Trauma Focused Counselling in Glasgow
We all encounter times in our lives where we may feel anxious, sad, angry, or stuck in a pattern of unhelpful behaviour. This can impact our day to day lives, our relationship with ourselves and our relationship with others.
We know that something must change but might not be entirely sure how to move forward.
By offering a warm, safe and supportive space I can help you. I use a blend of psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapy to support people in understanding themselves more deeply and feeling more grounded and present in everyday life.

It's tough opening up to someone but we, via the therapeutical alliance, can create a safe space of trust where there is confidentiality, no judgment and that the client feels comfortable sharing. Here are some testimonials from previous clients for you to ponder: Social anxiety- My gran nearly fainted when she saw me ask someone who works in a shop a question, something I've never done in my life before. Trauma- Thanks so much for all that you've done, honestly you've been a saviour to me. Low self esteem- I've realised I'm stronger than I thought. Depression- You've helped me see that I can get the joy back in my life. Thanks.

I have worked with a variety of adult mental health problems for 20 years, for the past 12 years as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I am experienced in offering both brief and longer-term psychological therapies, and I am trained in understanding complex problems from a number of psychological perspectives. I believe it is important to be both informed by evidence-based practice and also offer support that is tailored to an individual’s unique needs. This is especially important if you are experiencing a number of difficulties and need a personalised formulation of those difficulties to guide the selection of therapy approaches.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who understand where their difficulties come from, yet still feel stuck. You might know you are good enough, yet not feel it. You may struggle with low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem or a harsh inner critic that affects relationships, work and daily life. I have a special interest in maternal mental health, supporting women with postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, mum guilt, overwhelm or feeling lost in motherhood, as well as difficulties that continue beyond this stage. Whether you are a mum or not, if you feel exhausted, stuck or disconnected from yourself, you are not alone.

Hi, I'm Sheena. Many of my clients have spent years feeling anxious or out of step, successful on the outside, but quietly struggling inside. Often, they're only just discovering they're peri-menopausal, neurodivergent or navigating big identity shifts and transitions, such as moving to university, changing career or exploring their relationships. Maybe you've always had a love for self-development. You've read the books, you attend the courses, you reflect deeply but something still feels stuck.

Hi, I'm Jem.
In the counselling room, I welcome the whole self, mind, body, and spirit. Metaphors and analogies often help make sense of complex emotions, and I see therapy as a journey.

My aim is to help you process your experiences, clarify your goals, and help you step into your role as an active agent of change, empowered to create the shifts you want in your life.
