Forensic Psychology Counselling in Glasgow
I help people reclaim their lives when physical health and mental well-being collide. As a Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy) with NHS and private experience, I specialize in the "stuck" places-navigating diagnoses, health-related trauma and life transitions. Whether you are adjusting to a new diagnosis or managing long-term physical conditions, I offer a high-level, collaborative space to build resilience. I integrate evidence-based tools like ACT, DBT and CBT to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to regaining your sense of agency and autonomy. You don't have to navigate this complexity alone.

Facing the day with a niggling sense of confusion, unease or sadness will affect everything around you, it limits your ability to engage and really be in the moment. These feelings may be linked to a past event in your life, a situation you are currently in or you may be unclear as to why you feel this way. What is important is that at the centre is you. Often, we know we need to prioritise ourselves better, but maybe we do not know how to, we are unsure what we need and are hesitant to ask for this. Are you eager to find out why you respond the way you do? Why you think the way you do at times?

You may appear capable and successful, yet your inner world feels harder to manage than others realise. Your mind moves quickly, but focus, emotional regulation, or sustained energy can feel difficult. You might wonder why your potential is not fully expressed, despite your intelligence and effort. You may also be questioning whether ADHD, autism, stress, racial trauma, workplace bullying or burnout plays a role. What you want now is understanding. You want to know how your mind works and how to work with it despite your experiences.

Forensic Psychology Counsellors
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behaviour that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.
Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.
Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behaviour as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.
How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
