Trauma Focused Counselling in Glasgow

I find the Person-Centred Approach fits my own philosophy as it has at its very core, an unshakable belief that all people are good. Person-Centred counselling believes that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions. The underpinning principles of the Person- Centred Approach are focused on the counsellor being honest, non-judgmental and fully accepting whilst being fully integrated in the relationship allowing the client to lead and set the pace. I aim to offer these conditions as best as I can during our relationship.

As human beings we are complex. We may have emotional responses which we believe are shameful or embarrassing, causing us to deny them. Depression, anxiety and stress can take hold in our daily lives. We may feel stuck in the one place and too overwhelmed to know what to do or where to ask for help. This, alongside our jobs, families, relationships, bereavements, and the pressure of life can feel overwhelming. Some of us may have struggled with our mental health for years, for others, these hardships may come out of nowhere. We may have experienced traumatic events in our past that are affecting our present.

Do you feel right now that you're struggling with your problems or just feeling stuck with your direction in life? Be rest assured that my approach comes from a place of compassion, understanding and support which helps to provide a good start to help implement change and enhance personal growth. I'm sure you will find our sessions friendly and authentic to find the best solution to help move you forward in life. Or perhaps you're just needing a safe space to offload right now and seeking a different perspective with no solutions just yet but with someone impartial just to gain a clearer view in life.

Life can be emotionally challenging. You may be experiencing low self-esteem, having difficulty managing emotions or feeling dissatisfied in your relationships. You may be struggling following one or multiple traumatic experiences or may be having difficulty coping with life or the loss of someone. Often, it can be hard to know exactly what is impacting on your mental health or put this into words. I believe that everyone can benefit from having a safe and confidential space to explore difficult thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviour that is impacting on your mental health.

Having lived in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Manchester, and Glasgow, I gained unique cultural experiences and understood the struggle to fit in. Now, finding peace within my authentic self, I can empathise deeply with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, anxiety and self-doubt. I will treat your experience and opinions with respect, compassion and honesty because I want you to feel safe to talk openly in therapy. I intend to work with you as a team to fully understand how you respond to what happened. When you feel fully understood, a weight is lifted, and you will be more able to reflect and move forward.

It’s easy for us to ‘self-medicate’, binge watching Netflix, eat cake, take ‘shopping therapy’ or go to expensive spas to deal with stress, traumatic experiences and other overwhelming emotions… These are soothing behaviours which are harmless but sometimes, we realise that we might be running away from a psychological problem. Who is going to help you?, Who can you trust?

Hello! My name is Emma-Louise and I am an integrative therapist trained primarily in Person-Centered and Holistic therapies. I believe that therapy should be a safe place where you can come as the human you are and speak to another human without being labelled, diagnosed or dictated to. We all experience our life so uniquely, that it's impossible to put anyone into a neatly fitted box, that's where I want to work with you to explore your authentic self.

I'm Aisha, 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. 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 allow 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.

I have worked with a variety of adult mental health problems for 19 years, for the past 11 years as Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I am experienced in offering both brief and longer-term psychological therapies, and I am trained in understanding complex problems from a number of psychological perspectives. I believe it is important to be both informed by evidence-based practice and also offer support that is tailored to an individual’s unique needs. This is especially important if you are experiencing a number of difficulties and need a personalised formulation of those difficulties to guide the selection of therapy approaches.

Do you feel stuck? Struggle with addiction, anxiety, shame or overwhelm? Have experiences of abuse, sexual violence or unhealthy patterns in relationships? Do your past experiences impact on your wellbeing today? Do you need support establishing boundaries and healthy coping mechanisms? Counselling can help with all of these issues; I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Therapy helps to process and integrate the unresolved and unconscious aspects of yourself, so you can return to a sense of wholeness and wellbeing. It increases the control you have over your emotions and a sense of freedom in your own life.
