CBT & Integrative Therapy

Does this sound familiar?
If you’re looking for therapy in Glasgow for anxiety, this may resonate with you:
On the outside, you’re coping. On the inside, your body hasn’t got the memo that you’re safe yet.
You can’t fully relax, even when nothing is wrong. There’s a constant background tension or dread.
Your mind replays conversations or situations on a loop — and then criticises you for it.
On paper, your life looks fine. Inside, you feel flat, disconnected, or like something isn’t right.
In relationships, you feel on edge — over analysing, needing reassurance, or waiting for something to go wrong.
Part of you wonders, “Was it really that bad?” and tells you to just get on with it.
You like the idea of therapy — but worry about being overwhelmed or pushed too far, too quickly.
You’re not alone. And this is exactly the kind of work I help with.
Therapy in Glasgow: How It Works
When choosing a therapist in Glasgow, it helps to know what therapy will actually look like — not just what it promises. Rather than open-ended sessions that can feel unclear, we follow a structured 3-phase approach:
How I work with you
Instead of open‑ended, directionless therapy, we follow a clear 3‑phase map, usually over 8–12 sessions:
approach:
Phase 1: Stabilise & Understand (Sessions 1–2)
We identify your patterns, triggers, and responses — helping you understand how your anxiety developed, without overwhelming you.
Phase 2: Process & Shift (Sessions 3–8)
Using trauma-informed approaches, we gently work through what’s keeping you stuck so your reactions begin to change.
Phase 3: Strengthen & Move Forward (Sessions 9–12)
We consolidate progress, build confidence, and prepare you for real-life situations going forward.
Therapy is always tailored to you — structured enough to create change, but flexible enough to feel safe.
Throughout, my caseload is deliberately small so you aren’t one of dozens. You get my full attention, a steady pace, and space to check in regularly about how it feels.
We provide therapy in various forms, online through secure video platforms, and telephone sessions, and use a range of techniques tailored to each client. Private anxiety counselling in Glasgow offers tailored support without long waiting lists, making it a more accessible option for many.
What to Expect in a Session
Your first step is a free consultation. We’ll talk through what’s been overwhelming you and what you’d like to change. From there, we create a clear plan — often starting with an 8–12 session structure so you’re not just talking, but actually moving forward. Sessions are calm, focused, and collaborative — a space where you can make sense of what’s going on without feeling judged or rushed.
You won’t be pushed into anything you’re not ready for. Everything moves at a pace that feels manageable.

Aisling T. Marketing Director
My anxiety was starting to affect my relationship. I wasnt leaving the house often, reacting quickly to meaningless things and suspicious of everything. My partner said I needed therapy. I reached out to Rebecca and she was an amazing support straight away. Taught me everything I needed to help myself get out of that mess. Amazing therapist- I've never met any others like her.
Elaine M. Social Worker
I came to therapy feeling constantly on edge and stuck in anxiety patterns I couldn’t break. I wasn’t sure it would help because I’d tried other approaches before without much change. The sessions felt practical and focused, and we worked directly with the root reactions rather than just talking about them. After a few weeks I noticed my triggers were less intense and I felt more in control day to day. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants structured, effective anxiety and trauma work
Tamara R. Production Manager
I came to therapy because my anxiety was showing up as constant worry, poor sleep, and physical tension most days. I was numbing out after work from the intensity of it. I was unsure if anything would actually change, but the sessions were clear and practical. I learned tools that worked quickly and felt calmer and more in control within weeks.
You're not broken. You're human.
Experiencing Anxiety or Trauma isn’t a flaw — it’s often what happens when your mind and body have had to carry too much for too long.
Through therapy in Glasgow, I help women understand their patterns, feel safer in their bodies, and develop tools that actually work in real life.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel like yourself again.
Working with me means finally having permission to be imperfect, tools that actually work for real life (not just in theory), and someone who gets that healing isn't about becoming a different person - it's about becoming more authentically yourself.
CBT & Evidence-Based Therapy in Glasgow
CBT therapy in Glasgow is one of the most effective approaches for anxiety — but it’s not one-size-fits-all.
That’s why I integrate multiple evidence-based approaches, so therapy works with your mind and body — not just your thoughts.
This may include:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
To help you understand and change unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce anxiety, and respond differently to triggers.
-
Memory Reconsolidation Approaches
To work at a deeper level of the brain, updating emotional memories so that past experiences no longer trigger the same intensity of fear, anxiety, or overwhelm.
-
Exposure Therapy
To gently and gradually reduce fear and avoidance, helping your nervous system learn that you are safe.
-
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
To help you step out of the struggle with your thoughts and focus on what matters to you, even when anxiety is present.
This allows therapy to be both structured and personalised — so it actually fits your life, not the other way around.
Therapy In Glasgow: How It Works
1. Free Consultation
Click this link to schedule a complimentary consultation with me at the day and time that works for you. This will take place as a private, 30 minute phone call. This is a chance for us to discuss what's bringing you to therapy and determine if we're a good fit to work together. There's no pressure - just an opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for my approach.
2. We'll connect
During our consult I'll ask you some questions about what's keeping you stuck. You can ask me questions, get to know more about how I work, and we will each decide if I have the right skillset for you and if we would be a good fit to work together. This initial conversation helps us establish the foundation for our therapeutic relationship - a crucial element for effective therapy.
3. Get to work
If we decide to work together, we’ll usually plan an initial 8‑session Trauma & Anxiety Reset phase over around 2–3 months. Some people complete what they need in that window; others choose to continue into 10–12 sessions or longer. We’ll meet weekly or fortnightly depending on your needs, and regularly check in on how things feel and what’s changing.My goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to eventually navigate life's challenges independently.
