Counselling in Glasgow

It's tough opening up to someone but we, via the therapeutical alliance, can create a safe space of trust where there is confidentiality, no judgment and that the client feels comfortable sharing. Here are some testimonials from previous clients for you to ponder: Social anxiety- My gran nearly fainted when she saw me ask someone who works in a shop a question, something I've never done in my life before. Grief- My therapist has helped me as I was feeling lonely and it cheered me and made me realise that I do have a future by myself with friends and family to support me. Low self esteem- I've realised I'm stronger than I thought.

I work with people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems which are creating issues in their lives. These include different types of anxiety, low or fluctuating mood, worry and rumination, stress, problems in relationships with others and issues resulting from historic or more recent trauma. Focus is given to understanding the nature and origins of problems and how change can occur. Currently, as a result of being unable to provide face to face therapy due to covid-19, I am working remotely via secure video and/or telephone conferencing.

If you're looking for counselling, it's likely that you're experiencing confusion around what's happening in your life. My first role as a therapist is to create a safe space through deep empathic listening, helping you to gain more and more clarity about your own life situation. This clarity will then help you to define your goals and begin working towards achieving them.

All I ask of my client is that they be willing to examine their lives in order to move forward in a positive way; counselling is not for everyone and I will not make demands of my clients to return should they feel counselling is not for them, openness is paramount and I want my clients to feel comfortable to hold me accountable should there be issues outstanding that are stunting our progress.

An Integrative Therapist, trained in Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy. I am also undertaking an MA in Anthropology because my therapeutic approach centres on the idea that effective therapeutic collaboration considers the impact of evolutionary psychology, cultural, socioeconomical and linguistic influences. My aim is to facilitate a space for individual clients to talk and explore their problems and pain, but also heighten awareness and understanding about the blocks that are maintaining their difficulties. By making what is unconscious conscious we begin to create an effective way forward.

I am a Counsellor working both privately and within the third sector in Glasgow. I offer support via video calls or telephone. I have a background in Integrative Therapy. This means that I will flex my style of counselling, to meet your needs and expectations, rather than being rigid in one particular approach. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I hope you will feel welcomed into a safe space, where you will be supported throughout your journey no matter what that looks like.

Do you ask yourself: “Why do I struggle with things others find easy?” You might feel like you don’t quite fit in the 'regular' world. You may have tried therapy in the past but it didn't help and most therapists didn't 'get' you. Your unique wiring can make it difficult to navigate the world - it comes with real challenges and no one can deny that or make it suddenly disappear. But guess what? You have so much to offer this world and I am glad you’re here. Let’s find what your best life looks like and how to help you get there together.

It is normal from time to time in our life for us to seek support, reassurance and acceptance when faced with change, challenges and uncertainty. Choosing therapy can feel scary and daunting however counselling can provide the space for you to explore and navigate the difficulties which are having a negative impact on your mental health and wellbeing. Finding the right counsellor for you is imperative and I offer a Free 15-minute consultation to chat and to see if working together feels like a good fit for 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.

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.

I work with most psychological difficulties and aim to provide a safe space to explore your individual experiences and challenges. I aim to develop a shared understanding of your experience to help us establish goals for therapy and beyond. These might include processing difficult experiences and gaining insights into patterns of thinking or behaving that are contributing to current difficulties. These insights can help us to identify and support the development of sustainable skills and strategies that will help you to reach your goals and manage difficult experiences and strong emotions.

From childhood we are given messages about the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ways to feel, think and behave – messages that can teach us that we must hide or supress aspects of our authentic selves in order to be acceptable to others. If you’re an LGBTQ+ person, your sexuality and gender might completely unrelated to what has brought you to counselling, but you still want to know that your therapist will affirm these parts of you. In my online therapy room, you are invited to be your whole uncensored self in the company of somebody who values you unconditionally and really listens. I am a queer therapist with trauma informed training.

We seek help for many reasons and to feel seen and heard by someone who truly gets us. We may yearn for wholeness and relief from the pain and suffering that we ourselves, loved ones, friends, colleagues and wider society makes us feel. We override our own wants and needs, mask our inner selves to fit in, people please, and so many other strategies that help us get by day to day. Some of these ways of being and doing come from our past or intergenerational history, some from recent relationships, events or situations. We may feel stuck in unhelpful patterns that hold us back and never fully able to become ourselves.

Hello, I’m David. A very warm welcome to my page. Life can be really tough and challenging, particularly in these current uncertain times.

Whatever may be going on for you, it can really help to have someone to talk to impartially to give you the space to talk through your difficulties, gain valuable insights and work towards your goals.
