About Patricia Lyon - Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist & Clinical Supervisor, Glasgow

Call us now!

EMDR therapist, couples counsellor and clinical supervisor - practising on the south side of Glasgow since 2013.

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor. I have been working in private practice on the south side of Glasgow since 2013, and in the counselling field for longer than that.

Over more than a decade of clinical work, I have developed a deep specialism in EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety, for both adults and, increasingly, teenagers and young people. I hold specialist EMDR certification for work with children and adolescents, an additional qualification required by EMDR UK before a clinician can deliver this therapy to young people under 14.

I also work extensively with couples, supporting partners through communication breakdown, the aftermath of an affair, different parenting styles, and the challenge of building a relationship that continues to grow.

My Approach



My approach is integrative and client-centred. I draw on psychotherapy, transactional analysis, EMDR and somatic awareness. I follow the EMDR evidence based protocol when working with trauma whilst retaining a client centred approach to put your needs at the centre of our work. What that means in practice:

  • I take time at the start of our work to understand your full history. I do not rush to solutions before I understand the landscape.
  • I explain every intervention before we begin, you always know what to expect and why.
  • I actively invite you to tell me if anything I say feels wrong or uncomfortable. Your feedback shapes how we work.
  • Therapy moves entirely at your pace. I will never push you somewhere you are not ready to go.
