Counsellor and Psychotherapist Sonia Scott BA(HONS), MBACP
I am a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist with over 30 years experience of working in the mental/emotional health field.
As an Integrative Therapist I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, IFS, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused and Brief Solution Focused Therapy. However (as most of the research suggests) I would consider that the relationship between counsellor and client is usually more important than the type of approach used.
I have been practising as a counsellor since 2004 and have had my own private practice in the West End of Glasgow since 2008. I also offer training on Mindfulness both on an individual and group basis. I have extensive experience of working with a wide range of issues including emotional and relationship difficulties, depression, diversity, anxiety, loss/ grief, self-esteem, bereavement and addictions. From my base in the West End of Glasgow I offer a supportive and comfortable environment where personal issues can be explored safely and without judgement.
I passionately believe that all individuals have the capacity to fulfil their potential and make positive choices/ changes in order to improve the quality of their lives.
