EMDR Therapy, Couples Counselling & Trauma Support - South Side of Glasgow
UKCP registered psychotherapist · EMDR specialist for adults, teenagers & young people · Couples counsellor · Clinical supervisor
Are you carrying something that talking to the people closest to you hasn't been able to shift?
Hello, I'm Patricia Lyon, a qualified psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor based on the south side of Glasgow. I have been working in private practice since 2013, and I currently have availability for new clients.
Whether you are struggling with trauma, anxiety, the weight of a difficult past, the breakdown of a relationship, or a persistent sense that something is not right, you have come to the right place. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where your experience is taken seriously and your pace is always respected.
I offer:
- EMDR therapy for adults for trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety and negative beliefs.
- EMDR therapy for teenagers and young people - specialist certified training (13+).
- Couples counselling and relationship therapy - in person and online.
- Individual psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, bereavement and life transitions.
- Clinical supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
My practice is located near Glasgow M77, Junction 3, with free car parking. I also offer online therapy across the UK via Bilateral base for EMDR (incorporated eye movement light bar), Zoom and WhatsApp.
What It Is Like to Work With Me
Clients often tell me that what they value most is simply being heard, without unsolicited advice, without judgement and without being rushed. I take time to understand your history before we begin any therapeutic work. You set the pace. You decide what we explore.
"I physically felt the overwhelm and the weight of life lifting from me. Over the course of several weeks I worked on issues at my pace. Patricia never told me to do anything, preferring to encourage me to find my own solutions. I feel unstuck now."
Start With a Free Initial Conversation - No Obligation
If you are considering therapy, the first step is simply to make contact. I offer a free 30 minute initial telephone or online conversation - no commitment, no obligation. You can ask your questions and get a sense of how I work before you decide anything.

What I Offer
I work with adults, teenagers and couples from my practice on the south side of Glasgow and online across the UK.
My specialist areas are:
- EMDR therapy for trauma, PTSD, anxiety and persistent negative beliefs - for adults and young people aged 13 and over.
- Couples counselling and relationship therapy - in person and online.
- Individual psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, bereavement and life transitions.
- A personalised anxiety programme developed from over a decade of clinical practice - working with the body first, before the thoughts.
- Clinical supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
Every client comes with a different story. My role is not to tell you what to do or how to feel, it is to create the conditions in which you can find your own way forward. Your pace. Your priorities. Your process.
What to expect
Your first contact with me will be a free 30 minutes telephone or online conversation, no commitment, no obligation. You can ask your questions, tell me a little about what has brought you here, and get a sense of how I work before you decide anything.
From there, sessions are shaped around you. I do not follow a rigid script or rush to solutions before I understand the full picture. I take time to listen without judgement, without unsolicited advice, without pushing you somewhere you are not ready to go.
For EMDR, the early sessions focus on preparation and stabilisation before any processing work begins. For couples, the first session involves both partners and gives each person space to be heard. For individual therapy, we begin wherever feels right for you.
Therapy moves at your pace. Always.
