Counselling in Isle of Arran

Hello, I am Monica, an experienced Counsellor & Supervisor. If life feels really tough right now, let me help you build resilience and confidence to cope with everyday eventualities. I will listen attentively and help you find a way forward by exploring the issues you present with. Life can be tough and it can feel too much at times. We will take a step at a time and work towards achieving your goals. I will respect what you have to say without judgement and work emphatically alongside you. Whether it be to make changes; to tell me things you have never told anyone; I will be beside you on your journey to do all of this.

I am a qualified and registered counsellor and I currently offer face to face, as well as online or telephone sessions. I utilise, person-centred, CBT and psychodynamic therapy. I tailor the therapy to meet the needs and issues of the client. I provide confidential, non- judgemental therapy for adults, and family support including children. I have experience working with bereavement, grief and loss, including infant loss, building self-confidence within adults & children's well-being, stress, anxiety, depression and anger management.

I work with people who are neurotypical as well as with neurodivergent people. This includes but is not limited to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). You may have a diagnosis, or you may just want to explore the possibility of being neurodivergent. Being Autistic and having ADHD myself benefits neurodiverse clients greatly as I understand the unique processing ways and needs of such clients and can tailor the sessions to suit your individual needs, (including sensory issues).

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and it can be difficult to talk to people we know about things that trouble us so we keep it all inside. I have worked with various issues including grief, anxiety and relationship problems. Whatever has brought you to think about counselling, I believe that we all experience things differently. I believe that you are the expert on you, but at times things can seem unclear and difficult to make sense of. My role as counsellor is to help enable you to explore your issues and make positive changes, and to provide a safe, confidential space for you that is without judgement.

At any time in our lives we may struggle to cope – this can be because of bereavement, breakdown of relationships, difficulties at work or loss of employment, physical illness, mental ill health such as anxiety or depression, traumatic experiences or just because we are not happy with life in general. For many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated feelings of isolation and anxiety.

I am a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, with 12 years experience working in NHS CAMHS teams and the charity sector. I offer brief, medium and long term psychotherapy for children and adolescents, and offer developmental support to parents and carers. I have specific training and experience in the treatment of adolescent depression, psychotherapeutic interventions for fostered, adopted and looked after children, and psychotherapy for university students suffering with mood disorders. I also offer psychotherapy to children and young people suffering from depression, who have a diagnosis of autism.

I am passionate about creating a safe and non judgemental and confidential space in which you feel comfortable to explore the issues and concerns you are facing at present. Everyone is the expert of their own life and it’s my job to help you to make the changes that are important to you. I aim to provide you with a genuine and real experience, understanding and walking alongside you in your journey. I believe in a compassionate collaborative approach between you and myself, to support your right to happiness, healthy relationships and healing your past.

I am an integrative CBT therapist from Scotland, passionate about helping individuals shape day-to-day struggles into a happier, calmer, more fulfilling life. In my own experience of ADHD and Autism, I have developed creative ways to adapt traditional therapies for neurodiverse clients who may struggle with traditional therapy structures.

I offer a service to people looking for help to: manage their weight, to manage stress and emotional struggles and to engage in positive habits and reduce unhelpful habits to improve health and well-being. You may have struggled in your relationship with food for many years and would now like help to make life-long changes for better health and so that you can be slimmer and/ or fitter. You may have experience of: physical health conditions and pain, mental health problems and/or trauma during your childhood and/or in adulthood

Are you looking for a space to talk, be listened to and make sense of how you feel? I understand it can be hard to open up to someone. I'll provide a safe, confidential and nonjudgmental place where you will be supported to explore any issues which may be affecting your life and help you to find a way to move forwards. I believe that we all have the ability to grow and achieve our potential and that a positive therapeutic relationship can greatly aid this process.

I work with people to help them make sense of their emotions and process their experiences through therapy. I work with people who have had challenging childhoods, family relationships and work lives, or have experienced abuse and trauma. My work includes deeply understanding life changing experiences of loss, bereavement, anxiety and depression. I also work with people who feel that they might need counselling but are unsure about the causes and maintenances of their feelings and behaviours. Life is varied and complex- your reasons for coming to counselling might be too.

My typical clients are those affected with different forms of compulsive / addictive behaviours - these might include Porn, Sex and Love Addictions; Gambling & Narcotics abuse; or those who are Workaholics. Usually clients first see me when they have reached a major crisis point in their lives and are seeking a person who has an understanding of their issues and how to help change their situation by tackling their problems head-on. I also undertake Relational and Pyschosexual therapy for individuals and couples. Further details on my background and approach can be found online at www.trustedtherapeutics.com
