Life in Glasgow
Why people in Glasgow reach out
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.
Glasgow is Scotland's biggest city and its most sociable, a place where strangers talk to you at bus stops and the humour is quick and dark. The grand Victorian centre gives way to the bars and music venues of Finnieston, the tenement flats of Dennistoun and the West End around the university, and the Southside neighbourhoods of Shawlands and Pollokshields. The Clyde that once built the world's ships now runs quiet past the SEC and the old yards of Govan. For all its warmth, the city carries deep hardship in places, and a proud culture of getting on with things. That same pride can make it hard to say out loud when you are struggling, even to the people closest to you.
Where the old industries have gone and there is a strong culture of just getting on with things, online keeps support discreet and within reach however stretched the week.
Glasgow is home to the University of Glasgow and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, one of the largest acute hospital campuses in the UK and Europe.

Wherever you are in Glasgow, the work is the same, a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
The trauma counselling itself
Trauma counselling here is gentle and led by you, drawing on methods designed for trauma including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, so a difficult memory is returned to ordinary recall.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main trauma counselling page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop, no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.
Glasgow has real counselling provision, but demand is high and NHS talking therapy through Greater Glasgow and Clyde can mean a long wait. Getting across a large, busy city to an appointment is not always easy either. Secure video sessions reach any part of Glasgow, from the West End to the Southside, without the journey. I work from Hove in southern England, seeing clients right across Scotland and the UK online.

Trauma Counselling in Glasgow
Why people in Glasgow come for trauma counselling
Glasgow has known its share of hard experiences, and the instinct to stay strong for everyone else can leave old wounds untended. Trauma does not fade just because life carries on; it can show up as a short fuse, broken sleep, or a wariness you cannot quite explain. Working online at a pace you control, I offer a careful, confidential space to face what happened without being pushed or overwhelmed. Sessions come to a private room in your own home by secure video, which for many feels safer than opening up somewhere unfamiliar across the city.

Glasgow questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Glasgow: common questions
Can I get online trauma counselling if I live in Glasgow?
Yes. I work with people right across Glasgow, from the city centre and the West End outwards, and anywhere else in Scotland, by secure video, no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Do I have to describe what happened in detail?
No. Methods like the Human Givens Rewind let us process a memory without you reliving it or even speaking the detail aloud.
Is it safe to do trauma work online?
Yes, when it is paced carefully. We go slowly, keep you grounded, and you stay in control of what we approach and when.
What if I get overwhelmed during a session?
We build in ways to settle and pause, and never move faster than feels safe. Being in your own space online can make that easier.
I have never talked about what happened to me, where would we even start?
We would start slowly, and only with what you feel ready to share. There is no rush to relive anything. Early sessions are often about building trust and steadiness first. Meeting by secure video from your own home in Glasgow can make those first careful steps feel more manageable.
How soon can trauma counselling start online in Glasgow?
We begin with a free 15-minute consultation and usually arrange a first session within a week or two. Trauma work moves at your pace, so there is no pressure, and no local waiting list either. You start from your own space in Glasgow.
How do trauma counselling fees compare with Glasgow services?
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and some charities offer free trauma support, though waits are common. My private fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, with a free 15-minute consultation and no queue before you begin.
Can I do trauma sessions privately by video in Glasgow?
Yes. Many people prefer to process trauma in their own home rather than a clinic across a busy city. Secure video sessions, evenings included, let you work from a quiet room in the West End or Southside, with nothing to travel to afterwards.
Is online counselling as good as seeing someone in person in Glasgow?
For most people, yes. Once a session begins, talking to someone over secure video quickly feels natural, and you get the same steady, confidential hour. It also saves crossing the city, and many people find it easier to speak openly from their own front room.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Hove, on the south coast of England, and work with people all over Scotland and the UK by video. I don't have premises in Glasgow, so our work together would be online rather than face to face in the city.
