Counselling & Well-Being Glasgow
Before I qualified as a Psychotherapist I gained valuable experience caring for individuals in our community. For over a decade I visited the sick ,elderly, and with those dealing with loss and bereavement. I also worked with individuals with physical and learning difficulties and spent quality time with children and teenagers with vulnerable backgrounds.
I have worked with young children in a variety of settings , an example is I designed a workshop called ‘ Being the Best I can Be ‘ It focuses on ‘how the way we think and behave affects ourselves and others.’ Its purpose is to promote mental and physical well-being and targets children in transition from primary to secondary school.
Alongside my professional education , I have over 20 years personal experience dealing first hand with Autism and Aspergers , experience which continues to give me insight and understanding that has proved invaluable in my work.
Bereavement, Grief, Death, Dying and loss are areas I also particularly care about. My aim is to provide a service for these issues that is sensitive, comforting and useful.
Sport and Well-being are a big part of what I do personally and professionally, until recently I worked as an assistant Karate Instructor , helping young children achieve their gradings to black belt status. I continue to work closely with a variety of sports people from amateur to professional on sporting development and performance.
I believe that my love for what I do now comes from the many years working as a volunteer in the community. As an experienced therapist, I strive to offer a service that is collaborative ,compassionate and sincere. Mostly I hope that what we do together is indeed useful and sustainable.
