If you’re living with anxiety, you probably already know how exhausting it can feel. The constant worry, racing thoughts, and tension can make even simple things feel like too much. You’re not alone; around 8 million people in the UK experience anxiety every year, but help and healing are absolutely possible.
At The Talking Rooms, we offer therapy for anxiety in Glasgow that helps you figure out what’s happening inside your mind and body and gives you the tools to regain control.
We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other psychological therapies to help you explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect. Together, we’ll work to bring calm, confidence, and a sense of balance back to your daily life.
Therapy isn’t about being told what’s wrong with you; it’s about being seen, heard, and supported as you find ways to manage anxiety in a way that feels right for you.
How Anxiety Therapy at The Talking Rooms Works
We know how difficult it can be to reach out to an anxiety therapist in Glasgow for help. That’s why our process is simple, accessible, and supportive from the very first step.
You’ll start with a free 15-minute phone consultation with one of our qualified therapists. This gentle, no-pressure chat helps us learn more about what’s been happening for you and gives you a feel for how we work.
From there, we’ll invite you to your first session, a 50-minute assessment where you can talk through your symptoms, your goals, and what you’d like to change. Together, we’ll create an individual plan that feels manageable and realistic.
Your therapy may include:
- Appointments within 5 days of referral, so you don’t have to wait months for help
- Online or in-person sessions in Glasgow or East Kilbride
- Flexible times, including evenings
- Therapists belong to professional governing bodies such as BABCP, BACP, or COSCA
Every anxiety therapist on our team has received professional CBT training and continues to develop their skills through supervision and ongoing learning. You’ll always be supported by someone who truly cares about your well being and understands what anxiety feels like.
We’ll help you connect your thinking, your feelings, and your responses to the world around you. The aim isn’t perfection; it’s progress. You’ll begin to notice that situations or feelings, which once felt impossible, start to feel a little easier to cope with.

Understanding Different Types of Anxiety
Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. Our therapists in Glasgow help you recognise your unique patterns and find practical ways to change them.
Social Anxiety
Social situations can trigger self-doubt or overthinking. If you find yourself replaying conversations in your head or worrying about how others see you, we understand how isolating social anxiety can be.
Therapy helps you face social situations at your own pace, challenge self-critical thoughts, and build lasting self-belief.
Health Anxiety
When every new ache or sensation sparks worry, health anxiety can take over your peace of mind. Using cognitive behavioural therapy, we’ll help you break the cycle of reassurance-seeking, learn how to interpret your body’s signals more calmly, and regain trust in your body.
Generalised Anxiety
With generalised anxiety, worries can multiply until it feels like there’s no space left in your head. Together we’ll use gentle CBT techniques to quiet racing thoughts, manage stress, and rebuild a sense of stability in your daily life.
Panic Attacks
We know how frightening panic attacks can be, with the racing heart and sudden fear that something terrible is happening. Therapy teaches you how to spot the early signs, breathe through the moment, and rebuild confidence so panic no longer controls your life.
Our sessions also support related issues like poor sleep, exhaustion, or emotional overwhelm that often come alongside anxiety.

Our Approach to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for social anxiety and is recommended by both the NHS and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Research shows that 60-80% of people who complete cognitive behavioural therapy experience lasting improvement.
In your sessions, you and your therapist will:
- Identify destructive thought patterns that increase worry
- Understand how intrusive thoughts affect emotions and behaviours
- Replace rumination with balanced, realistic perspectives
- Practise coping techniques you can use in real-world situations
We may use simple exercises, guided meditation or reflection, or a personal workbook to assist you in applying what you learn between sessions. These tools help you build acceptance within yourself and the world around you.
Our approach is always personal and based on modern psychology. We go at your pace, adjusting as you grow in confidence. Every breakthrough, no matter how small, is an opportunity for healing.

Anxiety Counselling and Support
Several clients come to us after months of trying to manage on their own, describing difficulties that affect every part of their world, affecting sleep, relationships, focus, and physical health. Anxiety counselling in Glasgow offers you a place to breathe again.
Through counselling for anxiety, we create a space to talk about what’s been happening beyond what you can sense or feel. Our sessions are confidential, kind, and supportive, giving you time to understand your triggers.
Whether you prefer structured CBT or gentle counselling sessions for anxiety, you’ll always be met with compassion and expertise.
Benefits of Anxiety Therapy
When you start anxiety therapy, change begins in small ways: sleeping better, feeling lighter, or having the energy to connect again. With consistent sessions, clients experience:
- Fewer physical symptoms, such as restlessness or muscle tension
- Better concentration and energy at work
- Healthier relationships that are built on communication and self-awareness
- More confidence when interacting with people in social situations
- A renewed sense of control in previously overwhelming situations
Studies show that CBT and anxiety treatment can lessen anxiety levels by up to 70% when supported by regular practice and therapist guidance. We’ll walk with you as you learn to cope differently and start to feel like yourself again.
You don’t have to face fear and stress alone. Our team provides caring, confidential anxiety counselling designed to help you feel ready to move forward.
FAQs About CBT for Mental Health
If you’d like to learn more about our counselling sessions, here are some of the questions people often ask before starting therapy.
Yes. Numerous studies and NHS findings show that online CBT can be just as effective as face-to-face sessions for treating social anxiety.
It’s important, however, to have regular contact with a certified therapist. Online therapy lets you access support wherever you feel relaxed, making it easier to schedule sessions that fit your routine.
While there’s no single “cure” for anxiety, many people find long-term relief through natural approaches, such as CBT, relaxation training, mindfulness and nutrition. It’s also important to practise good sleep hygiene, like putting your phone away for 30 minutes before you sleep, as well as a healthy diet.
These techniques work by calming the body’s stress response and retraining thought patterns, such as catastrophising or overgeneralisation, in stressful situations. CBT helps people get lasting results without relying on medication.
Your first session is about getting to know you. We’ll listen to what’s been going on, explore your symptoms, and agree on a healing plan that feels attainable. We will take your lead and guide you every step of the way.
Yes. What you share in therapy is private and stays between you and your CBT therapist. The only time we might have to share information is if there’s a serious concern for your safety or someone else’s, and this would always be discussed with you first.
All our therapists follow the ethical guidelines of BABCP, BACP, and COSCA, ensuring your sessions are handled with care and professionalism. Confidentiality helps you feel safe to open up, and that safety is where real healing begins.
