What Do You Want to Throw Away?

  What do you want to throw away? Some anxious feelings? Some unhelpful habits? Some low mood? Or perhaps some stress? Maybe it's a relationship, a job, some stress or painful memories.   Whatever you want to throw away, we can help. We work with you, on an individual basis, at your own pace and with your goals in mind. You, and your therapist work together, flexibly, collaboratively and in partnership, to improve your quality of life and throw away some of the things that hold you back or no longer work for you.   Our therapists and counsellors and experienced, friendly, supportive and encouraging and will tailor therapy and counselling to you.   We currently have online appointments available to anyone across the Uk and in-person appointments available at our offices in Glasgow city centre.

Let's Talk!

LET'S TALK! We all need someone to talk to sometimes.... don't we?   Talking to others about our problems, concerns, thoughts, feelings or about whatever is going on for us in life can be tricky at times. It can be hard to open up and have time to focus on ourselves.   However, your mental and emotional health is sooooooo important and deserves the same care as your physical health.   Sometimes we all need someone to talk to - about the big and the smaller things in life.   Perhaps you need a listening ear and someone to talk to about life's struggles and stresses. Or perhaps you experience low mood, depression, anxiety, problems with food/eating, OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, self-harm etc. and other mental health issues.   Or perhaps you need some support with increasing confidence, self-esteem, relationship issues, assertiveness, stress and more.   Whatever the case may be, our experienced and qualified psychotherapists and counsellors can offer support and a listening

Menopause Cafe Glasgow City Centre

  Looking to chat to others about living with permimenopause and menopause? if so, join our friendly and informal group. We are starting a Menopause Cafe in Glasgow city centre in October 2024 (start date to be confirmed). This will be monthly, on a Thursday evening between 5.30pm and 7pm. The group is FREE to attend.

Do you want to develop your assertiveness skills?

  Do any of these apply to you?   * Are you sick of being taken advantage of at work, by family or in relationships? * Always find putting others before yourself?   * Ever feel stressed and exhausted at the end of the week because your are meeting everyone else's need, but no-one meets yours?   *Maybe you can't say 'no' and end up doing things or going places you either don't want to go to or have no time for.   * Perhaps you don't have a lot of confidence or worry that if you don't go along with what others are doing/saying, they will think badly of you or criticise you.   What stops you being more assertive? What stops you having more confidence or feeling more positive about yourself?   Not being assertive can lead to low self-esteem, lack of confidence, stress, anxiety and difficulties with relationships. We can also often feel drained and taken advantage of when we just go along with others and don't stand up for ourselves or our needs and views.

Eating Disorders Affect All Genders

Eating Disorders Affect All Genders   We must remember that those identifying with male and with non-female gender identities also experience eating disorders and disordered eating.   MALE EATING DISORDERS   Men and boys and anyone identifying with other genders experience eating disorders and disordered eating too.   We really need to stop leaving out non-females and other genders from the conversation. Why? Because to do so means we are discriminating against others, developing 'female-friendly' services only and perpetuating a very biased and unrepresentative picture of eating disorders. This means lots of people don't have their voice heard and don't receive support and understanding.   Our motto, since we started in 2009, has always been, 'your voice counts', and it truly does, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race, culture, background etc.   Here at Talking EDs, we see males and those identifying with other genders, of all ages and backgrounds, who ex
