Hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching in Glasgow | In Person & Online Sessions

Hypnotherapy, NLP and life coaching can support a wide range of experiences including anxiety, fears, sleep problems, habits, smoking, weight management, stammering and life transitions.

Sometimes what's happening on the inside doesn't match what others see on the outside.

On the outside, life can look completely normal. But on the inside there may be anxiety, overthinking, a fear that doesn't make sense, habits that feel difficult to change, or reactions that seem to happen automatically.

At Gilia Practice, I offer personalised one-to-one sessions using a tailored combination of hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and life coaching, drawing on whichever approach best suits your individual needs. Whether you're looking to calm anxiety, break a habit, improve sleep or navigate a life transition, I work with the mind to change unhelpful automatic responses and create calmer, more supportive ways of thinking and feeling.

Many people are surprised by how quickly things can begin to shift.

In Person & Online Hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching

I offer both in person sessions at my therapy rooms in Newton Mearns, Glasgow, and online sessions via video call, making professional hypnotherapy and NLP coaching accessible to clients across the UK.

Online sessions are calm, focused and just as effective as working together in person. Many clients find it easier to make meaningful changes when they're in a familiar, comfortable environment and it removes the need to travel entirely.

Whether you choose to work with me in person near Glasgow or online from anywhere in the UK, the approach is always tailored to you and your goals.

What can hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching help with?

Hypnotherapy and NLP can support many different challenges, from anxiety and fears to habits, sleep problems and life transitions.

And much, much more...

If you’re ready for things to feel different, the first step is a conversation.

A relaxed chat where we can talk about what's going on, what you'd like to change and whether hypnotherapy, NLP or life coaching would be a helpful approach for you.

About me and Welcome to Gilia Practice

Gilia Practice supports change around anxiety, fears, phobias and unhelpful patterns, alongside personal growth and life direction. The work integrates hypnotherapy, NLP and coaching to facilitate meaningful, lasting change.

I am Gillian McCarthy, a CMA accredited Hypnotherapy and NLP Practitioner and Transformational Life Coach. Gilia Practice is founded on the understanding that, like the gilia wildflower, individuals possess an innate capacity to thrive, even following challenging experiences.

I have a varied background which includes working as a Speech and Language Therapist, roles within the charity sector and volunteering as a Childline Counsellor. This breadth of experience has strengthened my ability to listen deeply, understand what's needed and communicate in a way that supports meaningful change.

I was lucky enough to train in person, with one of the world's leading practitioners, Ali Campbell, whose approach emphasises working directly with the patterns that sit beneath the issue. This forms the foundation of my practice today, supporting change at its source, without the need for extensive exploration of past experiences. Sessions are calm, supportive, delivered online and tailored to each individual. Feel free to get in touch to find out more.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Just to report back that the memory of the horrific incident is still there but really difficult to retrieve and no longer bothers me and interestingly, all the positive memories around it seem more vivid. So a huge thank you to you, Gillian, for helping me with this so brilliantly.

My Health Anxiety has almost gone entirely. I feel relaxed ahead of my hospital investigations and ready to enjoy the festive season without my mind running the show!

It has changed everything for me as I no longer have the emotional response to the trauma and in just a few sessions I cleared so many traumas. She is such a lovely person, so warm, friendly, open and easy to build a lovely rapport with and also very professional.

I wanted to get over a food fear that was problematic for me. We chatted online about my fears and with one relaxing session my problem has really subsided. The panic that was once there isn't as my brain seems to have reset itself. Thank you, Gillian
