Lewis Brown

At Growing Seeds Counselling, I am dedicated to guiding you through your journey to emotional well-being. My psychodynamic therapy approach focuses on understanding your past to shape a fulfilling future and how the unconscious parts of our thinking affect us and the decisions we make.

I studied countryside management at university, I had an appreciation for the outdoors, particularly wild spaces. I faced my own struggles and I turned my attention to studying the mind, emotions, feelings and how they are linked to the body and to the environment around us. I studied at Human Development Scotland in Glasgow and achieved the post graduate diploma in Human Relations & Counselling. I now support other trainees in their learning on this course.

I have a particular interest in attachment, how our relationships with our primary caregivers can affect us and the relationships we form in adulthood. I also have a particular interest in how we relate to the Earth around us, we are living in the climate emergency and that can bring it's own anxiety and grief.

I offer an open and safe space to explore what might be troubling you, with no judgement. Deciding to come for counselling is a brave decision, I do not underestimate the courage it takes to ask for help.

I hope we can work together, please get in touch and we can have a free 15 minute call prior to a 50 min consultation.

Therapy sessions and consultations are 50 minutes and charged at £50 per session. It is open ended, structured around your needs. 

I am based in South Lanarkshire, working from a private therapy room in Strathaven or counselling centre in Coatbridge (North Lanarkshire).

I also offer walk and talk/ outdoor therapy in Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

The first session is a consultation, to find out whether the psychodynamic approach is right for you.

I will go through the therapy agreement with you which outlines confidentiality, booking and and cancellation policies. The agreement will be signed and dated should you choose to to work with me.

There is also an opportunity to say more about what brings you to therapy.
