Transactional Analysis Counselling in Merchant City, Glasgow
I am qualified in Transactional Analysis (TA) but also borrow from other counselling modalities, such as psychodynamic and existential approaches.
As an experienced therapist, I provide both short-term and long-term therapy tailored to your unique needs. Rather than applying a one size fits all approach, I work in a way that reflects your individual situation and therapeutic goals. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, workplace challenges, or relationship/family difficulties, I am here to support you. I also offer several specialised areas of expertise, working with issues around sexual abuse, shame, trauma, intimacy issues, pornography use and Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD). Additionally, I am able to provide pre-trial therapy.

I hold an additional foundation certification in Transactional Analysis.
It can often be a bit of a struggle to take that first step into making contact with a counsellor, and it’s important that everyone who approaches my practice is treated with respect. Counselling allows us to explore and understand ourselves and work towards new ways of coping while improving our overall wellbeing in an environment where we feel safe and supported.

Hi, I’m Craig. I’m an integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and Yoga Teacher, based in Manchester. I care about helping people navigate those sticky and uncomfortable moments in life.

It’s normal, at some point, to get stuck, or to struggle facing life's challenges. Sometimes we know exactly what’s wrong but at other times we might just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. Therapy can help by supporting you to explore the roots of your distress, understand more clearly what’s keeping you stuck, and create new ways to think about yourself and your relationship roles and patterns. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to problem-solve, make better choices, practise healthier coping strategies, and turn your goals into realities to find a greater sense of peace and fulfilment.
