Embarking on a brand new career as a CBT therapist.In 2002 the Centre of Therapy acquired premises on Sauchiehall Street and from there continued the training of more than 100 cognitive behavioural therapists.
From these graduates, was formed a group of BABCP accredited psychotherapists and qualified therapists, who as members of the Centre are able to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to those with mild to moderate mental health difficulties who ask for their help.

Are you looking for something a bit different to regular 'therapy'?
I'm Sarah. I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist, Relationship Expert, Transformational Coach and Nia (therapeutic dance) teacher. I have worked in the field of psychology since 2005.
I do things a bit differently now. I have created a magical method of working with and helping people. I work as a transformational coach also drawing on my many skills as a psychologist as well.
I have found that group work is so powerful. I love offering help in a way that feels engaging and fun as well as healing. Groups can trigger people, but they can also be the very place that people can heal in profound ways.
I offer online courses (I did this even before covid times!). They take place within a private Facebook Group and on Zoom.

Sometimes life can really feel like a challenge, and we all can find ourselves thinking, we have no one whom we can turn to in our own lives.
Things can happen to us, or we can make decisions that we feel people judge us on, and our way of coping with these situations, can result in us wanting to retreat from everyday life.
If you feel your quality of life has deteriorated; if you are easily overwhelmed and finding it hard to cope; if you need to feel heard and accepted, maybe you need to talk to someone who can listen, and not be shocked by your story.
As a counsellor, this is and has been my role with my clients, for many years - To hear, accept and not judge you, to travel alongside you, at a difficult time, holding what you share with me when we meet, whilst knowing I am not involved in any other part of your life.
If something has led you here and you know for sure you want to feel better, it could be you are thinking of reaching out and aski…
My name is James McCluskey and I provide professional services based on Integrated Psychotherapeutic Counselling and also Hypnotherapy.
I am based just outside Kirkcaldy in a peaceful and private rural location.
I work on a one-to-one basis, using a collaborative, empathetic and non-judgmental style.
This helps clients identify what they really want from therapy and then I assist and empower them in exploring how they might achieve it.
The Integrative approach draws on several different styles and methods rather than one approach fits all. This means that I can personalise therapy to be tailored to the Client’s specific situation, using varied approaches drawing on Psychodynamics, person-centred, CBT, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and other Humanistic Approaches, as well as Jungian Psychoanalysis and Motivational Approaches.
These approaches are often successful in dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, self-defeating beha…
