In my role providing Dr Brougham with clinical supervision, I’ve learnt that she has enormous experience of working with people with a wide range of types of neuro-divergence, including autism and intellectual disabilities. Also, Dr Brougham is very compassionate and always practises in a neuro-affirmative manner. In short, she leaves no stone unturned to ensure that her clients receive the best service possible.

OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Mental Health Services at The Dawn Practice in Newton Mearns

We offer support through psychological talking therapies that aim to bring hope and positive change to mental and emotional wellbeing. We also offer speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, neurodevelopmental support, and specialist prescribing at other clinic locations.

Psychological (talking) therapies

Psychological therapies, or talking therapies, involve speaking to a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist within an evidence-based framework. Talking therapies can give you breathing space to process low mood and self-esteem issues, while helping you find ways of coping.

Some modalities offered at The Dawn Practice include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, 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 physical side effects, and monitor your progress with regular medication reviews.

Neurodevelopmental assessments

Our neurodiversity assessments are for anyone who believes they may be neurodivergent and would like to better understand the way that their brain works.

We offer gold-standard assessments for ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, and other learning disabilities or differences. We can also provide combined neurodevelopmental assessments for those presenting with multiple neurodivergent characteristics.

We can facilitate these services at our Newton Mearns clinic if you require wheelchair accessibility.

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.
