Sally Railley Psychotherapy

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a psychological therapist (psychotherapist). This means I have extensive knowledge in the field of the psychology as well as counselling and psychotherapy.

Masters in Psychological Counselling

PG Certificate in Counselling Skills.

Bachelor of science with Honours in Psychology.

ASIST Training (Suicide Prevention)

Mental Health First Aid.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I have a particular interest in counselling individuals on the ASD spectrum, i.e Asperger's and autism. Also anyone from any religion or background/culture that is suffering from any kind of abuse. I have also had success counselling individuals from the LGBT community with issues relating to gender and/or sexuality.

My work with children also means I have gained quite a bit of experience in this field. I would recommend my free half an hour phone call initially to assess your child and to discuss the best ways of moving forward within the therapeutic field. Whether that would be with me or we could discuss a suitable referral.

Further information

I currently manage a project for Place2Be, within a primary school in East Kilbride. Place2Be is a children's mental health charity based in schools across the UK. I have previously worked in Ayrshire for Place2Be for 2 years and I also did my placement within a high school in Glasgow for one year which has offered my a wide range of experience in counselling children and young people.

I have also volunteered within a further education establishment within Glasgow. This position has provided me with experience of working with a diverse range of clients, especially with different race, religion and cultures and many cultural traditions that may have caused detrimental effects and trauma, such as FGM (female genital mutilation) and asylum seekers who are traumatised by what they have been through before coming to the UK.
