Infidelity Counselling in Glasgow

Hi I am a Gestalt therapist/Counsellor. I have over 10 years experience helping people with a variety of issues. If you want to change your life or change yourself or you are struggling with everyday issues counselling is the very place for you. With a safe place to explore yourself and your life with a non judgmental person (me) sitting along side you, this can be a very empowering and enriching experience. Life can get on top of us at times, taking some time out for yourself to process all the things that go swirling around our heads can be vital to a happy healthy life.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist based in Ayrshire. I work predominantly with a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach, but also draw on other therapeutic approaches to provide a more integrative and tailored therapy for you. There are times when we all experience situations that cause distress or uncertainty and it can be difficult to move past these events or to speak to those close to us.

As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist I also draw on a number of therapeutic approaches to provide an intervention that suits you and supports you to meet your goals. I work with adults and young people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems providing a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties. I have worked with clients on with a range of issues including Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, Bereavement and Loss, Relationship problems, Worry/Rumination, Social Anxiety, Anger Management, Life Transitions, Skin Picking and Trictillomania.

As a CBT Therapist, I have experience in supporting clients with generalised anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, low self esteem, depression and grief. My clients often come to me ready to make a change, have a goal they want to achieve or just want to explore why they behave in certain ways. CBT gives you the tools to do this, working together to achieve your goal, make the necessary changes and how to maintain them.

If you are reading this today it may be that you are feeling low in mood or anxious. You may want your life to move in a more productive direction or feel more balanced in your relationships. Counselling offers the possibility of getting to know who you really are and to understand what might be stopping you from finding fulfillment and ease in your life. The journey to yourself can feel challenging and sometimes scary, but it is through this process that you will begin to find your potential to grow in self awareness. Through self-understanding develops confidence, self-worth and a greater freedom to choose the right path for you.

Therapy requires bravery, vulnerability, and self-love. Sometimes it is the hardest thing you will ever do in your life, but it can be the most rewarding. As a Cognitive behavioural psychotherapist I help people understand how the stories they have created about themselves impact their lives today, and what they can do to create a new story. The overall aim of therapy is to support you to explore your difficulties in a safe space and achieve the goals that you identify. My practice is centred on trust, empathy and empowerment.

I offer one-to-one Art Therapy to adults, working closely with individuals to tailor therapeutic work to suit their needs. I specialise in working with: Adults experiencing anxiety and depression; Adults who have been affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences; Adults with Additional Support Needs; Adults affected by loss; Adults affected by isolation. Initial consultation fee: £30. (I am aware that things are very difficult for a lot of people financially at the moment, so I am happy to discuss a sliding scale of fees.)

Life feels hectic and busy most of the time. I'm sure at some point in the past we have all wished for a quiet moment to reboot our busy lives. So why is it so hard to make that happen? There are so many pressures we put on ourselves and the way we go about life..... if you need a neutral,supporting person to talk these feelings through with, or even some support in seeing things in a different way... I'm here! Friendly, enthusiastic and very supportive. No ones circumstances are the same and no one answer is right. We could find a new way of coping together to help you find the way to adjust to life today and going forward.

☃️ABOUT ME........ ☃️ Counselling offers a safe and supportive environment where you can explore whatever may be troubling you.  I am committed to providing a space where we can work together to reflect and try and make sense of what is going on for you at the moment, as well as help you find your way through this experience.  You may be going through a specific experience, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement or loss, relationship issues or low self-esteem and self-confidence, or perhaps you don’t know what you are feeling, only that something isn’t right and you would like a change and someone to talk to.

Hello, I'm Jen, an experienced Counsellor and Practice Supervisor based in Garmouth, Moray and working via zoom, skype and telephone. I describe myself as working in an Integrative way: my approach is responsive to you and what you bring. I have worked extensively with teenagers and young adults as well as adults in transition, for example, during times of change within work, relationships or because of stage of life. When you first contact me we will arrange a free short telephone consultation which will help us to decide if my practice is a good match for your therapeutic goals. Concessionary charges are available.

Do you find it difficult to talk to those closest to you about your issues and concerns? Perhaps you don’t want to burden them or feel worried that they might judge or not understand what you are going through? I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to understand more about yourself and your relationships with others. As an integrative counsellor, I work with a variety of therapeutic approaches and methods, and combine them to suit the needs of each individual client.

Seeking counselling can feel like a big step. Perhaps a confusing one. Let me tell you a little about myself so that you can decide if I am the right counsellor for you. I have a COSCA accredited Diploma in Person Centred counselling meaning that I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I have a creative, eclectic approach and can bring other models into the counselling room where appropriate such as CBT, small world, gestalt and even music. At the moment I offer on-line and telephone counselling, however, post pandemic would also offer outdoor walking therapy.

It is a courageous step to reach out to a therapist and, in recognition of this, I have wholeheartedly devoted 30 years of my life to helping people create real and lasting change. I have completed a vast amount of psychological training and am guided by extensive experience in really hearing the parts of my clients’ experience which are keeping them ‘stuck’ or are barriers to happiness. I help people to understand crucial scientific findings about how the brain affects our happiness and I use the most effective techniques to help clients become liberated from unhelpful repetitive behaviours or thought patterns.

I am a qualified counsellor and Accredited member of the BACP. I use a pluralistic approach to my therapy. This involves working collaboratively with my clients, their individuality thus incorporating shared decision making.  I can work with a wide range of concerns and assist you with issues you may be facing such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, stress, anger, sexual abuse and many others. An example of this approach is discussing with you what you would like to achieve from therapy then working together to achieve the most effective way to get there.

Many of my clients seek out my services after past attempts at therapy have proven unsuccessful and end up finding relief within only a few short weeks. I often hear these horror stories from clients about having been to multiple therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really help" them to work through anything. As a therapist, I want to ultimately give you the tools you need to be able to work through stressful situations when they arise, rather than merely listening. Many have described my approach as "no bullshit", "direct" and empowering. I know how tempting it might be to simply give up, but let's get you back on track.

Do you want to understand why you always act the way you do? Does it seem to you that your behavior follows repetitive patterns and you'd like to be able to change it, but you tend to always fall back into the same ruts? How about starting from the beginning and trying to understand what's going on?

Do you feel lonely, misunderstood or not heard? Do you have difficulties in your relationship ? Are you struggling with change? I can offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts about your relational or personal issues.

Hi my name is michelle and I am aware Choosing to start therapy can often feel daunting and terrifying.  I understand this journey, both from a personal and from a theoretical perspective. So, I just want to say thank you for putting yourself out there, even know you may have feelings of apprehension.
