Ian Waugh, the founder of Bridging the Barriers Tweed Coast Counselling Practice and Genuine Relating, has developed a unique approach to counselling called "Genuine Relating." This approach utilizes a dynamic and interactive approach to therapy, enabling people to heal, grow, and flourish while creating healthy intimate relationships.

Whether you are an individual or a couple struggling with personal and relationship challenges, mental health and substance use issues, or anger management, Ian can provide assistance. He has extensive experience as a counsellor and Gestalt psychotherapist, utilizing Gestalt Therapy as a relational approach to psychotherapy and counselling.

Gestalt Therapy, grounded in self-awareness, genuine relating, and experiential learning, promotes growth, healing, and change. It can assist in resolving mental health and emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, life crisis, relationship problems, or anger issues.

Genuine Relating explores the hidden 'stuff' we each bring to our relationships. By addressing this hidden stuff, we can improve the quality of our interactions, leading to a deeper sense of connection and belonging. Often, we are unaware of what triggers us into negative interactions, and others may be easily offended by our comments or actions that were not intended to harm or hurt. Through Genuine Relating, we can navigate these murky waters of relating and find genuine connection and a deeper sense of belonging.

If you're ready to create healthier connections, overcome personal obstacles, and build a brighter, more fulfilling, and joyful future for yourself and your loved ones, Ian Waugh Counselling is here to support and guide you. Contact us today to begin your journey towards healing, growth, and positive change.
