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

Hello, my name is Lee and whatever has brought you here - welcome. I am a Psychotherapist (Registered member, BABCP), I initially trained and specialised in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). However, I use an integrative approach (in other words I use a ‘whatever works best’ type method). I wanted to create a style and brand of therapy that is all about keeping things simple. People often experience very complex problems so let’s not overcomplicate something that’s already difficult.

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.

Change is constant, change is inevitable. Life moves us in different directions affecting every aspect of our lives. Our relationships, both personal and professional, change. Our relationship with ourselves changes over time. We can have a tricky time expressing the impact this has on us. We can feel stuck, overwhelmed and weighed down by the load we carry. The juggling act of modern life, having too many balls in the air, can be exhausting. Counselling offers you a time to rest that load, maybe even leave some of it with me. A time to reflect, putting aspects of your life into perspective.

At different times in our lives we go through challenges that can affect how we feel and have a negative impact on us. We all have unique ways of dealing with situations. At these times, many people find it helpful to explore how they are feeling with somebody else. It is important at these times to have a safe space to do this.

I’m a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I carry out Face to Face confidential therapy sessions from Stepps, North Lanarkshire. Whether this is the first time you are seeking therapy or have had therapy before, it can be overwhelming. Therapy can be challenging, as the process entails self-reflection and honest conversation. It’s important to me to provide a space where you feel comfortable, open and safe. I understand the importance of individuality so I use a variety of approaches to suit your personal and unique needs.

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.

Accredited, integrative psychotherapist and counsellor based in Glasgow City Centre. As a psychology graduate; an acute understanding of thoughts, feelings and behaviour is the foundation of therapeutic work I undertake with clients. By adopting an integrative approach, I am able to adapt to each individual and their goals for therapy in a way that is truly client centred. I have over ten years experience working with a wide variety of people and diverse range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction and bereavement; however will always tailor my approach to your unique personal circumstances

Sometimes we experience changes or traumas that leave us struggling with the pressures of life, relationships, work, or studies. This can affect our self-esteem, our sense of identity, and our ability to cope. This can become overwhelming and may lead us to unhelpful or harmful thoughts and behaviours. With help, we can overcome our difficulties and learn to manage our emotions more effectively. With compassion, empathy, respect, and a safe space, we feel heard, considered, and valued. By understanding our thoughts and behaviours we can feel empowered to make positive changes that can lead us to fuller and more enjoyable lives.

It's tough opening up to someone but we, via the therapeutical alliance, can create a safe space of trust where there is confidentiality, no judgment and that the client feels comfortable sharing. Here are some testimonials from previous clients for you to ponder: Social anxiety- My gran nearly fainted when she saw me ask someone who works in a shop a question, something I've never done in my life before. Grief- My therapist has helped me as I was feeling lonely and it cheered me and made me realise that I do have a future by myself with friends and family to support me. Low self esteem- I've realised I'm stronger than I thought.

Deciding to engage in therapy is a positive and brave decision to embark on a journey of self-discovery. As a therapist, my role is to create a secure base and be a guide for you, so that you can take up this challenge of self-discovery and move towards greater consciousness, choice and positivity. While working with difficulties in the present many have their origins in emotional experiences and unconscious emotional learning in early life relationships. This includes family, main caregivers and other influential figures. Also events and consistent experiences, which may amount to degrees of difficulty, pain or trauma.
