Colin Thomson

I now have availability for new clients

Hello, my name is Colin and thank you for visiting my profile page.

Are you or your child feeling anxious or overwhelmed and unable to understand why? If you are, then these are just two examples of why people reach out for counselling support.

I am a Accredited Person-Centred Counsellor working in Private Practice in East Kilbride (near Glasgow), and also as a School Counsellor at a large secondary school.

I have a special interest in working with young people who may be dealing with concerns that include anxiety, trauma, grief, loss and self-harm.

As your Counsellor I believe that I am in a privileged position to support my clients to achieve positive change, and offer a confidential space for our sessions together.

Relationships are very important to me and my aim is to build a relationship based on trust with my clients that will enable progress in a safe and comforting manner.

In addition to my professional counselling qualifications I also bring many years of life experience to my practice (including my many years working in industry and also as a Samaritans Volunteer) which I feel compliment my position as a Counsellor.

Working as a Person-Centred Counsellor I believe that potential clients will find me to be kind, genuine and honest, and always having your best interests at heart.

At the start of Counselling we will discuss your concerns and also what goals you may have and what you would like to get out of Counselling.

As stated in the previous section I also have many years experience as a School Counsellor at a large comprehensive School where I work with young people between the ages of 12 - 18.

My counselling practice is based in The Old Village Area of East Kilbride where I am available for both face to face and online Counselling.

There is an area for parking close to my counselling room which is also a short walk from East Kilbride Railway Station, which has a half-hourly service to Glasgow, and the East Kilbride Bus Station is a 10 minute walk away.

Prior to our first session being agreed I offer a free 30 minute (face-to-face/or phone) pre-counselling chat to discuss how I can support you and answer any counselling-related questions you may have.

This discussion can also help you decide if I will be the right counsellor for you, as a good relationship between us can help ensure counselling will be a success.
