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, at 70 West Regent Street, G2 2QZ. The office is on the lower ground level of a professional office building and provides a quiet, comfortable and confidential space for therapy.
The office is well located for public transport — approximately a 5-6 minute walk from Glasgow Central Station and around a 9-10 minute walk from Glasgow Queen Street Station.
Unfortunately, the office is not wheelchair accessible, as access from street level to the lower ground level is via external steps. Once you reach the lower ground level entrance, there are no internal stairs to access the waiting area or counselling room. After entering the building, you walk forward, turn left, and the waiting area is nearby. My office is just by the waiting area.
The office is approximately a 5-6 minute walk from Glasgow Central Station and around a 9-10 minute walk from Glasgow Queen Street Station.
If you have any concerns about access or mobility, please get in touch before booking. I'm happy to discuss your needs and, where appropriate, offer online therapy as an alternative.
Sessions take place in a private counselling room on the lower ground level of a professional office building in Central Glasgow. The room is quiet, comfortable and designed to provide a confidential space where you can speak freely.
There is a waiting area near the office, so you're welcome to wait there if you arrive slightly early.
It's completely normal to feel nervous about coming in person — especially if this is your first time in therapy. You don't need to have everything figured out, and there's no pressure to say anything before you're ready. We'll take things at your pace. If coming to the office feels like too much right now, online sessions are always available — there are options that can work for you.
