Vitality Counselling in Glasgow
I aim to work with you without judgement and without pathologising your experiences, creating a safe, warm space where you can be yourself, share your experiences and ask any questions you might have. I am a queer therapist and highly experienced working with clients from the gender, sexuality and relationship diverse community, including non-monogamy and polyamory. I want to empower you to be in charge of your own therapy and to focus on whatever goals are most important to you. Together we can work to better understand your struggles and find a way for you to move forward.

Thank you for viewing my profile, I am aware that seeking therapy and finding the right practitioner can be challenging aspects of any journey. In my practice I aim to make the process of therapy accessible, by collaborating with you at each step and tailoring the therapy to your current challenges and unique context. Holding a pluralistic philosophy and practice stance, I emphasise both your goals and the evidence-base, as we make sense of your current difficulties. I always aim to foster an environment of acceptance, respect, transparency and emphasise your agency, viewing both of us at the “active ingredients” of therapy.

Are you feeling weighed down by low mood, anxiety, or trouble sleeping? Whether these feelings stem from a challenging life event, a major transition like changes in health or employment, or seem to have appeared out of nowhere, it can feel overwhelming. You may even feel stuck, unsure of how to move forward, and disconnected from the things and people that once brought joy and meaning to your life. When life feels this way, it’s easy to withdraw, which can unintentionally deepen those feelings of isolation and helplessness. But it doesn't have to stay this way!

Thank you for visiting my profile. You may be looking for help with a specific issue, looking for more purpose or clarity in life, more understanding about yourself or maybe you might be confused. Sometimes choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming and despite the qualifications and experience it can be more about finding the right fit between yourself and your therapist.

The nature of being a human means we are all prone to experiencing difficulties with managing stress, emotions and relationships. It can help to talk about your worries and gain an understanding about what is causing them, what helps you, what makes things worse and most importantly what changes you can make to improve things. I understand that it can be difficult to reach out for help. You have made the first step by looking for support and I hope you will get in touch to discuss your situation. You can be assured that things will be taken at a pace that you find acceptable and manageable.
