Sometimes in life we can feel stuck, frustrated or under pressure. Decisions seem impossible and the way forward unclear. This can be for a number of reasons, grief, anxiety, self-esteem, low mood, health. We are living in some challenging times so maybe it’s a combination of things. What I offer, is a confidential space to explore these areas in life and more.
I find that a combination of theories and utilising tools from them can be a very useful way to allow clients to work in a way that’s right for them. Sometimes we simply just need be able to talk to someone without judgement. This can be a powerful tool on its own.
Perhaps you are creative and would prefer to work with more visual tools, goal setting, worksheet based, or focusing on the physical , emotional or behavioural elements of ourselves.
Whatever your style I am keen to work with you and together we will find coping strategies to support you.
Example of issues I work with
Anxiety, grief, breakdown of relationships, separation, unhelpful thinking patterns, low mood, self-harm, self-esteem issues to name a few...Though sometimes, we can’t label it but just feel “off” in ourselves.
First Steps
Thinking about therapy can feel overwhelming—I’ve been there too. That’s why I offer a free introductory call or video chat to help you take the first step.
Session info
Sessions last 50 minutes, some people attend weekly, but it’s really about what you feel is right. Concession rates are available.
Client Base
I can work with people aged 16 and over.
Credentials
Insured and I adhere to the ethical framework of the BACP. I’m a PVG member and registered with the ICO to ensure your data is protected.
Where
Located in Balfron, Kilsyth & Stepps
My practice is based in the following places:
Sessions are 50 minutes and can take place as often as you need, but typically it would be weekly.
These sessions cost £50 and I ask for a upfront payment of £15 with the balance to be paid before the session takes place. This can be done via bacs or cash. My cancellation policy is that I require 48 hours’ notice; otherwise you would still need to pay for the missed session.
Our first session I ask for an additional 10 minutes of your time, so that we can go over our contract, this way you still have your 50 minutes in full without being bogged down with paperwork.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07958 702637 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
