I would highly recommend The Dawn Practice to anyone struggling with their mental health. The care I’ve received has been incredibly compassionate and supportive. Investing in my mental health through this practice has truly paid dividends. I feel more grounded and better equipped to navigate challenges. I also encouraged my partner to attend, and they now go to the Bearsden location. We’ve both had such positive experiences. Receiving such quality care has made a meaningful difference to our wellbeing, both individually and together.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Talking Therapy Glasgow Services at The Dawn Practice in Bearsden

All our clinicians are highly experienced in providing psychological therapies that aim to bring positive changes to mental and emotional wellbeing. We also offer speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, neurodevelopmental support, and specialist prescribing at our Glasgow city centre locations.

Psychological (talking) therapies

Psychological talking therapies involve talking through your difficulties within an evidence-based framework, while being supported by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist. There are many different kinds of talking therapies that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Some examples offered at The Dawn Practice include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR).

Psychiatry and specialist nurse prescribing

Our psychiatry and specialist nurse prescribing provides expert medication management for mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, as well as medication support for neurodivergent profiles like ADHD.

Our consultant psychiatrists and prescribing nurses work collaboratively with you to find the right treatment approach. We take time to discuss potential benefits and side effects, and monitor your progress with medication reviews

Neurodevelopmental assessments

Our neurodiversity assessments (available at Glasgow city centre and Ayr clinics) are for anyone who believes they may be neurodivergent and would like to better understand the way that their brain works.

We offer thorough, evidence-based assessments for ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, and other learning disabilities or differences. We also offer combined neurodevelopmental assessments for those presenting with multiple neurodivergent characteristics.

Speech and language therapy (SLT)

Our speech and language therapists can help you or your child with motor skills related to the mouth and throat, including swallowing, communication, and language development. We can also support with speech clarity, understanding and using language, stuttering, or navigating conversations and social cues in conjunction with neurodivergence.

Occupational therapy (OT)

Our occupational therapists help individuals develop practical skills and adjustments for daily living, whether managing self-care routines, improving coordination and motor skills, or adapting their environment to better suit the way they function. We support people with a range of needs, including those related to neurodivergence and sensory processing.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is the difference between counselling and psychological therapies?

Psychologists registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) are highly trained mental healthcare professionals. Unlike counsellors, who focus mainly on talking therapy and supportive listening, HCPC-registered psychologists complete doctoral-level training and are legally regulated to provide specialist assessments, diagnoses, and evidence-based treatments.

This means they can work with complex difficulties across the lifespan, offering a deeper level of expertise and accountability to ensure the highest standards of care.

Do you offer online counselling?

No, we only offer fully in-person, evidence-based psychological talking therapies, led by experienced clinicians. This allows us to work with complex difficulties across the lifespan, offering a deeper level of expertise and accountability to ensure the highest standards of care.

Are The Dawn Practice clinics disability accessible?

Our Newton Mearns clinic is wheelchair accessible, and we can also provide at-home occupational therapy sessions if appropriate. Please call us or contact us on our website for accessibility information about our other clinics.

Do I need a GP referral to access psychological services?

Though we do often work alongside NHS services, no GP referral is required for our psychological services. You can self-refer or be referred by family members, schools, or other professionals.
