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.

My clients are often people navigating relationship difficulties, life transitions, or neurodiversity — feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they really are. Many are also fellow counsellors seeking supervision to support their own practice. Together we build a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where you can explore what's holding you back, gain understanding, and rebuild the resilience and self-empowerment to move forward and find your authentic self.

Therapy can be intense or complicated but it doesn’t have to be. I offer a safe space with zero judgement. A place where we can explore deeper issues or just figure things out as they come up. Starting therapy is a positive step but might feel difficult. It begins with seeing who would be a good fit. I can offer you a free, no obligation, chat to help with this. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist offering a practical, structured (but not rigid) approach that is tailored to your own goals. We can discuss what’s going on for you at the moment, patterns you may feel stuck in and what can help you respond more positively.

Hi, I’m Laura and I’m glad you’re here. Living with OCD can feel like being stuck in an endless cycle of doubt and fear, especially when it comes to those taboo, “unspeakable” thoughts that no one seems to talk about. It’s exhausting, isolating, and can leave you questioning yourself in ways that feel unbearable. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone. I specialise in working with people just like you—those navigating the challenges of OCD, including its most stigmatised and misunderstood themes.

Before completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I completed a Masters in Psychological Therapy, focussing on treating adults with problems such as anxiety, depression & sleep disorders using a CBT framework.
Within my practice, it is imperative that all clients are aware that therapy is taken at their individual pace. Following a thorough assessment, I help clients understand their current difficulties by building a narrative of what past events have contributed to the current problem and what may be maintaining it. From this, we collaboratively create an individual treatment plan that targets the presenting problem/s using the most relevant therapeutic approach available.

Vitally, my clients with complex trauma, various mental health conditions and neurodiversity, built a hardy foundation of therapeutic experience to competently launch my therapist career. I yearn to provide others with the liberation to move through anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma, and soften the stark isolation that can be felt, promoting self-awareness to open doors previously locked. Therapy is fully negotiated to ensure appropriate pace, goals are identified and achieved, utilizing relevant tools that can be packed up for future use post therapy if necessary.

Ideally, you’ll feel open to hearing what psychology can do for you. You’ll feel able to speak about what life’s like for you and where you want to get to. I won’t ask you to disclose all that’s happened to you but I’ll be able to hear what you feel ready to share. As well as trying to fix things, we’ll look to see your positives and build on them. Your instincts will tell you if I’m the right person for you and whether you feel ready to embark upon a change process.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
