Mr Michael Woods

Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

“As a CBT counselor, I provide a structured, supportive space to help clients reframe negative thoughts and build coping skills. Using evidence-based techniques, I empower individuals to manage anxiety, depression, and stress while fostering resilience and self-growth. I value human connection and trust.”

About Me

I offer a structured, supportive space to explore challenging thoughts. As a CBT counsellor, I help clients reframe negative patterns and build practical coping skills. This evidence-based approach fosters resilience, guiding you to manage anxiety, depression, or stress. My aim is to create a trusting connection. Clients seeking clear strategies and a collaborative process will find a good fit here.

Approach

Sessions feel practical and focused, moving from exploring a current difficulty to setting small, manageable experiments to try between meetings. In my Glasgow consulting room I work in English at a steady, collaborative pace that balances short-term skills with reflective mindfulness practice. We use clear behavioural steps, acceptance-based strategies and grounding techniques to reduce avoidance, track progress and rebuild confidence after setbacks. People facing anxiety, low mood, addiction or phobias often find this hands-on, compassionate way of working helpful.
