Therapies at Glencairn House
Counselling to relieve emotional pain and build resilience
Strengthen self-awareness and agency in your life
I look forward to welcoming clients to Glencairn House where I offer a safe and confidential space for counselling. Here you can tell me about your experiences, thoughts and feelings, so that you feel heard and understood. Together we will explore any difficulties and what may lie beneath.
I focus on building a trusting relationship so you feel safe to share whatever is troubling you without judgement. I work psychodynamically, which means we’ll explore how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences and relationships. This can lead to greater insight, self-awareness and agency in your life.
Ivan Campbell
BA, MA, BPC Reg. Dip. Psychodynamic Counselling
I am a qualified counsellor, registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council, the leading professional association for psychodynamic therapy.
I work with adults (18+) of all ages and from many different backgrounds. I am experienced in working with a range of psychological issues and their impacts. This includes those who have experienced different forms of abuse, addictions, anxiety, bereavement, depression, family breakdown, health issues, identity, loss, men’s issues, OCD, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, sex-related issues, work-related stress, and psychological trauma.
I have a particular interest in the two-way relationship between physical and emotional pain, and in how anxiety can manifest in a range of chronic physiological conditions, such as back pain and digestive disorders (e.g. IBS). Thus the counselling I offer is very complementary to the other therapies provided at Glencairn House.
I am committed to the highest ethical standards, and I sit on the Ethics Committee of Wessex Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Outside of my private practice, I work as a counsellor with Wessex Counselling & Psychotherapy in Frome, and with the Somerset Counselling Centre in Taunton.
