CBT Counselling in Glasgow

[nulgirl]

Can anyone recommend a good CBT counsellor in Glasgow? My DH has been really strugggling with dealing with stress and general life pressures. He has been signed off work with stress and has been referred to a stress counsellor by the doctor but I think it would really benefit him to see someone one to one to give him the tools he needs to address his problems.

Thanks

Check the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) website and put in where you live (eg Glasgow) and there will be a list of counsellors in your area x

Thanks for that. I will look on the website. I typed into google cbt Glasgow and found a woman who seems good and looks like she has lots of experience but it is hard to tell. It seems expensive but if it will help him then it's a price worth paying as I am so worried.

If you want it soon, you will have to pay - I had an 8 month wait on the NHS. Some CPNs and practice nurses offer it, so worth asking your GP. Also worth checkig that CBT is the most appropriate counselling for him as it might not be,

Good luck!

We don't mind paying for it. Feels like we are living in a state of crisis not knowing the next time he will 'lose' it. The gp has referred him to a stress counsellor but think it is only one session and there are then groups. Think he really needs to speak to someone one-to-one. His first language is not english (though he is very good) so he takes longer to process info especially in big sessions. My friend who is a dr has recommended a psychiatrist who is meant to be excellent but not sure if we'd get a referral and if private it would be really expensive. Think that counsellors charge £40 per session and if he needed 8 sessions or so then it would certainly be worth it to.

Seb1 - thanks for the link. Will get him to have a look.
