Therapy can provide a space to explore challenging feelings, unpick difficulties, and work through stuck patterns that are often difficult to express in words alone. Lizzy offers an intergrative approach of art psychotherapy and EMDR which can offer creative and somatic ways to help people to move beyond what distresses them.
Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Lizzy Pittock and I am a registered art psychotherapist and EMDR therapist providing therapy to adults, children, young people and their families in Glasgow and online.

Therapy takes place in a private space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with empathy and without judgement. In the therapy space, thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence. Talking about our issues can be challenging at times. Art therapy and EMDR offer creative and somatic ways to explore issues to help people feel less stuck.
Therapy can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make choices that aling with how you wish to be moving forward.
Therapy is a dedicated and protected time in your week to think about your emotional needs. It is a confidential place to work through whatever you may wish you explore.
Many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Therapy can give us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems and empower people to move towards managing or resolving their difficulties. Therapy begins by building coping strategies to empower people to make the choices they would like.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how therapy works, or, to check my availability and arrange a free 20-minute phone/zoom consultation.
The consultations enable us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you, and whether I am the right therapist to help.
I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment. All inquires are answered usually within 48 hours.
Lizzy Pittock is an inclusive practitioner and welcomes people of all ages from all communities, ethnicities, LGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities.
