Glasgow-based therapist working online with adults worldwide
Online therapy for anxiety, trauma, and long-standing patterns
For people who are managing on the outside but feel stuck underneath.
For more ease inside.
Does this sound like you?
You are someone who thinks things through.
You cope.
You keep going.
You’ve tried to understand yourself.
And yet something still feels unresolved.
When you're stressed or overwhelmed, the same reactions show up again.
This isn’t random.
It reflects a deeper emotional pattern that was shaped earlier in life and is still active now.
Once you can see that pattern clearly, things start to make sense and change becomes possible.
How therapy can help you
Therapy helps you see what’s happening beneath the surface. That clarity often brings more freedom, energy, and peace.
Therapy can help you gain:
-
A clear understanding of your inner world and long-standing emotional patterns
-
A growing sense of energy as the mental load begins to lift
-
Freedom from constant rumination and self-doubt
-
Greater ease in making choices and trusting yourself
-
A steadier sense of peace within yourself and your life
I’m Gem Thomson, a professionally trained, BABCP-accredited psychotherapist.
I specialise in Emotional Patterns and Schema Therapy, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR for trauma.
I work in person in Glasgow or online with adults anywhere in the world.
I help people who are anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in repeating emotional or relationship patterns. Together, we can explore how unconscious patterns and life experiences shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships — and find new ways forward.

Who I help
I work with adults who may be experiencing one or more of the following:
-
Anxiety, panic, or a persistent sense of being on edge
-
Physical symptoms of anxiety such as a racing heart, tight chest, dizziness, or restlessness
-
Low mood, emotional flatness, or a sense of emptiness
-
Burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling overwhelmed by responsibility
-
The effects of past trauma or difficult childhood experiences (including PTSD)
-
Repeating relationship patterns that lead to anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt
-
Feeling disconnected from themselves, or unsure who they are anymore
-
A critical inner voice or sense of not being good enough
If any of these feel familiar, I can help.
When insight, effort, or past therapy hasn’t been enough
Many of the people I work with arrive at a point where something in their emotional or relational life isn’t shifting, despite a lot of effort.
Some have spent years thinking about things, reading psychology, or trying to understand themselves. Others have had therapy before and found parts of it helpful, yet still feel that something important remained unresolved. For many, there’s a familiar sense of being stuck — even though they are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware.
Often, these patterns sit below conscious understanding. They’re shaped by early emotional learning, nervous system responses, and ways of relating that developed quietly over time.
In our work, we slow things down and pay careful attention to what’s happening inside you, and to what happens between us as we begin to understand your experience more fully. This allows deeper patterns to come into view, and creates the conditions for meaningful, lasting change — not just short-term coping.

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.
