A warm welcome from Linda Hardy
Thank you for visitng Counselling-Glasgow.
I am an experienced therapist of many years, qualfied to practice with with a Masters degree. I currently offer private counselling, CBT and therapy right next to Glasgow Central Station, and am just a short stroll away from Glasogw's Queen Street Station.
This page offers an introduction to my service, with more detailed informaiton abuot me and how I approach my work within the other pages on the site. I hope you find the content helpful, and please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions at all.
My priority is to help you feel safe and at ease for you to share anything that feels comfortable for you.
We all need support in our life sometimes, or to have space to talk about our concerns, and 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.
My philosophy is that we are our own best helper.
Through counselling, you can work towards understanding yourself better, and discover helpful tools and coping strategies.

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.
please do include what days and times would suit you best for me to call
