Counselling in Paisley

I offer weeknight sessions from 6PM to 9PM, to allow my clients to take counselling at a time of their convenience. This allows my clients to fit therapy around their lives. Online therapy for anxiety typically involves cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. Through virtual therapy sessions, clients can learn coping skills, relaxation techniques, and cognitive restructuring strategies to manage their anxiety symptoms. Online therapy for anxiety may also include mindfulness-based interventions, exposure therapy, or other evidence-based approaches.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist working in-person from my office in Paisley or oneline throughout the UK. I work alongside you on building mutual trust, respect in the therapy room to explore what is the most important issues for you. I am sensitive to the needs of each individual, and we will work at a pace that suits you best. I offer a safe and welcoming space to work to understand your feelings, to be heard and understood. Listen to your experiences and guide you through the healing process. I believe that you are the expert in your life and my role is providing a safe space to explore this.

I understand that it is not always easy to express our worries with those around us. There are times we feel overwhelmed, unable to manage difficulties in our lives, and thus finding ourselves needing a safe space to explore our feelings and thoughts, be heard, and understood. There is no shame in getting help so thank you for taking care of yourself and your mental health by seeking therapy.

Anxiety and Depression, to me, are natural emotions that everybody can experience in response to something. However, these can become a prison if they become a constant in life. I want to help you work through your fears by understanding them and through your depression by offering you a genuine human-human relationship. I hope to facilitate you in regaining your energy and courage until you feel confident in yourself again.

I could say a lot about my specific qualifications and the type of therapy I offer, but honestly, I believe all types of therapy can work. The most important factor on your journey I believe, is the therapeutic relationship you have with your therapist. If you feel you can really trust and open up to your therapist, then your journey of self discovery and healing can truly begin. So please take time to read about me and go with what your gut tells you (its normally right!) I specialise in working with adults & young people experiencing anxiety/low mood, self esteem issues, and also survivors of abuse, emotional or physical.

Therapy is an investment in yourself - Let's work together to support your mental and emotional well-being. I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

As a psychologist, I work with individuals on a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, stress, self harm, relationship difficulties and more. I utilise a variety of the therapeutic approaches to deliver psychological interventions that are tailored to your individual needs. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to identify difficulties and goals for change.

I believe that the most important relationship we will have over our lifetime is the relationship that we have with ourselves. Throughout our lives we can come to conclusions about ourselves and others that cause us to feel insecure with who we are and around others. My job as a therapist and life coach is to provide a talking space for you to figure out what is holding you back from achieving the relationships and lifestyle you deserve. The more we understand who we really are, the easier it becomes to truly and deliberately create the life we desire.

Hi my name is michelle and I am aware Choosing to start therapy can often feel daunting and terrifying.  I understand this journey, both from a personal and from a theoretical perspective. So, I just want to say thank you for putting yourself out there, even know you may have feelings of apprehension. 

Hi. Welcome to my profile. Are you here, because you are planning to make some changes in your life, or situation, or perhaps changes around yourself? ​ You might wonder, would counselling help me? ​ Would someone understand how are you feeling or what you going through? I am here to listen. I am here to support you and help you overcome what is overwhelming you. As an Person-Centered therapist I believe that the answers are already within you and my role as a therapist is to empower you to bring this forward in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

Whatever your reason for seeking counselling; abuse, anxiety, overthinking, self-esteem, work or relationship issues, to name but a few, you're probably looking for something to change. Counselling offers you a different kind of relationship, one where you can open up, explore and reassess current or historic issues which may be holding you back. With greater understanding comes greater resilience and self-empowerment, which can enable you to make the changes you want in order to enjoy your life more fully. That life can be hard is a fact. That we have to face challenging times alone is not. Get in touch and start that change!

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with experience of working with anxiety, depression, relationships, low self-esteem, stress and work-place issues. I’ll help you discover and learn tools for dealing with these issues and, in a confidential and non-judgemental environment, we can work through what is going on for you now and help you develop a means of moving forward in your life.

I have trained and practise as a person centred counsellor because I believe everyone has the potential to reach inside and find their own strength and resources, with a little help . There are times in all of our lives when we feel we need some extra help to cope with life events and struggles. I would like to help you through whatever it is that brings you here. Whether it is work, life events, or you're not sure what is wrong but feel something is not right, it can help to share your feelings with that impartial, non-judgemental someone, allowing you to clarify your own thoughts and helping you to see a way through.

I am a trained person-centred therapist, sometimes integrating mindfulness, relaxation techniques and creativity into my approach.  I can offer you a safe, confidential and warm space to explore how you are feeling. I provide counselling which can be short term, focussing on specific issues that you may be having and also longer term therapy that can help you to unravel more complex difficulties in your life. Together we will work out which type of therapy will suit you and, whatever that may be, I will go alongside you on your journey, helping you to resolve problems and difficult experiences you may have had.

I have a particular interest in working with people with relationship problems, including their relationship with their self and, with their own emotions and emotional regulation. This can manifest as social anxiety, with an underlying sense of not being good enough or being odd/not fitting in with other people and society’s expectations. If you struggle with your own identity - not knowing your own likes/dislikes/values (sometimes called codependency), then get in touch. We can explore together what gets in the way of you knowing (and accepting) the real you.
