About me and my therapy practice
I am a BACP accredited Therapist with experience of working with trauma, addictions depression and anxiety. I have a wide range of experience and skills and incorporate sound Theory based practices that I have developed over 2 decades in the care sector. My website has details of my work and approach to delivering therapy that meets your needs.
My Approach is integrated using Cognitive Behavioral and compassionate focused therapy and Mindfulness practice. I provide individual therapy face to face or by telephone or online Zoom sessions. I work with Young people 12- 18 and adults and can also provide couples counselling.
Practice description
My practice is based in Renfrewshire Scotland with my main practice room located in Paisley. I can also see Clients in Glasgow and surrounding areas. I have a 22 year track record of providing high quality therapy tailored to your specific requirements.
My sessions last 50 minutes and I also provide a detailed individual treatment plan incorporating resources and exercises to support your goals.
I also provide walk and talk therapy and creative writing and art based therapy.
My first session
My website provides an overview of what to expect when you attend your first session. I start by arranging a free 30 minute consultation by telephone or zoom. You can decide if you what I offer suits your needs. This gives me the opportunity to consider if what you require is within the scope of my practice.
If you arrange a session I provide a contract and we arrange for 3 sessions followed by a review. The contract sets out my policy on confidentiality, times, payment options and cancelation and complaints policy.
I also send you a clients detail form to gather information and details of what to expect and information on data protection.
