About us

Time and Space is a free, client led service for those who are troubled by voices (auditory hallucinations) and their families.

Hearing voices can be a frightening experience for the person suffering and for those around them and often people have no idea how to cope or help. We offer weekly peer support groups to our members and one to one counselling and support to our members and their families, giving them the time and space to find their own ways of coping and building up their support network.

We also offer person centred support to women who have experience of self harm.
We have a harm minimization approach to self harm and so would not ask anyone to do anything like sign a 'self harm contract'. We can offer peer support groups and one to one counselling.

Training, qualifications & experience

Our manager Elaine Weir is a qualified Person Centred Counsellor with 5 years experience of working therapeutically with voice hearing. In addition she has worked in other services with a variety of issues. She is currently undertaking her MSc in Counselling at Strathclyde and recently completed her supervision training there.

Our counsellors are all volunteers at various stages in their training. They all undertake regular training with us as well as regular external supervision.
