Psychotherapist / Glasgow

About Me

I’m Paul, an accredited psychotherapist based in Glasgow city centre.

Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or have reached a point where things don’t feel quite right, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward. If you reach out, you’ll be met with warmth, acceptance and genuine curiosity about what’s brought you here. I’ve worked with people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. More than anything, this work has consistently reinforced the importance of understanding the person, not just the problem. That’s why I see therapy as something we build together, not something I apply to you.

…About Me

My approach is grounded in humanistic therapy and informed by an integrative way of working, drawing on other therapeutic models when they best support your needs. Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship we build together is the foundation of lasting change. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.

I’m available to see clients in person at my independent practice in Blythswood Square, a comfortable, welcoming and private setting for therapy. You can also arrange a free telephone or in person consultation, where we will have a relaxed conversation about what’s on your mind, your goals for therapy, and consider together whether I’m the right fit for you.

My Practice

I aim to create a therapeutic space that is responsive to your needs. There are various seating options and you’re welcome to move around the room. Art materials are available for visual expression. We may also use music as a focus for reflection and discussion, or incorporate mindfulness exercises or guided meditation. This is your time, and we’ll work together in a way that feels attuned to you.

Treatment Approach

I offer space to explore your experiences and perspectives, drawing on psychodynamic, existential and mindfulness-based approaches where helpful.
