We all need support in our life sometimes, or to have space to talk about our concerns
There could be so many reasons as to why you are here right now. Perhaps you feel stressed or anxious; low in mood or motivation; or feeling grief from a loss or life changing event.
You may want to work on being more confident within yourself - perhaps socially, or better able to assert your point of view. Or family dynamics or inter-relationships may be a cause of concern or distress.
It could be that it is hard to even understand how you are feeling; or perhaps to have the space talk through one area that is concerning you right now that you want to make 'sense' of.
Whatever the reason is that you are seeking support right now, my priority is to help you feel safe and at ease for you to share anything that feels comfortable for you.

Taking COVID into consideration
As we are 'moving forward' through COVID, it is understandable if you feel concerned or apprehensive about the continued risks - I know I do! Therfore, I have set out my room to ensure that we are as safe as possible, whilst providing a warm, welcoming space for us to meet. You may also have your own personal requirements, such as for us to wear a mask before we are seated, and that is okay with me.
If you have any concerns about booking an in-person appointment, please do not hesitate to contact me to ask anything at all about the safeguards that I have in place.
A telephone Consultation is available before you commit to booking a service
It is never easy trying to find somebody you can trust to talk to - especially if this is your first time 'taking the leap'. So, I offer a telephone consultation first, which can last for anything up to 20 minutes.
This would provide an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have about counselling, or about what to expect from the sessions. It would also provide the opportunity for me hear from you about why you are seeking support at this time.
More importantly, it will give you a sense of whether you feel comfortable having me as your counsellor. There would be no obligation to book a follow-on service.
E-mail me here at Counselling-Glasgow to request a consultation.
