Serenity Within

Serenity Within · West End of Glasgow

A safe space to be heard, without judgement.

I'm Michael Woods, an integrative CBT therapist and registered member of BACP. I offer therapy online and face to face, shaped around you.

Your first 15-minute consultation is free, so you can see whether we're a good fit.

About me

I believe everyone deserves to be heard, understood and accepted without judgement. Reaching out can feel like a big step, and I'll go at a pace that feels right for you.

I'm a fully qualified integrative cognitive behavioural therapist. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, I draw on different approaches and tailor them to you and what you bring:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred
  • Humanistic
  • Compassion-Focused
  • Solution-Focused

My practice is trauma-informed, built on safety, trust and empowerment.

How I can help

People come to me with all sorts of things. Some of the most common are:

  • Addiction

    Support with addiction and the road to recovery.

  • Anxiety & stress

    Worry, panic, stress and burnout.

  • Depression & low mood

    When things feel heavy, flat or hopeless.

  • Grief & loss

    Making space for loss of any kind.

  • Relationships

    Difficulties with partners, family or others.

  • Anger, trauma & self-esteem

    Understanding what's underneath, and rebuilding.

Not sure if what you're going through fits? Get in touch anyway. That's what the free consultation is for.
