Counselling in Lanarkshire

Counselling can be a really daunting route to take. Feelings, thoughts & emotions can be painful so it's easier to switch off. What if taking time out of your day talking to me perhaps gave you breathing space, gave you time to think, feel, revaluate allowing you to navigate your way through that pain. People come to me for all different reasons from but not limited to anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress & relationship issues but what stays consistent with my work is that you receive a confidential and safe support space when you need it most. Call or email for a free initial chat to establish if I am a good fit for your needs

As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist I also draw on a number of therapeutic approaches to provide an intervention that suits you and supports you to meet your goals. I work with people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems which are creating issues in their lives and willI provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties. I have worked with clients on with a range of issues including Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem, Bereavement and Loss, Relationship problems, Worry/Rumination, Social Anxiety, Anger Management, Life Transitions, Skin Picking and Trictillomania.

Everything starts with a thought - this is what Cognitive Behavioural Therapy bases it's theory on and how I can help you to overcome your current issues. Motivation to change is important in therapy and you have started the process by looking here to see what is on offer. It can be overwhelming - just like your thoughts, together we can break it down bit by bit working from past to present or present to past, we will decide on this together.

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle. This could be a numb feeling preventing any joy or light getting in. It could be feeling constantly on edge, aware of every sight and sound. Or you might not be able to put your finger on it. There is just a nagging feeling that something isn’t right, when on the face of it, it ‘should’ be. Whatever it is, it can be draining. When we feel distressed, we often retreat inwards. Reaching out can often be difficult. I understand the strength that it takes. A strength borne out of a desire for change. For something better. Searching for support is the first step on that journey.

Welcome to Gateway Counselling (Lanarkshire). My name is Rosamond and I am available to offer counselling within a secure environment in order to explore whatever is happening in your life. Here at Gateway we understand that there are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, at a loss and without hope concerning our past, our present and even our future. As Steve Jobs said “sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick”. It is because of this that i, myself, undertook personal counselling. This then led to my desire to reach out to others who face trauma and challenges in life where professional support and help is needed.

I am a HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist, offering short or long-term interventions. I base my work on having a warm and empathetic understanding of people's difficulties and provide a supportive and compassionate approach to therapy. I have experience in working with individuals with a wide range of presentations and psychological difficulties, and I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models. I work pluralistically, providing evidence based practice based on the needs and wants of individual clients.

My training over the past 10 years, as a counsellor , has culminated in the award of an MA in counselling and psychotherapy. I am an experienced psychotherapist and mental health crisis services manager with expertise in face-to-face and helpline/online counselling for individuals and groups. I believe that the client(you) is the expert in their experience and I am working with you to find what best suits you. In my opinion, we all have the potential to overcome difficulties and struggles when the right conditions are present. I am a firm believer that the relationship between the client and the therapist can be healing in itself.

I’ve worked with many men, teenagers and young adults. If you've ever spoken at length and not felt heard or understood or if you've reached a point where something has to give, you aren't alone. If you're wondering if your problems aren't severe enough for therapy, be assured, there is no threshold or minimum. You deserve care and support. All you need is the desire and determination to change, to make things better, to heal and to move forward. Whether it’s childhood trauma, work stress, anxiety, your health, relationship issues or you just find some days that bit too difficult, I'm here to help you find the change you crave.

Whatever you bring to therapy, rest assured you will be treated with warmth, compassion, dignity and respect. Our sessions will be very much determined by you and what you need. I believe that deep down you have the answers and solutions to your questions and problems. My role is to support you in finding them and trusting them. As your counsellor I offer my commitment to you and your wellbeing, providing a warm, safe and non-judgemental space. Here you will feel truly accepted for all that you are, which in turn, will enable you to accept all aspects of yourself too.

Prioritizing your mental and physical health means that sometimes you require further external support. I am here to support you as you gain self-awareness, develop healthier coping mechanisms around behaviours which have been negatively impacting your life. You may be feeling stressed, or in pain, low, helpless, or anxious. Together we can create a plan to support your needs and reach your goals.

People come to see me for a wide variety of reasons and there is no typical client. I see people from all walks of life and with many different issues to address. My aim is to enable clients to express their feelings and explore the issues that affect them in a safe, confidential and comfortable environment. I take a person centred approach and work at the pace dictated by the client.

Hello, I’m Liz, thank you for exploring my profile. I know it can seem daunting to even think about discussing the challenges you face but I’m here to provide a safe space for you to do just that. You will be welcomed with empathy and acceptance and we will collaborate to facilitate the change you need. I work mainly in a person centred way but apply other therapeutic models according to your needs. I have a passionate belief in the hope for healing, growth, personal development and transformation that counselling affords and I am totally committed to the process of working with you to achieve progress and see you flourish.

If I’m right, keep reading… I like to call this YOUR CALL TO ACTION. If you are feeling stuck and low, and YOUR QUALITY of LIFE is dire. It’s pretty horrible isn’t it?
