Email meAbout me
I am an Accredited Member of BACP offering counselling for both individuals and couples on the Southside of Glasgow.
You may be struggling to cope with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can feel a very lonely place, with nowhere to turn. Problems happen to us all and at any time in our lives. If you feel overwhelmed; perhaps fighting anxiety, or your relationship is causing you problems, or your self-esteem or self-confidence has taken a battering, counselling may help. It offers hope of getting to the heart of the matter and in helping you feel yourself once more.
My clients tell me that they found the courage and the strength through counselling to make changes in their lives that allow them to live life to the full. Typical problems that people will use counselling with me to address include:
Anxiety and depression, stress in the workplace, (bullying, harassment or unable to cope). Relationships: are you anxious you fight all the time or that you are drifting apart or even that you resent your partner. Difficult Life events that you struggle to make sense of and accept; events that have happened in your life such as a loss or bereavement. Is it difficult to come to terms and you just cannot move past. There are almost as many problems as there are people, it can make a big difference just to talk them through in the safety of counselling.
Counselling offers you the chance to find a way through your problems and overcome them. By offering support and an opportunity to work at understanding the thoughts and feelings overwhelming you, we can work to change in a positive way. Working with me, we will look at practical coping strategies and the changes that you want to make.
Yet, I recognise it can be daunting to choose a counsellor for the first time so please feel free to call or email to ask for more detail with your questions, all welcome, without obligation.
I look forward to talking to you.
