My main approaches are EMDR and Schema Therapy.
You may be getting through each day while struggling to hold yourself together. Something has happened, or something has finally given way, and you are left wondering whether therapy is justified or whether you should be coping better by now. Many people reach this point after a loss, shock, or rupture that exposes how much has been carried for a long time. This is often where earlier relationship experiences and childhood wounds surface as patterns that suddenly feel impossible to manage alone. Therapy offers a way to make sense of what has been triggered and to work with it, rather than pushing through and hoping it settles.

I specialise in the lasting impact of childhood neglect, using Schema Therapy, CBT and EMDR to explore the patterns it leaves behind — anxiety, self-criticism, emotional exhaustion.
Do you carry a sense that something isn't quite right — not dramatically wrong, just a feeling that won't go away? Perhaps relationships feel harder than they should, or you're exhausted from holding everything together.
For many people, these feelings trace back to childhood — not to what happened, but to what didn't: the comfort, attention or care that wasn't there. Childhood neglect can be invisible, even to the person who lived it, yet it quietly shapes adult life.
We're a specialist psychotherapy clinic in Glasgow, here to help you understand why — and to find a way forward. Contact us for a free consultation.

Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
