Welcome to our online event! Join us for an informative evening where you can ask all your burning questions about constellations. Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just starting out, this Q & A session is the perfect opportunity to deepen your understanding of this powerful therapeutic tool. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with fellow counsellors and therapists in Glasgow. See you there!

Southside Counsellling and Therapy Centre are holding a constellation day (23rd November) for therapists and counsellors to learn about the theory of family constellations and set up some stuck client issues.

Professionals who would like to learn more about this powerful way of working are invited to attend a brief zoom call to learn more about family constellations, how they work and how bringing the wider systemic lens can support your practice. The call will give an overview of the history and overall principles of constellations.

We will then talk about the two elements of constellations - the embodied experience and the influence of systemic elements.

Participants are invited to bring their questions about family constellations, the influence of transgenerational trauma and any questions they may wish to ask about the upcoming CPD day in Glasgow.

Join us for a relaxed evening of chatting about constellations, perfect for Glasgow Counsellors & Therapists to unwind and learn something n

Five Element METAL Workshop. Hosted by Anna Bernard.
As we move through the reflective energy of Late Summer and the Earth element — a time of grounding and personal harvest — we begin the shift into Autumn, guided by the Metal element. 🍂✨
⠀
Nature now teaches us the art of letting go. Just as the trees release their leaves, we’re invited to release what no longer serves us, make space for what’s to come, and reconnect with who we truly are and what we deeply value.
⠀
This is the sacred gift of the Metal element.
✨ Join us on this journey to discover yours.

Martin is a person centred counsellor who also offers outdoor therapy from our Dumbreck location which leads into beautiful Pollok Park. "The outdoors is central to my life, I have worked as an outdoor instructor and find the environment relaxing. I often offer some session time in the outdoors as it can bring its own sense of peace and improve our wellbeing. Often, we cannot help being drawn to the natural beauty around us. This can enhance counselling sessions, providing a relaxed, soothing, environment in which to explore deeper difficult issues in a gentle and powerful way".

Hello, I’m Anna 👋
I had acupuncture myself and it was a life changing experience - so much so that I decided to study it immediately! I have now been licensed and practicing for over 25 years and have supported many clients on their path to wellness. I love what acupuncture can do and the journey it can take you on.
I am particularly passionate about Five Element Acupuncture, which treats the person and not the symptoms and aims to get to the root cause of any imbalance or ill health. I run my acupuncture clinic from home and from Dumbreck Yard on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
I am also beginning to lead workshops and coaching on the Five Elements! My first Five Element workshop takes place in October and explores the metal element: with themes of grief, reconnection, and letting go, and I'm running a launch offer of just £110 per person for the full day workshop.

Anna talks here about the Earth element and the season.

We are made up of all these Five Elements, which work together to create our system of Body, Mind and Spirit functions. We are currently in the Earth season, which carries us from summer to autumn 🌍

Balance in our Earth element allows us to stand grounded on our own two feet. We feel secure in knowing that we have enough. An imbalance in the Earth element leads to a fear of scarcity, the fear that there will not be enough food, money, love, etc. Excessive and sometimes obsessive worry results along with exhaustion and overwhelm. Trusting that one has enough, or is enough, is essential to our sense of stability and security. When we stop fearing scarcity, we are grounded and able to support ourselves as well as those around us.

Harnessing the Earth element gives us the support and courage we need to navigate this particularly transitional element.
