Welcome
My name is Lauren Russell, I am an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist & Counsellor, working in Inverclyde & Renfrewshire, Western Scotland. I offer both short and open-ended therapy my clients, in-person or online.
As a CBT therapist I work with thoughts and how they impact an individuals emotions and their behaviour. I bring in different kinds of therapy tools, techniques and methods which is known as an integrative approach.
Together, we will gradually explore your current life situation, symptoms and circumstances and work to develop a new perspective and ways of being.
The number of sessions you need depends on the difficulty you need help with. Often this will be between six to twenty weekly or fortnightly sessions.
We start by discussing your specific difficulty and set goals for you to achieve. Therapy is not a quick fix. It involves you actively engaging with therapy during and between sessions.
By the end of the therapy you will know what therapy techniques work for you and have created your own toolbox, so you essentially become your own therapist.
