ONLINE GROUP: This group is designed for those who might be struggling with ADHD and its impact on impulse control, anxiety and addictive behaviours. This is a safe place for those who struggle to understand why they think the way they think, why they think differently to others, and why can't they stop dealing with difficult (loud, intrusive, fast) thoughts and feelings in any other way than delving into unhealthy and often destructive habits. Learn about your issue and about different ways of tackling it with the help of a specialist and others who can identify with your problems.

I gained a broad experience working with addictions, trauma, anxiety, family issues, mood and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
I am an experienced Counselling Psychologist, with additional Masters degrees in Clinical Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience. In my practice I prioritise putting clients and their individual needs in the forefront of therapy. I work collaboratively and flexibly within a safe and non-judgemental environment. I want you to feel heard and understood and find the best way we can work together.
A place where women can come together in a safe & supportive space. An opportunity to learn more about yourself & connect with other women who experience similar challenges. This group is for women who doubt themselves & their abilities, experience self-blame & find themselves plagued with self-criticism. Our aim is to help you become aware of your own unique strengths, challenge any unhelpful thoughts & help you create an overall more balanced self-image, leading to more confidence & healthy self-esteem. This group runs for a block of 6 weeks, 2 hours every Tuesday evening, next block in 2025. Glasgow city centre.

Group meets in Glasgow G2
Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you're just not quite good enough? Maybe it feels more extreme and often you feel like you hate yourself? Perhaps outwardly you are a confident and successful person but inwardly something just doesn't feel right? Low self-esteem can show up in various different ways - sometimes it's hard to even identify. Low self-esteem often pairs up with anxiety and/or depression. Together we can set achievable goals and work together to make sustainable and lasting changes for life.

Anxiety Support Groups
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
