At my Glasgow-based practice, I offer evidence-based and compassionate psychotherapy services designed to help you heal and thrive. I provide personalised support for a range of trauma-related mental health issues, including:

Anxiety

Trauma can trigger various anxiety disorders, such as generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. I offer specialised techniques to help you manage and alleviate anxiety symptoms.

Attachment Issues

Early childhood adversity can disrupt attachment patterns, leading to difficulties in relationships. I work with you to develop healthier relationships and improve interpersonal skills.

Behavioural Issues

Trauma can lead to various behavioural problems, including aggression, self-harm, and risky behaviours. I aim to understand and change these behaviours to promote safety and well-being.

Chronic Pain and Somatic Symptoms

Trauma can manifest as physical symptoms and chronic pain. I'll address the psychological components of these physical issues, helping you achieve a better mind-body connection and relief from somatic symptoms.

Depression

Depression is a common consequence of trauma. I help you address the underlying causes and improve your mood, functioning, and overall quality of life.

Dissociation

Trauma can cause dissociative symptoms, such as feeling detached from oneself or reality. I focus on integrating these experiences to reduce dissociative episodes and enhance your sense of self.

Emotional Regulation

Trauma often impacts your ability to regulate emotions. I provide tools and strategies to help you gain better control over your emotional responses and expressions.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Experiencing a traumatic event can lead to PTSD, characterised by flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and intrusive memories. I help you manage and reduce these symptoms, so you can heal and recover.

Self-Esteem

Trauma can negatively affect self-esteem and identity. I will support you in rebuilding a positive self-image and develop a cohesive sense of self.

Substance Abuse

Many individuals turn to substance use to cope with trauma. I address the root causes of substance abuse and support your journey towards recovery and healthier coping mechanisms.

My goal is to support you on your healing journey, providing a safe and compassionate space to address and overcome these challenges. Whether through face-to-face therapy, online sessions, or Walk-and-Talk Therapy, I am here to help you find your path to recovery.
