Benefits of In-Person Therapy
Non-Verbal Communication
Posture, eye contact, and even silence can express what words can't. These subtle cues help deepen mutual understanding and guide the therapeutic process.
Therapeutic Presence & Connection
Sitting together in the same space can offer a deeper sense of comfort, security, and being truly seen.
A Dedicated, Neutral Environment
The therapy room becomes your own private space — away from distractions, responsibilities, and the outside world.
Consistent, Contained Support
Regular sessions in-person can provide a steady, grounding rhythm for deeper emotional work and trauma processing.
If this sounds like the kind of space you're looking for, you're welcome to contact me.

Might Not Be For You
While in-person therapy can be beneficial for many people, it isn't always the right option for everyone. Here are a few reasons why it may not suit your needs:
Feeling exposed or uncomfortable
Some people find face-to-face interaction intense or anxiety-provoking, especially at the beginning. If you feel more able to open up in a less direct format, online sessions might be a better starting point.
Practical or accessibility challenges
Travelling to and from sessions requires time and effort. For those with tight schedules, mobility limitations, or other accessibility needs, this can be a barrier.
Preference for flexibility
In-person sessions happen at a set time and place. If you need greater flexibility or want the option to attend from home, online therapy offers an alternative that can work just as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Face-to-Face Therapy
If you're thinking about coming to therapy in person, it's natural to have questions—about where sessions happen, what the space is like, or how things will feel.
I've answered some common ones here, but if there's anything else you're wondering, feel free to get in touch.
Sessions take place at my private counselling office in Central Glasgow (G2), located in a professional office building in the city centre. The space is quiet, comfortable, and designed to provide a confidential setting for therapy. Full address details can be found on the Contact page, and I'll also send practical information once your appointment is confirmed.
The office is located on the third floor of a professional office building in Central Glasgow (G2), close to public transport.
There is lift access and the building can accommodate wheelchair users during normal business hours. Because of the building layout, lift access for wheelchair users needs to be arranged in advance so that building staff can assist.
Once on the third floor, the office is a short distance from the lift and there are no further steps. Stairs are also available for those who prefer not to use the lift.
If you have any accessibility concerns, please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss arrangements — including online sessions.
