Alan McNeill, BACP

Alan McNeill is a Glasgow-based therapist with 24 years of professional experience working across the NHS, private practice and specialist organisations including LGBT Health, Gay Men’s Health, hospice services and Chai Cancer Care. He supports adults who continue to feel the impact of difficult childhoods - for example those affected by family dysfunction, childhood bereavement, parental addiction, domestic abuse, or the experience of growing up feeling different such as being LGBTQI+. These early experiences often contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulties with social confidence, and repeating problematic relationship patterns, and he offers focused help for these concerns.

He also provides therapy for people living with trauma, abuse, and those coping with grief and loss. His clinical approach combines client-centered work, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused methods to help people locate and build on their internal resources. He uses a child/adult model alongside mindfulness practices to help contain and process past events so that individuals can function more effectively in the present with less influence from earlier wounds.

McNeill’s practice is informed by the belief that each person is the expert of their own story, and his role is to help identify and develop the strengths that support recovery and growth. He holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings years of experience supporting people through challenging life transitions and complex emotional histories. He is not currently accepting new clients.
