Sexual Abuse Counselling in Glasgow

If you are reading this you will be searching for someone that is able to support you at a time you need it most. . My suggestion is to read the statements and contact the individual that can support you directly with the issue you would like to work with. I am a registered accredited member of BACP. I have over 25+ years of working in Third Sector, NHS, Education & Private Sector. I work as a Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor & Coach - I work from a Integrative perspective - working with Person Centred, CBT or Attachment modalities enables me to work uniquely with the modality that suits you.

Counselling is a safe place for you to stop, take stock and explore the parts of your life that you are finding difficult. It is a time for you to use for whatever you decide, and always without pressure or judgement. I have particular experience in working with trauma and sexual abuse , but you can use counselling for all sorts of issues, for example self-esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationships, suicidal thoughts, harassment at work, identity issues, breakup, or decision-making. Dealing with ‘unwanted habits’ of whatever kind can be a large part of counselling.

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.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems and life by changing the way you think and behave. I have worked with adults and children experiencing issues such as;- depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, parent-child relationships, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), low self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, confidence building, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, physical, emotional and sexual abuse , self-harming, bereavement and suicide. If you would like to move forward on your wellbeing journey please get in touch.

Do you feel like past events are affecting how you cope with life today leaving you feeling stuck and anxious or depressed? Are you having trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? Do you keep repeating the same negative patterns in relationships? I am an experienced, accredited psychotherapist who works with couples, individuals, and groups who can help you identify and change these unhelpful patterns.

Life is a series of changes, often bringing loss and pain but also the seeds of a positive transformation. Even if you're unsure how to move forward, a theme can emerge. Counselling can facilitate a new understanding of ourselves, our different relationships, our place in the world. By reassessing hopes and fears, we can work towards the difference we want to experience. Alongside general counselling, I have specialist experience in post-natal depression and traumatic emotional and sexual abuse . My approach, however, is to treat every person without presumptions, trusting the space that opens up and finding the best way for you.

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.

Are you a couple or individual who would like to improve their relationship and/or sexuality? Couple therapy and sex therapy can help you sort things and initiate the changes you want. They are often closely connected. Couple therapy deals with all kinds of problems: different levels of desire for sex and/or closeness, bad communication, fears, hostility, affairs... Sex therapy addresses issues like: erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulities to or lack of orgasm, pain or vaginal spasm during intercourse, desire problems, sex addiction, sexual abuse , problems with gender identity, sexual orientation or preferences.

I believe that the most important relationship we will have over our lifetime is the relationship that we have with ourselves. Throughout our lives we can come to conclusions about ourselves and others that cause us to feel insecure with who we are and around others. My job as a therapist and life coach is to provide a talking space for you to figure out what is holding you back from achieving the relationships and lifestyle you deserve. The more we understand who we really are, the easier it becomes to truly and deliberately create the life we desire.

I have extensive experience of working with clients who have experienced sexual or emotional abuse, sometimes within an institutional context.
