Many of my clients come to me because they face:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Relationship, sex and family issues,<\/strong>\u00a0anxieties and breakdown<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work and professional stress<\/strong>, anxiety and crisis<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alcoholism, drug dependency, sexual, relational and other addiction<\/strong>\u00a0problems<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eating disorders<\/strong>, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other food dependency issues<\/li>\n<li><strong>LGBT, minority and other discrimination issues<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Self-confidence, self-esteem and anxiety-related issues<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>And many more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Counselling in Glasgow: My Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>My\u00a0philosophy is simple. I follow five key principles in my work, and make these clear to my clients at the outset:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>I\u00a0deal with clients where they are, not where I\u00a0want them to be.<\/strong>\u00a0No matter what stage you are in therapy, or where you are right now with your issues, or what those issues are, I&#8217;m\u00a0happy to talk and see if I can help. I work with clients young and old, from a whole variety of backgrounds, and with a number of issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I don&#8217;t try to mould my work with clients to fit into one particular theoretical approach.<\/strong>\u00a0I have trained across a whole variety of disciplines in an integrative way, including person-centred, existential, 12-step and psychoanalytical approaches. I believe that there is some good in the worst theories, and some bad in the best theories. I never let a particular theory or approach direct or constrain my work with a client.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If I can&#8217;t help, I&#8217;ll say so, and try to refer on appropriately.<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes the dynamic between a therapist and client really doesn&#8217;t work. I\u00a0don&#8217;t want you to waste your money or time. If your interests would be better served elsewhere, I\u00a0promise to tell you and try to refer you on to a more suitable therapist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I practice strict confidentiality.<\/strong>\u00a0I take client confidentiality very seriously. I\u00a0operate within the strict\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bacp.co.uk\/ethical_framework\/\">ethical framework\u00a0<\/a>laid down by the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bacp.co.uk\/\">British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy<\/a>\u00a0(BACP). I\u00a0always operate within the law, and take data protection legislation as a duty and a given.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I am honest, open and discreet in all my dealings.<\/strong>\u00a0Shame, guilt, fear and betrayal are parts of many of my client&#8217;s stories. I believe that moving past these, and developing self-esteem and self-care is essential for all my clients. No matter where you&#8217;ve been, or how you feel, my aim is to help, not judge you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you have any questions about my approach, or the principles above, please feel free to <a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"https:\/\/talkingtime.co.uk\/index.php\/therapist-g12-glasgow-w2-west-london\/\">get in touch<\/a> using the form on this site, or my contact details.
