Claire Ryan

I am currently available on Monday mornings through to early evening for both individual and relational/couples counselling. Sessions are offered face to face at present from our Newton Mearns office.  Online sessions are also available.

My priority is to help clients feel relaxed and comfortable from the very first session, creating the foundation for trust to grow within the therapeutic relationship. My work is clientled, grounded in a personcentred ethos, and shaped by empathy, congruence, and genuine curiosity about each individual’s inner world.

As an Integrative Therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities—including PersonCentred Therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis, and Psychodynamic approaches. This flexibility allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, whether collaborating with individuals, couples, or families experiencing emotional, relational, or situational difficulties. I aim to support clients in building resilience, strengthening their sense of self, and finding clarity during times of uncertainty.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey and I feel privileged to walk alongside clients as they explore, heal, and grow. My hope is that each person who enters the therapy space feels welcomed, understood, and empowered to move toward the life they want to live.

Our experienced team offers a wide range of therapeutic and wellbeing services, and we are committed to providing the highest quality support to every client. Our counsellors and coaches are selected for their skills, qualifications, experience, and dedication to client care. With up‑to‑date training across counselling, coaching, and several psychotherapy approaches, we aim to give you the best opportunity to achieve positive, lasting results.

We also provide a full range of wellbeing and mental health awareness services for businesses and organisations.

We offer in‑person and online sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility for all.

We are an inclusive organisation and welcome individuals, couples, families, and organisations from all backgrounds. Our mission is to offer compassionate, personalised support during times of need. At MAC, we believe in the transformative power of therapy and are passionate about helping people move towards healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Before your first session, you’ll be invited to complete a counselling agreement and assessment form. These help us understand your background, current concerns, and therapy goals.

In your initial session, we’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss what you hope to achieve, and answer any questions you may have. We work at your pace, creating a safe and supportive space from the very beginning.

I am welcoming new clients and offer online individual and couples counselling. Sessions are available on weekday evenings from 6.30pm and on Fridays from 2pm.

I offer a compassionate, collaborative, and client-led approach to therapy. I believe that lasting change happens when you feel safe, understood, and able to explore your thoughts and experiences at your own pace.

Trained as an Integrative Relational Therapist, I work across a range of therapeutic modalities, including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, CBT, and Gottman-informed Couples Therapy. By drawing on different approaches, I can tailor therapy to your individual needs and support you in achieving the goals that matter most to you.

My practice is grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships at a pace that feels right for you. I work in a client-led, relational, and solution-focused way, helping you gain greater clarity, navigate challenges, and move towards meaningful change.

As an integratively trained therapist, I draw on a range of approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, CBT, and Gottman-informed Couples Therapy. This enables me to tailor our work to your unique needs, whether you are seeking support as an individual or within your relationship.

I currently offer online therapy sessions, providing a flexible and accessible way to access support. If you are interested in face-to-face therapy, we can discuss the options that may be available. My aim is to offer a warm, attuned, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported in creating lasting change.

Before your first session, you will be invited to complete a counselling agreement and assessment form. This helps me gain an initial understanding of your background, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

Our first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss your goals, and answer any questions you may have. It is also a chance for you to decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable, with no pressure to share more than you are ready to.

My aim is to provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where you feel informed, understood, and able to begin your therapeutic journey with confidence.
