Change ispossible

I'm Georgia. I help people make sense of the patterns that keep them stuck. Then, together, we figure out how you can take small, supported steps towards changing.

Georgia Stride, CBT therapist in Glasgow
a bit about my practice

A supportive space to explore and try new ideas.

I practise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps us understand the relationship between our thoughts. I believe real, sustainable change is possible, and that practising new ways of thinking and acting can loosen even long-held beliefs.

Our work is collaborative and led by you. My role is to find the balance between supporting and challenging you, and together we figure out how you make changes.

how does it work?

With small, supported steps.

01
We make sense of the pattern

Through curiosity rather than judgement, we'll explore what's going on for you together. We want to understand what you think, what you do, and how the two are connected.

02
We build a plan together

This is for what happens in the sessions and work that you do in between them. This work is designed by us, and tasks will have a purpose relating to the goals you set.

03
You practise to create change

Repetition of new actions and thoughts is what can loosen a long-held belief.

Anxiety, low mood and burnout

I've worked with people experiencing low mood, anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem and burnout. People have all sorts of reasons for wanting to start therapy and how I work with each person is different.

Red and blonde sandstone built Glasgow. It's natural, it forms slowly under pressure, and it's durable and resilient.

Some questions you might be wondering about

What if I cry?

Then you cry. This work can be provoking and some people cry in sessions, some people don't. Either is OK.

How much do sessions cost?

Sessions are £65.

How long do sessions last?

Sessions are 50 minutes.

What if I've nothing to say?

Silence between us is OK, and can be important to this kind of work.

How long does it take?

Often 8–16 sessions, but we review as we go and it depends on the nature of your problem.

Is there homework?

Sort of. A crucial part of CBT is that you have work to do between sessions. But we design it together, and it's never something you dread.

Will you tell me what to do?

No. I'll be honest with you and I'll challenge you, but I won't give advice.
