Mr Jamie Dempsey

Psychotherapist (Registered)

Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies BABCP

About Me

I offer a grounded, collaborative space where we can explore the challenges you face. As a psychotherapist, I guide you in understanding thought patterns that might be holding you back. We’ll develop practical, evidence-based strategies together. This approach is ideal if you seek clear steps to manage anxiety, low mood, or stress. You can build lasting resilience and find a way forward.

Approach

Accreditation with the BABCP informs a structured, goal-focused way of working that breaks problems into manageable steps and tests what helps in real life. Sessions in my Barrhead clinic or online, in English, move at a steady, collaborative pace: we set clear agendas, try short experiments in session, and agree simple between-session tasks that fit your day-to-day. I bring gentle challenge alongside mindfulness and careful assessment when recovery is stalled, helping you notice what shifts. This suits adults seeking practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage urges, or steady mood.
