Psychotherapy Sessions in Clarkston Glasgow - In Person and Online
Psychotherapy and EMDR for people who are tired of holding it all together.
Trauma-informed, person-centred therapy in Clarkston, Glasgow and online.
You may look as though you're coping.
Perhaps you're capable, responsible and used to managing things for yourself and for other people.
But underneath, you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, constantly on alert — or simply stuck.
Sometimes you know exactly what is troubling you. Sometimes you just know that something doesn't feel right anymore.
I'm Sheryl Grant, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and EMDR UK practitioner. I offer person-centred psychotherapy and EMDR for adults who want to understand what is happening, feel more settled in themselves and move forward.
About me
I'm Sheryl Grant, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and EMDR UK practitioner with more than a decade of experience working therapeutically with adults.
My professional background includes psychology, education and Person-Centred Therapy, alongside specialist EMDR training and accreditation.
I bring together my experience, training and genuine curiosity about people to offer therapy that is both compassionate and purposeful.
I believe that feeling genuinely heard and accepted can be an important part of healing. I also believe that therapy can be practical — helping you understand what's happening and develop ways of responding that feel more helpful.
My aim is to offer a relationship in which you can feel safe enough to explore, question, understand and change.

How I Work
A space to slow down and feel understood.
Therapy doesn't have to mean sitting down and telling your entire life story straight away.
I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore what's happening for you at your own pace. We can make sense of difficult experiences, understand patterns that may have developed over time and consider what might help you feel differently.
My work is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, alongside EMDR, mindfulness and carefully chosen body-based approaches.
I don't believe there is one way of doing therapy that works for everyone.
We work together to find what feels right for you.

Person-Centred Therapy and
What to Expect in a Session
Person-Centred Therapy and EMDR
EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach for processing distressing experiences and memories. But for me, the relationship in which EMDR takes place matters just as much as the technique itself.
My practice is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy. This means that your experience, your choices and your sense of safety remain central to our work.
Where EMDR is appropriate, I integrate it into that therapeutic relationship rather than expecting you to fit yourself around a rigid process.
You remain an active participant in deciding what we work on, how we work and what feels manageable.
The aim isn't simply to reduce symptoms. It's to help you feel more able to live in the present rather than being pulled back into old patterns, memories or ways of responding.
What you can expect
Starting therapy can feel like a big step.
Our first conversation gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like to be different and whether I am the right therapist for you.
There is no pressure to tell me everything immediately.
We will work at a pace that feels manageable and review things together as we go.
Some people come for one or two focused sessions. Others choose to work together for longer. There is no prescribed number of sess
ions.
I offer a safe space to talk and be truly listened to. I specialise in helping people cope with difficult memories/experiences.
My experience as a school counsellor helps young people feel understood.
During our beginning sessions I will help you to feel as safe and able as you can to share your story with me.
Together we will form a plan of what you would like to address and why.
I also offer the opportunity to work intensively with EMDR. This may involve several longer sessions over one or two weeks. Suitability for this program would be discussed during an initial telephone consultation.
What issues can counselling help with?
You don't have to commit to long-term therapy
Not everyone wants to embark on months of therapy.
Sometimes you need a little space to pause, understand what's happening and find your next step.
Anchor Sessions
Anchor Sessions offer a focused approach to therapy — a single session or short piece of therapeutic work centred around something you would like help with now.
Depending on what you need, this may include person-centred therapy, nervous-system regulation, grounding and, where appre, EMDR.
There is no expectation that you continue beyond the session unless you choose to.
For some people, one session is enough.
For others, it becomes the starting point for further work.
What might bring you to therapy?
You might be:
Feeling overwhelmed despite appearing to cope
Experiencing anxiety, stress or a sense of being constantly “on alert”
Struggling with the effects of a difficult or traumatic experience
Finding that something from the past continues to affect you
Feeling stuck in patterns that you understand intellectually but can't seem to change
Struggling to switch off or properly rest
Feeling disconnected from yourself or from the things you used to enjoy
At a point in life where your usual ways of coping aren't working anymore
You don't need to have a diagnosis to come to therapy.
You simply need to feel that something isn't working and want some help with it.
I have a number of resources available to purchase, beginning with Workbook One.
This workbook takes you on a step by step journey to calmness.
It can be useful to use between sessions, after your sessions have ended but you would like to continue some work on your own.
Or, as a stand alone resource for practicing how to calm your nervous system.
