Vitality Counselling in Paisley
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.

We all go through times when life feels challenging, and it’s not always easy to know how to move forward. Maybe you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, or difficult emotions are getting in the way of living the life you want. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s on your mind and make sense of the challenges that have brought you to therapy. I work with a wide range of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and more.

I am a UKCP registered practitioner. I began helping people in 2000, some of whom have had medical diagnoses like depression, CPTSD or addiction, while others may have struggled with something that does not seem to have a name. The therapy I offer is an integration of humanistic and psychodynamic practices. Which means I am interested in what it is to be a person in a world of others, and in how things outside of awareness may affect us. People come to therapy for individual reasons. For some, maybe your usual ways of coping no longer seem to work. For others, perhaps a question about yourself has grown too important to ignore.

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 idea of my approach is an integrative one: I've studied, and I'm qualified to deliver, a mixed modality of therapies to address client issues. From psychodynamic active listening and using a safe space to get things out in the open, or perhaps using CBT techniques to address something specific, either way - I'm equipped to help guide you through what it is that is troubling you, or holding you back, from moving forward.

Hello, and thanks for looking at my profile. I’m an accredited therapist with over 19 years experience, and wholly comfortable in helping people with a range of issues, from trauma to depression, abuse to anxiety, and many more. For me, the most important element in therapy is whether you feel you can trust me - and I know this is not always easy. You’ve likely been hurt and perhaps a little wary and weary of people. I’m not going to “fix” you, I can’t! Though the good news is, by working collaboratively, you absolutely can heal the wounds you carry, and begin to live the life you want to.

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.
