Why Choose a Glasgow Therapist Who Specialises in Anxiety?
Do you feel like anxiety controls your life? Whether it’s panic attacks, social fears, constant health worries, or intrusive thoughts, anxiety can feel overwhelming. As a specialist Glasgow therapist, I provide evidence-based anxiety therapy and counselling in Glasgow to help you find relief and regain balance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most recommended treatments for anxiety in Glasgow, offering structured and effective strategies to address your concerns.
Perhaps you wake up with that familiar knot in your stomach. Your heart races for no reason. This racing heart and increased heart rate are common physical symptoms of anxiety. You’ve cancelled plans again because the thought of leaving the house feels impossible. Maybe you’re googling symptoms at 3am, convinced something’s seriously wrong. Or you’re sitting in your car outside work, trying to calm down enough to walk in.
You’ve tried to “just relax” or “think positive,” but anxiety has its grip on every part of your life. Relationships are strained. Work feels overwhelming. Even simple tasks feel like mountains to climb. Anxiety can deeply affect your emotions, self esteem, and may lead to low mood or low self esteem. Many clients find that standard CBT alone is not enough, so I also offer a variety of highly effective and proven therapy combinations to help you cope with anxiety and related difficulties. Therapists in Glasgow may use a combination of CBT, mindfulness, and person-centred approaches in anxiety counselling to provide a comprehensive and personalised treatment plan.
Talking therapy provides a confidential space to talk openly about your emotions, psychological symptoms, and physical symptoms—no previous experience with therapy is required. Anxiety counsellors in Glasgow have extensive training in psychology and can help with a range of issues including trauma, grief, eating disorders, binge eating, self harm, and stress. Anxiety can be triggered by many situations, such as a job interview or social situations, which can lead to both physical and psychological symptoms.

Co-Occurring Conditions and Anxiety
Anxiety often doesn’t come alone. Many people who seek anxiety counselling in Glasgow find that their symptoms overlap with other mental health challenges, such as depression, health anxiety, or social anxiety. It’s common for generalised anxiety, panic attacks, and related issues to co-occur, making daily life feel even more overwhelming.
That’s why it’s so important to work with health professionals who understand the complexities of these conditions. In Glasgow, anxiety counselling services are designed to address not just anxiety itself, but also the broader mental health picture. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps clients manage anxiety alongside other co-occurring conditions. Whether you’re struggling with health anxiety, social anxiety, or persistent worry, CBT and other types of therapy can provide practical tools to break the cycle of anxious thoughts and behaviours.
By choosing a therapist who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy and has experience with co-occurring mental health issues, you’ll receive a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This integrated approach ensures that all aspects of your well-being are supported, helping you to manage anxiety and related issues more effectively. With the right therapy and support, it’s possible to regain control, improve your mental health, and move forward with greater confidence.
