Psychotherapy in Glasgow
My name is Poppy Carmichael and I am a qualified psychotherapist, offering face-to-face sessions in Glasgow and online throughout the UK.
I offer a safe and nurturing space where we can explore what's going on for you, without judgement. Focusing on your uniqueness as an individual, my practice is guided by what feels important to you. Although I am led by you, I'm not passive in my role. I actively engage in the relationship by being curious, asking questions and gently challenging you when I notice something that feels important. My hope is that, together, we can create a relationship that is compassionate and accepting, while also being real, honest and open.
With experience working in a broad range of areas and with a diverse client group, I welcome each person as they are, aiming to create a safe, inclusive and respectful space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

Person-centred, relational, experiential
Person-centred means the therapy starts with you. Your experiences, feelings and needs are at the centre of our work. I will never assume to know your experiences better than you. Instead, we will work collaboratively to make sense of what you are going through.
Relational means therapeutic change happens through our relationship. What happens between us can be an opportunity to explore how you experience relationships more broadly: how you connect with others, how you respond to challenge and vulnerability, and what you might need from the people around you.
Experiential means paying attention to what you are experiencing in the here and now, including your emotions, thoughts, sensations and reactions. This can help you develop greater self-awareness, better understand patterns and explore new ways of responding.
"Poppy has an energy that makes you feel deeply seen and heard in therapy. She is immediately warm and welcoming. I know that when I am sharing some of the most vulnerable parts of myself, I am being held with care and listened to fully."
"Poppy is a gentle and deeply caring therapist. Her pacing feels really respectful of where I’m at, and she makes me feel like I have a companion in the sometimes painful therapeutic work. I also appreciated the times she offered perspectives that I might not have ordinarily been open to hearing."
