full spectrum of simple to complex problems mental cognitive behavioural emotional social psychiatric and existential concerning life meaning and purpose individuals couples and groups can receive skilled experienced professional help and support in person or online via high quality video conferencing wherever you live in the world former domain name therapyglasgow com accurately assessing your needs i have 27 years clinical experience in assessing patient needs in nhs primary and tertiary care and private practice where i learned to quickly and accurately assess serious enduring and complex presentations in order to direct patients to the most appropriate form of help for meeting their particular needs in an average of four sessions in my practice assessment of your needs will provide you with detailed insight into the historical roots of your problems individuals and couples how you are maintaining them and whether or not my practice can help you resolve them if it can you will also be given an outline of specific therapeutic tasks that will allow you to make the changes you want from therapy if i think another service or approach would better match your needs symptoms or personality i will usually be able to tell you this in the first meeting and will share this with you to save you time and money my aim is to speak plainly and only work with you if your needs can be best served by my practice accurate assessment also helps you avoid the common pitfall of paying for weeks and months of sessions of therapy in which you talk through your problems repeatedly with no clear feedback guidance or direction from a therapist or where you have chosen a technique based therapy like emdr or cbt that may be too restrictive for you many patients who come to me commonly relay stories of months or years using commonly promoted approaches that have barely scratched the surface of their symptoms much less addressed the underlying causes the time effort and money wasted in taking the wrong directions in therapy is all completely unnecessary when you can receive a good assessment at the start of your journey cognitive behavioural and trauma interventions are available in this practice relief within a few sessions counselling and symptom management approaches are available in this practice and can provide relief from anxiety stress worry depression loss bereavement distress and confusion when you are troubled you can quickly understand your problems and begin to create more effective ways of coping within a fairly short period of time you also have the option of specifically tailored meditation and yoga tuition for additional relief from over thinking addictive impulses anxiety insecurity panic attacks and other difficult emotional states subject to assessment of your core needs presentation and history resolving the causes not just the symptoms if you pursue depth psychotherapy after assessment this focusses on resolving the root causes of your struggles including more serious or enduring problems that you may have tried to solve by therapies that did not work for you or by going to the gym keeping busy or escapism comfort eating etc deeper work offers you the opportunity to resolve long standing issues emotional pain and mental suffering to overcome ingrained habits over thinking and unsatisfying ways of relating to others to make new lifestyle changes that are actually good for you and your relationships and to create more authentic honest ways of experiencing and living your life depth psychotherapy is analytical focussed on helping you to clarify and deepen your understanding of yourself somatic concerned with your relationship to your body and what you are doing with your emotions trauma informed focussed on resolving unfinished business from your past that causes you pain or hardship in the present neurology informed geared to understanding what you can do to support and heal your nervous system experiential tailored to help you experience your life with more depth instead of turning everything into over thinking holistic existential analysis and integrative psychotherapy encompass the childhood family workplace social political economic lifestyle environmental physiological and spiritual contexts that produce our emotional and mental disturbance and suffering existential formed around the big perspective of your life in the context of personal meaning mortality and the time you have left on earth the unique value of your own experience self reliant empowerment and walking your own path independent of other people telling you how you should be human unlike the trend in using phone apps a i advice youtube videos and technology to help people temporarily calm and reassure themselves psychotherapy in this practice is about human relationship and its power to heal us through genuine human contact and understanding sharing personal truth through empathic connection intuitive wisdom vulnerability and the development of emotional and spiritual intelligence to deepen our appreciation of life appreciating the whole person combined with somatic approaches like yoga and meditation dietary changes improved sleep hygiene psychotherapy in this practice offers a unique holistic way of working that treats you as a whole person with a history lifestyle context values views and aspirations rather than a collection of unwanted experiences that many of us may try to medicate and numb out of awareness psychotherapy can include additional supports as standard such as detailed assessment at the start of our work with a list of therapeutic tasks core to your needs and hopes for change tailored one to one yoga tuition for helping you exist more in your body and less in your thoughts various forms of meditation and guided awareness practices to help you build skills in controlling your mind instead of letting your mind control you emotional intelligence development and somatic experiencing to help you feel more at home in your own body art therapy for individuals who find it easier to access emotions and experiences through images music movement etc specific protocols designed by this practice for helping patients recover and heal their nervous systems and resolve the effects of trauma and conflicts within their psyche extensive resources articles courses guided meditation audio and optional support between sessions when required socio cultural and spiritual we live embedded in political and spiritual contexts that profoundly influence our direction and mindset feeling more like yourself if you want more than symptom relief and techniques to tide you over psychotherapy in this practice is a path for re humanising yourself in a world that is being rapidly and deliberately de humanised human life can be an experience for growing your consciousness into greater sanity love power and wisdom so that you can live well emotionally mentally physically morally and in line with your nature in this sense existential analysis is for individuals who want to re learn how to be more human more themselves and who may be fed up trying to squeeze themselves into a mould dictated by society working at deeper levels of your psyche can allow you to realise that symptoms and diagnoses are merely surface ways of labelling human nature they are not who you are nor are they defects of your character depth psychotherapy aims at building self reliant mental health and wellbeing by learning to understand accept and see the value in the being that you are and thus what your mind body emotions and conscience are actually saying to you through your symptoms not in words but in feelings intuitions tensions habits avoidances dreams and thoughts what really matters life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced søren kierkegaard we live in an era where there seems to be no such thing as normal any more where the value of being human is being rapidly eroded by routine dependencies on frivolities social media pretentiousness escapism technology consumerism division between people mindless obedience and conformity and uncritical acceptance of the powers that be for example many of the things we were told would make our lives easier have in fact made them harder and shallower and less human and intimate in many ways real human connection and individual mental stability are suffering as a result with mental disorders doubling since 1990 ref ask yourself whether you are fully valuing respecting understanding appreciating and caring for yourself as a person right now ask how authentic your relationships are and whether you are truly happy in them ask whether or not you feel free and secure in life and whether you are focussing on what truly deeply matters to you if not then it is possible to find ways to live in a state of greater awareness skill conscience responsibility fearlessness self reliance with perspective and appreciation of the life that you are so that you can find greater peace with your self it is possible to quickly get to the core of what you struggle with and to resolve it wherever humanly possible all you need and this is no small thing is the courage and conscience to face yourself so that you can deepen your understanding of how and why you are as you are and then to do the straightforward work you need to do to form a new more self reliant self respecting path of wellbeing for yourself this is true whether you have a diagnosis or not see the services and patients pages
