In addition to general practice check-ups and medicals, we also offer a variety of other services at Glasgow Medical Rooms, including counselling services.

Her qualifications include a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters’ Degree in Psychological Medicine. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
What type of counselling can we offer?
Both professionals offer confidential, non-judgemental counselling, and work towards building an empathic relationship where y
Alison adopts a Humanist approach which involves listening very carefully, valuing your experience and using that as the basis of all counselling work. Her counselling service is designed flexibly in an integrated way to suit your needs.
Dr McNeill works primarily within a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework, incorporating elements of related therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Solution Focused therapy and Compassion Focussed therapy (CFT) depending on each client’s individual needs and preferences.
How can counselling help you?
Each person is individual and your experience of counselling will be unique to you. However here are some general outcomes that most clients experience:
- Getting to know yourself in a new way – perhaps by gaining some acceptance of things that have been difficult
- Becoming more self-aware
- Feeling a greater sense of control
- Feeling both more positive and less overwhelmed by negatives
- Being able to make decisions that support you

Anxiety or fear |
