Welcome

My name is Phyllis Wood and I live in Lennoxtown which is easily accessible from Glasgow; Falkirk and Stirling. In fact , West Central Scotland.

I am a qualified, person-centred counsellor holding a postgraduate diploma in counselling from Strathclyde University. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am bound by its ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy and subject to the professional conduct procedures therein. I have regular supervision of my work in line with BACP guidelines and attend regular on-going training.

I also hold the Cosca (Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland) Certificate in Counselling skills from the same University.

I offer confidential, person-centred counselling in a safe environment, providing a space for clients to talk and explore their feelings and concerns. These may include:

• Relationship problems
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Depression and illness
• Loss or bereavement
• Stress
• Self-esteem
• Desire to improve quality of life
• Panic or trauma
• Difficulties at work
• Loneliness
• Life changes.

Counselling can sometimes be for those who are seeking a greater understanding about themselves.

I welcome clients who come for any reason. I chose to become a person-centred counsellor because I have a strong belief in human potential and the ability to grow and change in positive ways given the necessary core conditions of:

• Acceptance
• Congruence
• Empathy
