Harsh inner critic voice
Many people who come to therapy tell me they feel stuck —they want things to change, but they’re unsure where to begin.
And this is where therapy really helps.
Therapy offers a safe, steady space where I can help you understand what’s happening, make sense of painful experiences, and find new ways of being that really work for you.
Together, we can focus on what matters most for you, so you can move forward and begin to enjoy your life again.

You can easily book a session through my secure online booking system, and if you’d like to get a feel for the work, you can also read client feedback and testimonials on my services page.

Cognitive therapy and schema therapy
​If you're looking for Glasgow cognitive therapy or Schema Therapy online in the UK, I offer warm, professional support to help you heal emotional patterns that may have been with you for years.

How therapy is offered
Online therapy across Scotland
All therapies are available by video securely online, so you can access support wherever you are in Scotland (and beyond). Many clients find online sessions just as effective as in-person work — with the added benefits of flexibility, comfort, and no travel.

What my clients say
Client testimonial male 60's
Therapy with Gem helped me find myself again. From our first session, Gem identified the issues I was struggling with and gave me a clear plan forward. Over the months, I understood so much more about myself, learned how to manage stress, and gradually felt like myself again. I had always been sceptical about therapy, but the benefits have been amazing.
Client testimonial female 50's
I felt I could finally open up.”
Gem was amazing. I felt an immediate connection with her, which made it easy to talk about things I had hidden inside. She listened without judgment and then offered insights on how I could cope with what I shared.
Client testimonial male 40's
I felt safe and supported.”
Gemini is an excellent professional, and I always felt completely comfortable in our sessions. That sense of ease helped me open up and make real progress.
