I am an experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist and a BPS RAPPS registered clinical supervisor. I work in a flexible, client-centred and integrative way and tailor my therapeutic approach to suit individual needs, goals and preferences. I offer a collaborative, warm and welcoming approach where we will work together at a pace that suits you. I will support you to explore, to learn skills, to manage and to hopefully overcome your difficulties. For more info visit www.thepsychologysmith.com

I work with clients who normally function well in their daily lives but are currently experiencing feelings of stuckness, frustration, or a lack of direction or meaning. This can be the result of a number of life events, such as a loss (e.g. of relationship, employment) or an interpersonal conflict, accompanied by feelings of low mood, disappointment, a sense of meaninglessness and, occasionally, anxiety that is difficult to explain. The clients I work best with are curious and motivated to explore their thinking patterns, emotions, and behaviour. They are willing to be challenged and to try new, more satisfying ways of being.

Hello and welcome. If you are reading this, you are likely feeling in a stuck, difficult or distressing place in your life. We all bring a unique history and mind-set to the life difficulties we encounter. These will have given us strengths to help manage problems, but sometimes we need to discover new ways we might feel, think or act. I think of my specialism as 'stuckness' - whether in emotions, relationships or unhelpful behaviours - which is often expressed in terms such as: anxiety, depression, stress, fear, trauma, low self-esteem, sleep problems, bulimia and binge eating, adjustment to loss, illness & major life changes.

There are times when we experience situations that cause us distress and life can feel overwhelming, finding ourselves unable to move forward or to speak openly and freely to those we are closest to. Making the decision to seek help and support through therapy can be very difficult and finding the right therapist who you feel comfortable and safe with can be another huge hurdle. I offer my clients a safe and confidential space to talk about their issues and concerns at their pace.

I treat a variety of common mental health difficulties and life challenges (e.g. mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, complex trauma, difficulties with relationships, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionist traits). Some people aren’t quite sure what’s going on for them, but something just doesn’t feel right. I want to help you to get your life on track, break out of unhelpful relationships and patterns of behaviour, and help you find meaning and satisfaction in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgmental space, that exists solely for you, to explore what it is that’s causing difficulty for you.

The Global COVID-19 situation is an anxiety provoking time for all and the uncertainty has perhaps had a detrimental impact on your mental health. It has affected people in many different ways such as excessive worrying, fearing the worst, feeling isolated and unmotivated due to change/lack of routine, sleep disturbances and perhaps digestion problems. The recent restrictions and guidance around self-isolating means that you may be finding it difficult to access face to face therapy at this time, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait. Now is the perfect time to engage in therapy from the comfort of your own home.

I am a leading authority with extensive experience in sex addiction, sex therapy and psychosexual counselling for individuals and couples. If you feel apprehensive about addressing your sexual issues, please be assured I will put you at ease immediately. Working with sexual issues and problems including sex addiction is very specialised work and should only be undertaken by experienced psychosexual counsellors, who are qualified and accredited to COSRT the governing body of psychosexual counsellors. I work with clients with sexual issues on a daily basis and I will never judge your behaviour. My motivation is to help you.

As a Counselling Psychologist and Specialist Couples Therapist with seven years experience working with individuals, couples and groups, I work based on the principle that therapy is not a one size fits all approach. I am able to call upon a number of therapeutic models to tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of my clients, with the overall aim of achieving specific goals. My aim is to create a safe and non-judgemental environment where clients feel encouraged to take an active and collaborative role in their treatment.

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.

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.

With 20 years' experience, I am a leading authority in marriage, couple and relationship counselling. I have had the pleasure and privilege of helping countless couples resolve their differences and re-establish an emotional connection. I am passionate about my work and the changes I help to facilitate. When you’re having a relationship or marital problems, it’s natural to want to talk about it. Unfortunately, turning to those around you isn’t always possible or the best option. What you really need is an independent ear — someone who can view your relationship without bias and who won’t take sides.

Hi, my name is Rachel Forrest, I am an integrative counsellor based within the James Alexander clinic in Glasgow. Being an integrative counsellor my approach is one of respect, warmth and genuineness. I Provide my clients with a non judgemental, relaxed environment to be able to work through their issues and/or reach they goals that are just out of reach.

My experience is that counselling helps by offering you a different perspective on the thoughts that run through your mind. Often we all need a space in which to say out loud the thoughts we keep inside. I believe that in a safe, warm environment we can find the courage to speak our truths out loud. This helps us to gain confidence in ourselves and it helps us to connect to others. We are all faced with challenges, and these challenges can present themselves in the form of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties. Life is tricky! Sometimes more than tricky! Sometimes even more than that!

My name is Dr Jan Ferris and I am a clinical psychologist based in North Glasgow. 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 have a chat with you, via telephone or email, to see if I can help with any difficulties you are currently facing.

Life can throw us difficulties and painful, disruptive experiences where you may find yourself struggling, anxious, or in pain and looking for emotional support, to unravel and make sense of the emotions you’re experiencing, to find new ways of managing, or to understand past experiences in more depth. You may be looking for a helping hand within this.

I am a consultant clinical psychologist with over 21 years clinical experience within the NHS. I am now in private practice, offering psychological therapy for a wide range of adult mental health difficulties. I also offer therapy for couples and for families supporting someone with mental health difficulties. Mental health or emotional problems range from mild anxiety or stress to more complex and severe problems. They are part of what makes us human, but they can all have a significant impact on our lives, affecting relationships, work, physical health and general well being.

Hello and welcome to my profile. In the work I do it is important to build a sense of trust in order that you feel comfortable enough to discuss and explore difficult and perhaps embarrassing feelings that you may never have expressed to anyone else before. I will endeavour to listen deeply, sensitively and without judgement to what you bring. In doing so we will, working in partnership, seek to identify what may be at the root of the difficulties that you are experiencing. This may involve us exploring in depth your early experience and how your parents and caregivers may have related to you as a child.

**Please note that at the moment, I don't have any availability for new clients.**

Having supported children, young people and families for around 20 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues including: bereavement, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, family, divorce, addiction, obesity, confidence etc. I enjoy working in partnership with clients to set goals for therapy or to provide a safe space to talk things through, whichever they would prefer. Client feedback has included that I am an honest and genuine person. I really do care about my clients and enjoy providing for them a safe and welcome space to explore their issues. I work in a person centred way.
