Online Counselling for Glasgow

I'm Aisha, and I'm a clinical psychologist and director of Illuminated Thinking. With over 15 years of experience in adult mental health, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that I bring to my work with clients. Sometimes we need support to survive and work through psychological pain. Therapy can also build resilience for whatever may lie ahead. My welcoming and friendly practice is your safe space to explore and grow. My priority is to provide a safe space for you to explore what is going on in the here-and-now, learn and move on from the past, and re-focus on growing into the person you want to be.

Life is a challenging adventure on the ‘road less travelled’. I can provide helpful guidance in an atmosphere of confidence, openness, trust, care, vigilance & respect. It is Ok to accept help, you will grow stronger, feel freer and more joyful. It is my vocation & honour to offer you all the space & time you need to share, vent, grieve, forgive and invigorate your Life! It will help you feel ‘seen’, ‘heard’, ‘valued’ & to ‘trust’ that there is always support available to overcome challenges! I am committed to help you ground deep in your heart & soul, the love & acceptance you need to move forward and be happy with yourself Now!

There are many approaches to wellness and treatments for various psychological issues. Different therapeutic approaches work differently for different people. Everyone is unique and at psyche therapy centre we believe in finding what works best for you along with following science and research to help you towards psychological well-being. There is “no one size fits all” and therefore we would like to offer you the chance to explore finding out what works best for you to treat whatever issue you may be going through. Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety, personality disorders?

I have a particular interest in working with people with relationship problems, including their relationship with their self and, with their own emotions and emotional regulation. This can manifest as social anxiety, with an underlying sense of not being good enough or being odd/not fitting in with other people and society’s expectations. If you struggle with your own identity - not knowing your own likes/dislikes/values (sometimes called codependency), then get in touch. We can explore together what gets in the way of you knowing (and accepting) the real you.

The way things are now, is not the way they will always be. If I could help with one thing it would be instilling hope. As a Counselling Psychologist I have a training which has focused on both the evidence base of psychology and the supportive nature of the counselling relationship. If we were working together my initial aims would be to establish a trusting, confidential relationship, and to find out from you what you want from therapy. From there we would make a plan to address your difficulties, and work together on this in sessions, but you might also expect some between session work.

Online Therapy available amid COVID-19 Concerns. My passion for psychology is deeply rooted in my interest of human happiness. I sincerely believe in the practical benefits of a life spent helping others, fully investing in the cultivation of empathy and compassion. With this end in mind I have always sought out challenging and rewarding opportunities to work with people and to study human relationships and problems. I have an extensive understanding of the range of issues relevant to mental health with a range of client populations and a capacity to critically evaluate the role of different psycho-therapeutic models.

I am very skilled and experienced in working with mental health issues such as Depression and Anxiety, as well as addictive behaviour and related issues such as trauma. I have been a mental health professional for 45yrs, both as a Mental Health Nurse and as a BACP Registered Therapist. I have also survived my own life issues, including addictions and have been sober for 25yrs. I feel that having professional qualifications as well as lived experience helps me to make a stronger connection with my clients

I am a CBT therapist, with a background of thirty years in professional drama. I am also an Associate Member of ISST (International Schema Society). My drama experience, linked to CBT and schema-aware therapy techniques, can help you rescript your life to make it happier, more satisfying, or, sometimes, just easier!

Hello, I am Dr Katie Smith. Now, more than ever, it is important to look after our mental health and I enjoy helping clients to do just that. I specialise in providing psychological therapy to adults experiencing challenges to their mental health or adjusting to physical health conditions. I work online and from my office in South Glasgow/East Renfrewshire. I have extensive experience from over 20 years working in the NHS and my background as a Clinical Psychologist means that I am trained to the highest professional standards and I strive to provide a high quality and effective service for my clients.

I have trained and practise as a person centred counsellor because I believe everyone has the potential to reach inside and find their own strength and resources, with a little help . There are times in all of our lives when we feel we need some extra help to cope with life events and struggles. I would like to help you through whatever it is that brings you here. Whether it is work, life events, or you're not sure what is wrong but feel something is not right, it can help to share your feelings with that impartial, non-judgemental someone, allowing you to clarify your own thoughts and helping you to see a way through.

Hello and thank you for connecting with me. Are you fed up feeling fed up? I completely understand and am here to help. I support women who have issues with confidence and self-esteem. This may be because of challenging personal relationships, family issues, difficult childhoods, domestic or childhood abuse or just the many challenges life brings. Sometimes, people may be unsure why they feel the way they do, but have a strong sense that things could be brighter. Peeling back the layers of our lives takes great courage, but change is possible, indeed inevitable, when we take that leap of faith.

I want to offer you some encouragement as you scroll through this site looking for a counsellor - it is not easy to do when you're feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or apathetic. You're here though. You're already doing something to help yourself, or someone you care about. It's hard to know what to include in these introductions to 'sell myself', because ultimately I don't want to feel like that's what I'm doing. I want to be genuine and honest with you, and let you get to know me instead of throwing a bunch of qualifications and training at you (which I have by the way, don't worry!).

Hello! I'm a CBT therapist who has a special interest in treating anxiety and working with 'perfectionism'. Perhaps you are anxious about something specific, eg health, social situations, work-performance or, perhaps you constantly worry about 'everything & anything’ with worries jumping from one worry to another. It's easy for our thoughts to run away from us, leaving us feeling powerless & filled with fear. Find it difficult sitting with the unknown/adapting to change? I am passionate about supporting you in understanding & managing the anxiety you experience, to help reclaim inner-calm & happiness.

Are you tired of pretending everything’s fine, or fed up of not feeling heard? Maybe you’ve been blindsided by life events, become overwhelmed or need to make changes but don’t know where to start? I support people coping with change and loss, such as relationship difficulties, shifts in sexual identity, adjusting to new careers, retirement, parenthood, illness or bereavement. Life changes like these can bring up doubts and fears that shake your sense of self. You may also find that traumatic or distressing events from the past bob back up and refuse to be ignored. I can help you face things that seem too daunting to tackle alone.

If you are feeling confused about your feelings, finding them difficult to manage and coping in ways that might potentially be harmful in the longer term, I can help you. If you are feeling stuck, perhaps struggling with poor sleep and physical health difficulties and have stopped living life in the way you would like, I can help you. If you are experiencing low mood, anger, anxiety or low self-esteem, let me help you to find ways of coping with these difficulties in a way that will improve your overall wellbeing and help you live a more fulfilling life. I am down to earth, genuine, caring and compassionate.

Feeling anxious, depressed, stuck? Need somewhere to talk without being judged -  somewhere safe to explore difficult or painful thoughts and experiences? I can help you get a better understanding of what's going on and explore ways to move forward. I work with issues around depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, sexuality, gender and spirituality.

Finding a therapist who you feel really "gets you" is not always easy and can take time. From personal experience I know how invaluable therapy can be when you share your vulnerabilities and receive compassion without judgement in return. Whatever is bringing you to counselling at this time in your life, I would offer you an open and honest space to share your feelings without fear of rejection. I would be privileged to help in your search for the answers that you are looking for to move forward from where you are now, and in doing so help you feel more at peace within yourself.

Hello! I am Martin and I am a qualified CBT approach counsellor. I offer 50 minute sessions either online (Saturday between 9am and 11am) or face to face at Southside Counselling and Therapy Centre in Shawlands (Mondays 9am to 12pm and Wednesday 6pm to 9pm). Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is useful for people experiencing long or short- term issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, stress or an intertwining of all or some of these experiences. Are these the reasons you came here? If so, then perhaps I am the counsellor whom can work beside you in overcoming unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
