Choosing the best Anxiety Therapy in Glasgow. Here Are 3 Things You Should Be Aware Of

Choosing the correct anxiety therapy is the same no matter where you live, right?

Actually, choosing the correct anxiety therapy can be a very different experience depending on where you live. Depending on where you live determines the service providers available and the range of therapies can vary greatly.
So, what if you live in Glasgow and want some anxiety therapy. Based in Glasgow, Piece of Mind understands the challenges of dealing with Anxiety (we specialise in anxiety therapy). 

In this post we shall cover the three things you need to know before you choose your anxiety therapy.

1. Understand whats available in your city

No matter where you live, there may be a setback with availability and waiting lists. For example in certain areas right now there is an eight-week waiting time for a consultation.
Tip: speak with your GP as soon as possible and get your name on the waiting list.

2. Your therapist must understand what its like living with anxiety

Unfortunately, a lot of therapists have little or no real-life experience of living with anxiety. Don’t get me wrong they have empathy however, their approach can sometimes but too regimented and they tend to provide a one size fits all solution to anxiety. There a few requirements that the therapist needs to meet for you.

  • Fully understanding your triggers
  • Discovering and dealing with any underlying (ISE) initial sensitising events
  • Provide a structure and plan to your recovery
  • Provide takeaway techniques for you to implement in daily life
  • Have the ability to support you between sessions
  • Sessions need to be regular and consistent

3. Will you be working with the same therapist in each session

A vital element of recovery is consistency. Will you be working with the same therapist in each session? There is nothing more soul-destroying than having to explain your entire situation to a new therapist. Also building rapport with the therapist is key to rapid recovery. If you do not feel comfortable with the therapist or it’s a different therapist each session it will make recovery more challenging.

David

David Gowans

Training & Development

Tagline: He’s seen mental health crisis at its most acute. And he knows what actually helps.

LinkedIn:

David’s background is probably unlike anyone else you’ll meet in a mental health training room.

Twenty-three years on the frontline of emergency services first as a police officer, now as an HCPC-registered practising paramedic. He hasn’t studied stress, trauma and burnout from a distance. He’s carried them, in uniform, responding to people at the absolute worst moments of their lives. He understands the culture that makes asking for help feel like the hardest thing in the world because he’s lived inside that culture.

That frontline experience sits alongside his clinical practice as a qualified hypnotherapist and accredited EFT practitioner. David works with real people navigating real challenges every single week. What he brings to Piece of Mind Training isn’t theoretical. It’s current, grounded and built entirely from the inside out.

As part of the team, David delivers training, practises as a therapist and plays a key role in the development and direction of the organisation making sure that everything Piece of Mind produces is professionally rigorous and genuinely human.

David is responsible for development and ensures that Piece of Mind Training programmes are grounded in real-world application. Not what the textbook says should happen. What actually works when it matters.

Iona

Iona Russell

Growth & Partnerships

Tagline: She’s written the book. Literally.

Iona has spent more than twenty years working at the intersection of human potential and real-world impact — across psychology, coaching, education, broadcasting, the charitable sector and social policy, in both the UK and the USA.

She is a Master Positive Psychology Coach and twice bestselling author who has supported hundreds of people through coaching qualifications and worked alongside some of the most respected names in positive psychology and personal development. As a keynote speaker and leadership advisor, she helps organisations rethink what success and human flourishing actually look like.

But what drives Iona’s commitment to mental health work goes deeper than her professional background. She lost her brother to suicide. That experience — and everything it taught her about the gap between what people are going through and the support available to them — shapes everything she brings to Piece of Mind Training.

At Piece of Mind, Iona leads our partnerships, builds community impact and drives our growth across Scotland and beyond. She brings commercial insight, deep human understanding and a personal reason for being here that no CV can fully capture.

Ann

Ann Stewart

Head of Training

Tagline: The person who makes sure the learning delivers every time.

LinkedIn:

Ann has spent her career helping people make sense of the things that are weighing on them and finding a way forward when everything feels tough.

Her background is genuinely rare. A qualified teacher, certified hypnotherapist, coach and First Aid for Mental Health practitioner, Ann brings together an understanding of how people learn with a deep, practical knowledge of how people struggle. She still works directly with adults and young people every week supporting those experiencing anxiety, low confidence, emotional distress and the kind of quiet difficulties that don’t always have a name but make everyday life feel impossibly hard.

As a trainer, Ann knows that the best mental health training doesn’t just inform people, it changes how they see themselves and the people around them. She brings that belief into every session she delivers, whether she’s working with a room full of HR professionals or a team who’ve never talked about mental health at work before.

As a therapist, trainer, teacher and mum of three, Ann understands that most people are dealing with far more than anyone around them realises. That understanding is the foundation of everything she does.

At Piece of Mind Training, Ann leads on training quality and consistency, making sure that what we promise is what every learner experiences, every time.
