The 10 best psychologists in Glasgow

Structured therapy for anxiety, panic and overthinking is the main Glasgow service at Mullins Therapy, alongside couples and relationship therapy and work on trauma and confidence. Anxiety HIT Treatment uses practical methods drawn from psychology and hypnotherapy, with the aim of working on the pattern behind the feeling. The programme runs as four or six 45-minute sessions, so clients know its shape before starting. Couples therapy also uses 45-minute sessions, with the number agreed during consultation. Every client begins with a free 30-minute consultation, where the team discusses what the work involves and agrees pricing before commitment. Anxiety HIT Treatment is our structured programme for people seeking focused support rather than open-ended sessions.
