Private Therapy at Glasgow Cognitive Therapy Centre

Professional, Evidence-Based Therapy — Based in Glasgow, Accessible Across Scotland
Complete Form

At the Glasgow Cognitive Therapy Centre, we provide high-quality Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for individuals and couples.

Founded in Glasgow, GCTC continues to offer in-person appointments from our city-centre premises. We are also accessible across Scotland through secure online therapy sessions, allowing you to access professional, structured CBT support wherever you are based.

Whether you prefer face-to-face sessions in Glasgow or the flexibility of remote appointments from your own home, you will receive the same high standard of evidence-based care.

You can self-refer directly, and in most cases we are able to offer your first session date within a few days.

As both a clinical service and an established training organisation, we operate a tiered therapy model — offering accessible options.

Our Therapy Options

Accredited or Experienced CBT Therapist

£70 per 50-minute session

Work with a fully qualified, experienced or accredited CBT practitioner with extensive clinical experience.

Trainee CBT Therapist (DipCBT Programme)

£25 per 50-minute session

Our trainee therapists are currently completing their Diploma in CBT and are working towards full qualification.

All trainee therapists:

  • Have completed a core counselling qualification

  • Have demonstrated competency in CBT skills

  • Receive regular, structured clinical supervision

  • Work within strict ethical and professional frameworks

Working with a trainee therapist means benefiting from the best of both worlds: fresh, up-to-date knowledge combined with close professional supervision with an experienced therapist. Your care is carefully considered, reflective, and aligned with current best practice — delivered with professionalism, focus and genuine commitment.

Couples Therapy

We also offer couples therapy.
Pricing is available on enquiry. Please contact us directly to discuss your needs.

Boundaries and Expectations

It is important that you feel safe and supported during therapy, and that your confidentiality is respected at all times.

We will:

  • Maintain strict confidentiality in line with professional and GDPR standards

  • Work collaboratively to set realistic therapeutic goals

  • Evaluate progress on a session-by-session basis

CBT is an active approach. As part of the therapeutic process, you may be invited to engage in agreed tasks between sessions to help you practise and consolidate new skills. 

What Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Offers

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach proven to be effective in helping people overcome problems and manage challenging situations in the present.

CBT works particularly well with:

  • Low mood

  • Anxiety

  • Stress

  • Reduced self-esteem

  • Unhelpful thinking patterns

It helps you understand the links between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours so that you can respond to difficulties in a more balanced and constructive way. 

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first 50-minute appointment will involve an assessment of your circumstances to establish whether CBT would be a useful and appropriate approach for you.

This session allows us to:

  • Understand your current difficulties

  • Clarify what you would like help with

  • Explore whether CBT is the right approach for you

  • Agree realistic and meaningful therapy goals

Thereafter, you and your therapist will mutually agree how to progress your therapy sessions.

Therapy at GCTC is collaborative, structured and focused on meaningful change. 

How Many Sessions Will I Have?

CBT is generally a short- to medium-term therapy.

Most people attend between 5 and 20 sessions, depending on:

  • The nature of the difficulty

  • How long it has been present

  • Your therapeutic goals

  • Your pace of change

Progress is reviewed regularly to ensure therapy remains purposeful and effective.
