Bothwell Counselling Services

Hello and welcome to Bothwell Counselling Services. I'm Margaret, a Cognitive Behavioural Counsellor based in Bothwell. I have experience in working with children and adults as well as groups to improve their mental health.

Counselling is a form of talking therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at our thoughts and feelings, emotions, behaviour and physical reactions to specific situations.

Everyday life is challenging. Life events, work, home life, stress, financial worries, juggling caring responsibilities with work, bereavement and relationship issues can overload us and add pressure to everyday life. For young people, concerns around school, peers and their future often leave them feeling burdened. I can provide a safe, non-judgemental space for them to explore these issues. I have personally found counselling in my life to have helped me through difficult life experiences and I endeavour to create a safe and confidential space to allow you to do the same. Talk openly, share your worries, allow us to explore alternative thoughts, behaviours and feelings together. Even if we can’t make the worries go away, we can work to make them more manageable.
