Counselling in Glasgow
Your reasons for seeking help are the right reasons. You may be struggling with self-esteem in relationships, peer comparison, performance or social insecurity, life, work or achievement success. Or experiencing general or specific anxiety or low mood linked with significant life changes such as changing career, retirement, unemployment, age-related (menopause), loss or bereavement. I have worked with clients for many reasons; from diverse social and cultural backgrounds with interests including ultra-running, sailing, music & creative arts; bringing troublesome issues such as binge-eating, trauma & imposter syndrome.

Our journey through life can be rough at times, and when that happens it’s healthy to get a little support. It can be overwhelming to do everything alone, so taking a moment to express ourselves to a professional and empathetic CBT therapist can make a great difference in our lives. My effectiveness as a therapist stems from empathetic listening, genuine compassion, and a non-judgemental attitude. The ability to establish a trusting therapeutic alliance creates a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions.

Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Is it all getting too much at times? Do you feel stuck but don’t know how to change? It can help to have someone impartial to talk to who can help you through difficult times and give you some space to deal with whatever is causing your distress. This is where therapy can help. I believe people seek therapy because they want to make a change in their lives. This can be scary, but having felt overwhelmed and anxious at times myself, I hope to be able to offer a supportive, calm, safe environment for you to explore your issues and work towards the best solution for you.

Feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Anxious? Low self-esteem? Depressed? If you're finding that negative thoughts and behaviours are hindering your sense of self or if you're struggling to comprehend why you're feeling low or anxious, I'm here to help.
I specialise in helping individuals understand the patterns that keep them stuck, supporting them through their journey towards resilience, strength and emotional wellbeing. CBT offers an opportunity to navigate through difficult and unwanted emotions, transforming thoughts and behaviours. I provide a secure, non-judgmental, environment for precisely this purpose.

For me, people don’t exist in isolation, and neither does emotional distress. We are shaped by our relationships, life experiences and the worlds we live in. If you've found yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or caught in painful patterns, we'll explore these experiences together with curiosity rather than judgement. Whether we meet outdoors, online or in person, I offer a relational and ecological approach to therapy that honours the whole of who you are, not just the difficulties that brought you here.

As an accredited therapist I specialise in fertility & relationship issues for both couples and individuals. You may be feeling something isn't exactly right in your relationship or have a more difficult issue. You could be going through fertility treatment or have just had a fertility diagnosis. Many people think that relationship counselling should be attended when issues hit breaking point and that is simply not the case. I see people at all stages of their relationship and some of the issues I deal with can range from Affairs/betrayals, Family issues, relationship breakdowns & fertility/infertility issues.

You may look like you are managing, but inside it feels much harder than people realise.
Maybe you overthink, check, avoid, research, push through, or try to do everything “right”. Maybe anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, health worries, OCD-related difficulties, or chronic illness have started to take up more space than you want them to.
Therapy can help you make sense of these patterns, understand what is happening underneath, and find more flexible ways to respond.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Imogen, and I am a Dramatherapist. I have worked for a long time in communities using art and theatre for self expression. I strive to create a creative, non-judgemental and brave space to express all emotions, experiences and thoughts. If sometimes putting things into words feels difficult then we can use the arts therapies to find a way to express them. I always intend to create a space for my clients where they have freedom to play, feel and express themselves.

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.

Are you a parent or carer of a child or young person who has additional support needs, special educational needs or learning disabilities? Are you struggling to understand your child's needs, their learning or their behaviours? Would you like to learn more about helpful strategies and approaches that you can use to reduce their behaviours and anxiety, or to enhance your child's mental health and learning? Would your child benefit from help to navigate relationships and school? Would it be helpful for you, too, to talk over your concerns in a safe, and supportive setting?

I became a Psychotherapist because I’ve seen what it’s like when life breaks you open — when love hurts more than it heals, when you lose yourself trying to hold everything together. But, I have also seen the other side of recovery where pain is turned into healing, boundaries and a greater self worth!
My work now is about helping others find their way back to safety, confidence, and connection — whether that’s healing from domestic abuse, rebuilding after trauma, or learning how to have healthy, grounded relationships again.
If you’re ready to understand yourself better and start feeling stronger then you’re in the right place.

I’m a qualified CBT therapist based in the west end of Glasgow with experience in NHS and education. This background has given me a strong understanding of the complex pressures faced by adults and young people during times of stress, change, or uncertainty.
I work well with clients experiencing anxiety, including panic attacks, phobia and social anxiety. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I’m committed to creating a space where clients feel understood whilst navigating issues relating to gender, sexuality or identity.
My approach is collaborative and based on evidence which allows clients to develop practical tools for change.

Do you find it difficult to talk to those closest to you about your issues and concerns?

I offer a calm, reflective space where you can explore what's happening in your life and make sense of how past experiences may still be influencing you today.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we look at the patterns that repeats - in relationships, self-talk and emotions - and begin to understand where they come from and how they can change. Therapy with me isn't about fixing who you are, but about understanding yourself more deeply so you can live with greater ease and self-awareness.
