think they know what we should do, offer solutions from their perspective, or judge us for the decisions we make. Together we will explore what is troubling you at a pace that’s right for you. I hope you will quickly find that you can trust me and feel safe and accepted.
Dr Craig Dunn
Psychologist, HCPC - Couns. Psych.

Hello and thank you for looking into my profile. It can be challenging finding the right therapist amidst a sea of warm faces and shiny profiles full of experience. However, I firmly believe that like any relationship, the therapeutic one needs to feel like a 'good fit' too. This outlook forms the ethos of my therapy practice as a counselling psychologist where I work in collaboration with a client to bring change through the healing properties of a relationship. It is my belief that a supportive, accepting relationship allows for deeper self exploration and long-lasting change.
David Barr
Counsellor, MA, BACP
Verified
Hello, I’m David. A very warm welcome to my page. Life can be really tough and challenging, particularly in these current uncertain times. Our tricky minds are often good at allowing us to become overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions and this can make us stuck in certain behaviours and struggling to make sense of things. You may find yourself feeling anxious, low in mood or feeling stuck but not sure how to change things. Whatever may be going on for you, it can really help to have someone to talk to impartially to give you the space to talk through your difficulties, gain valuable insights and work towards your goals.
Mary Martin
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP

I am a Person Centred Therapist based in Glasgow City Centre. I am currently seeing clients in person and online. Primarily 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'. I am skilled in offering genuine authentic relationship to others and prefer to use my human skills over technical skills. My aim is to offer a supportive space in which all of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be explored freely without judgement. Together we can help you gain insight and self-awareness into the root cause of your difficulties
Lenny Thakur Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP

It can sometimes be helpful to talk through a problem with a professional counsellor in a confidential and safe environment. You may want to use counselling because you wish to change something specific in your life or because you have a particular issue you want to resolve. Or you may just have a sense of wanting to explore different aspects of your life. Counselling can help with many areas in life. I welcome anyone, who feels their problems or difficulties are affecting their life, to get in touch.

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.

Psychotherapist, BABCP Provisional

Hi. My name is Annette and I am a qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a member of the BABCP. We all need a help during difficult times and sometimes we need that extra support when we feel overwhelmed. Seeking help when we are feeling vulnerable can be daunting and anxiety provoking. I provide a non judgemental, safe and confidential environment, tailored to your specific needs and at your pace. Together we can identify and challenge thinking patterns and styles and build on the resilience you already possess. Therapy can provide you with the strategies you need to help build a more positive future.

Rachel Forrest
Counsellor, MBACP

Hi my name is Rachel and I am an integrative therapist but more importantly a human being with flaws, past mistakes and fears. This I feel has gave me a better understanding of life’s up and downs and therefore able to build strong connections through therapy. Therapy can be a very scary thing for most, but I hope by giving clients a safe and understanding space they can begin to see and feel the benefits of therapy through time.
