Our aim is to create a space where clients are able to express themselves, work through their challenges, and grow as individuals
About Calum
Having always been interested in helping people, Calum is passionate about mental health, personal growth, and development. Calum holds a wealth of experience, from working for over 10 years experience across private and public mental health settings.
He is experienced in working with a wide range of presentations including: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship difficulties, Grief and Loss and trained in a variety of modes of working including Schema Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. Calum believes that no individual is the same and each requires a tailored approach, so generally, a blend of approaches and therapies are utilised for each individual.
Calum does not believe in looking at people as ‘problems to be solved’, but as humans who are stuck in patterns that are not serving them. His approach in therapy is to help people to identify these patterns and to consider how we could begin to do something differently.

How we can help
Most people, don't lead their lives, they accept their lives
Calum truly believes in people’s capacity to take control of their lives for the better. Sometimes, it can be hard to see the way, we feel stuck, powerless to do anything. Slowing things down in therapy can help us to get clearer about the pathway forward, help us to refocus on the changes we can make, and take the steps we need to get there.

Working with Calum was both challenging and illuminating in equal measure. He never let me off the hook, or gave me the answers, despite me voicing my frustrations about this. On reflection, I'm glad he didn't.
Q T
Our GP recommended Calum when we were going through an especially tough time with our 15-year-old son. We met Calum together and immediately felt that we were taking steps in a positive direction with our son’s mental health.
Calum took his time to build trust with our son and guid him though his challenges without providing solutions, more so encouraging Fin to look inwards to seek out a positive path forward.
During the 18 months he saw Calum, his confidence grew and his ability to see his bigger emotional picture gained momentum.
Calum made himself available to us during a period when we often had a lot of questions and at times were despairing of the situation, we found ourselves in as family.
Calum scheduled regular meetings with my husband and I to get to know us, to help him get to know our son better. These were valuable pieces to the puzzle.
As a family, we are incredibly grateful to Calum. He was a Lighthouse to us during what was an incredibly challenging period in our lives with our family. I would not hesitate to recommend Calum to families with teenagers in crisis.

Growth is painful, but so is staying stuck in a situation that isn't working for you.
