Intrusive memories
Support for flashbacks, nightmares and re-experiencing.
Online Trauma Counselling · Glasgow
Online trauma counselling for Glasgow, by secure video, wherever you are. For many people in Glasgow, online sessions are not a compromise but the thing that finally makes therapy possible: flexible, private and fitted around your life.
From the heart of Glasgow, near the Clyde, the galleries and the music scene, out to its edges, from the city centre and the West End to the Southside, Dennistoun and Govan, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Glasgow, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Scotland, including Paisley, East Kilbride, Falkirk.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Glasgow online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, famous for its warmth, art and humour, and shaped by the long aftermath of heavy industry's decline. Real and persistent deprivation, insecure work and deep health inequalities sit beneath the city's energy, and the culture of coping can make reaching out hard.
Student and academic life can be intense and surprisingly lonely, even surrounded by people your own age. Working online keeps support steady through term and vacation alike, wherever you are.
What I help with
Support for flashbacks, nightmares and re-experiencing.
Help when your nervous system is stuck on high alert.
For when you cope by shutting down.
Healing the wound that drives the habit.
Reaching the quieter, accumulated hurts.
Working always at a pace that is led by you.
Why online works in Glasgow
In a place as busy as Glasgow, a confidential hour from your own space means no chance of being seen coming or going.
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Glasgow, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. I am integratively trained and draw on approaches designed specifically for trauma, including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, a calm, non-intrusive method that returns a memory to ordinary recall. You do not have to relive the detail or even speak it aloud for this to work.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationMy online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Glasgow, your GP can refer you to NHS psychological therapies, and you can find trusted self-help through NHS inform. You can find support through NHS inform; for confidential listening support, Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 24 on 111 for urgent mental health support. Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
