Welcome, and thank you for visiting Wishaw Counselling Service.
I'm Julie, and I'm a counsellor who helps people regain control of their lives by helping them recognise what is holding them back and supporting them to deal with it so that they go on to live the life they want....or a life even better than they imagined.
When things become difficult, it is easier to hope that things will eventually blow over, but this rarely happens without it leaving its mark on you in 1 way or another.
We can all go through tough times but sometimes it just feels like too much for 1 person to cope with. This can leave you feeling stuck, trapped or unsure of what to do, even questioning if there is anything that can be done.
The good news is that you don’t have to feel this way.
As a counsellor, I can help you work through your problems to find a way back to living the life you want.
If you’re ready to get back to living the life you want, contact me now to see how I can help.
I’ve helped hundreds of people just like you so please don’t struggle alone, get in touch today.
Are you unhappy with how things are?
Would you like to:
- Realise that things can change, you’ve just gotten worn down with the difficult stuff.
- Stop the toxic positivity. There may be people with it worse than you but your stuff hurts too.
- Deal with your past to allow you to be present in the here and now and maybe even start looking towards the future.
- Take back control.
- Start reconnecting with your life and loved ones.
- Be more focused at work, or more present in your personal life.
- Start that new book/project/hobby/fitness routine without it feeling like a massive chore.
- Start looking forward to things again and even start planning days out, get togethers with loved ones, holidays and more.
But right now, you find that:
- You’ve resigned yourself to “things won’t change”.
- You tell yourself “others have it worse than me” yet it still doesn’t make you feel better.
- Your past is hindering your present.
- You no longer feel in control of your own life.
- You feel disconnected from life and/or loved ones.
- It's impacting multiple areas of your life; your sleep, your mood, your appetite, your energy levels, your general outlook is negative, you can't focus at work or are generally not motivated to do anything.
- You feel constantly busy, burnt out even, yet you're achieving nothing day after day.
- You feel like you are just existing and life is passing you by, maybe you're even quite happy for life to pass you by right now as you just don't have the energy or motivation to do anything.
My Services
Counselling and Psychotherapy
£50 for Individuals
Counselling & Psychotherapy provides you with a safe, confidential space to work through whatever issues you need to. You may be feeling stuck with your life and therapy allows you to explore this in more detail with the aim of getting an understanding of your situation. You may wish to work on current or past issues you have experienced that are still causing you difficulties. You may want the space to work through anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, loss, bereavement, or a life-changing situation.
Critical Incident Responding
£50 for 50 mins
I have extensive experience working as a trauma counsellor.
I am trained to respond to the immediate aftermath of a critical incident; a death in the workplace, a riot, an accident or any other event which has the potential to have an impact on the people involved or who witnessed the event.
When people receive therapeutic help quickly after these events, it can lessen the chances of long-term trauma.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
£50 for Individuals
I have worked as an EAP counsellor for a number of years now.
Sessions can be delivered in person, on site or online.
Counselling provides a safe space for employees to discuss their issues without judgement.
In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.
Get in touch with me to discuss your company's needs whether it's for a few individual staff members on an ongoing basis, or an onsite counsellor for a specific number of days.
Time Limited Counselling
£50 for Individuals
With Time Limited Counselling, you are still provided with the safe, confidential space to work through what you need to but for a limited number of sessions.
With this type of therapy we will discuss your needs at the start and will work together to in the best way possible within the time limits.
With this style we may be more focused on specific issues but will do our best together to resolve as much as we can during our limited time together.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
£50 for Individuals
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly referred to as "tapping," integrate elements of traditional Chinese acupressure with modern psychological principles. This method involves tapping on designated meridian points on the body while concentrating on specific emotional distress, limiting beliefs, or physical pain. EFT is employed to alleviate stress, anxiety, trauma, and phobias by rebalancing the body's energy system and facilitating emotional healing. Practitioners assert that it aids in rewiring neural pathways and releasing negative emotions. Research indicates that EFT can enhance mental well-being and resilience.

People come to me for help a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through therapy:
Stress

Sexuality

My location
I am based in Wishaw where I provide face-to-face sessions.
Wishaw is easily accessible to the surrounding areas of Hamilton, Glasgow, East Kilbride & Livingston.
I am a 5-minute walk from the bus stop and a 10-minute walk from Wishaw train station.
If you're coming by car, you can park for free on the street outside (though not on the pavement) or use my runway. If you're attending a 3.30pm appointment you may prefer to use my runway as I am near the local high school which gets out at 3.45pm.
On entry, there are 2 steps at my front door and my office is up a flight of stairs.
I also provide sessions online (video call) or by telephone, this allows me to work with people who cannot travel to my location.
