Our counselling service
Life & Soul Counselling is an established service delivering high quality, professional counselling for individuals in and around Glasgow.
We will welcome you into a space where you will be heard, understood, valued and fully accepted as you are. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique and so our therapeutic approaches are tailored to each individual client’s needs. This allows us to best support you to process both past and present issues and to live your life to your full potential – free from whatever is limiting you.
Our team are trained in a variety of different approaches (including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT), and attend regular Supervision and Continuing Professional Development courses, all of which enable us to provide you with the best possible support in your counselling journey.
We believe that every life is full of potential, possibility and hope, and that every person accessing our service is worthy of unconditional acceptance, belonging and connection.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our Counsellors are qualified to Diploma level or above and have a wide range of experience and expertise. They hold membership with professional bodies including COSCA, BACP, BABCP.
In order to maintain best practise and provide excellent care for our clients, our counsellors engage in frequent Continuing Professional Development and attend regular Supervision.
We offer various different models of therapy within our work, including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT. Our team is experienced in working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, family difficulties, trauma and abuse. Our counsellors also individually pursue their own specific fields of interest and expertise.
What's the process like?
Counselling works by offering a safe therapeutic relationship within which you will experience acceptance, honesty and kindness.
We will tailor our therapeutic approaches to your needs as we support you to process past and present issues, and will help you move forward so that you can live life free from the things that are holding you back.
How long does it take?
Effective counselling takes time since it involves exploring thoughts patterns and behaviours. There is flexibility with the number of sessions you engage in, and this would be discussed and reviewed between you and your counselor within the counselling process. Every client’s story and journey is different and so the length of time you attend counselling will take into account your particular needs and circumstances.
How much does it cost?
The cost is £30 per session. We seek to make our counselling as accessible as we can. Our counsellors volunteer their time and our pricing simply reflects our costs.
Is your service open to individuals of all beliefs and faiths?
Yes, absolutely! Anyone is welcome to access our service.
Our counselling offices are based within The Point, which is a community hub run by Queens Park Baptist Church. Its purpose is to be used for the benefit of the local community e.g. as a venue hire for training courses, toddler groups, ESOL cafe etc. Life&Soul Counselling is part of this Hub, and like the other services offered here, welcomes individuals of all faiths and none.
The counselling process itself does not include reference to faith of any type, unless of course it’s something you bring up yourself and want to talk about. Our sessions are always client-led, which means that we help our clients explore whatever subjects they choose to bring to each session. As with any professional counselling service, personal opinions or beliefs of the counsellors are not brought into the sessions. It’s all about you!
