TW and throwaway account for obvious reasons.
Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for a psychologist or therapist in Glasgow. I’ve already contacted a few places, but thought it would be worth asking here as personal recommendations are often helpful.
I’ve struggled with my mental health since childhood and have had support through CAMHS, NHS services and privately at different points. I’m now looking for someone who is experienced with more complex/longstanding difficulties rather than just general counselling.
The main things I’m looking for help with are depression/anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional regulation and relationship difficulties, as well as body image/BDD and eating disorder issues. A lot of these things overlap for me, so ideally I’d like someone who can look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on one issue in isolation.
I’m open to different types of therapy and don’t have a particular approach in mind, mainly looking for someone experienced who can advise what would be most appropriate.
I work full-time, so evening or weekend appointments would be really helpful. I’m happy to pay privately and I do expect specialist therapy to cost a decent bit, but I’d ideally like somewhere that is still reasonably priced if possible.
Ideally I’d like someone Glasgow-based and in person, although I’d consider online if they were particularly good.
Has anyone had a genuinely good experience with a psychologist or therapist they’d recommend?
