Gestalt Counselling in Glasgow
Life can be exceptionally tough at times and having someone working alongside you as you navigate and figure out how to get un-stuck or move forward can be helpful. I provide a judgement free and confidential space to unpack life and its complexities together, either in person or online.

My approach is integrative and humanistic, drawing from Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Person-Centred theories, as well as my own therapeutic journey.
Many of my clients come to therapy when their old ways of coping are no longer working — when strategies that once helped them survive now feel limiting, painful, or isolating. Often, there's a deep desire to feel more connected to others, but the first step is reconnecting with themselves. I believe those two are deeply intertwined.
I often work with highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals who are navigating a world that doesn’t always reflect their ways of being. Together, we explore how to move from simply coping to living with more agency, connection, and ease.

As as a therapist, I offer the chance for a real relationship where you can feel seen and understood. Many of the people who come to see me have experienced abuse or other forms of harm in relationships, and I have particular experience supporting survivors of sexual violence.

Many others want to explore the relational patterns that they are in, and how to change these - whether that's struggling with trust, intimacy or conflict. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, and I welcome all gender identities and sexual orientations in my practice.

There are very few of us who don’t experience some kind of trauma through the course of our life. Sometimes we need practical tools to regulate our system and navigate life, there are occasions when we need help to understand and make sense of our reactions and our feelings. When we experience trauma, it can be beneficial to have a safe place for our stories to be heard and our experience to be witnessed. For many people it is not about words but about exploring what is held in the body and the need to allow what has been stored to be safely released. Integration Therapy offers a holistic container, with space for body and mind.

What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behaviour, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
