As your therapist, I will work together with you to find an approach to therapy that will best suit your needs. I offer a safe, respectful and accepting space. My clients describe me as positive, helpful, accepting, down-to-earth and straightforward; they like the way I explain things in a way they can understand. They appreciate my non-judgemental empathy, compassion and honesty, together with the way in which I work with them to achieve clearly agreed goals. They feedback that I use appropriate challenges and that our work together is solution focused and instils hope. My clients love the way I connect with them in meaningful way
Jon Rorke
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
All I ask of my client is that they be willing to examine the negative aspects of their lives in order to move forward in a positive way; counselling is not for everyone and I will not make demands of my clients to return should they feel counselling is not for them, openness is paramount and I want my clients to feel comfortable to hold me accountable should there be issues outstanding that are stunting our progress.

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
Nick Kartsanis

My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and my approach is holistic and personalised. Being human is hard. I am interested in getting to know you and understanding your difficulties and the context in which you struggle. I will give you the time and space to explore your issues at a pace which is comfortable for you. I can help you understand yourself better, improve your relationship with yourself and others, and, ultimately, live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I integrate traditional CBT with Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by past or present circumstances. You may have developed ways of coping that are beginning to negatively impact your daily life. You may be exhausted by feelings of guilt, shame, confusion or anger. As a person-centred therapist, I seek to empower you by providing a therapy space built upon trust & empathy within a therapeutic relationship. Under the person-centred approach, you are the expert of yourself in the therapy space. No-one knows you better than you. However, sometimes we can lose sight of who we are and not know what to do next.

I believe that transformation does not just happen, it takes a plan and a support system that I can provide for you, in a safe place were you can feel listened to and understood. When you are struggling to cope with the effects of difficult life events, feelings or experiences, it can be overwhelming. Sharing your experiences and feelings with someone outside your own immediate situation provides you with a chance to unburden and I am here to support you during every step of the your journey. I want to empower you to take back control of your life, help build your resilient again and to live in a more positive and rewarding way.
Robert Backai - Forth Counselling
Counsellor, MSc, BACP

Hello and welcome. Thank you for considering me to help you feel better, stronger and more resilient. Living with worry and stress or low mood can feel overwhelming and seem difficult to overcome. Maybe you want to do more of the things you like or want to enjoy life a bit more, especially now when everything seems unknown, uncertain and always changing. Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a loved one and life just doesn’t feel the same. Talking to a trained counsellor about your feelings and difficulties can help you understand and process them in healthier ways and lead to feeling better about yourself, others and the world.
Dr Aniko Szilagyi
Psychotherapist, PhD, MCOSCA
Verified
When we're struggling, we have many urgent needs: to be held and understood, to feel warmth, empathy and compassion, to have guidance, support, safety, wisdom. Sometimes we need help with a specific issue, and at other times we might have a vague feeling that something is wrong but not quite know what, or how to make it better. We might find ourselves in the depths of despair, or feel sort of OK but keep wondering if there's more to life. If you recognise yourself in any of the above then there is a good chance that counselling, which is a combination of science and humanity, would help you. It could even be life-changing.

Where do my patterns come from and do they seem to be driving your life? It may be very confusing. Your emotions may be very energetic or perhaps you feel stuck and that nothing will ever change. You may think that you're feeling nothing. Experience of numbness or 'nothing' ARE feelings and are signs of a functioning emotional system, it may be useful to have support in making sense of these feelings.
