Equilibria Health
About Us
Equilibria Health began in 2009 as a small private practice of three psychotherapists in Glasgow. Since then, we have grown into one of Scotland’s largest providers of psychological medico-legal assessments, as well as a leading provider of high-quality therapy services, both online and in person.
While our team continues to grow, our commitment to excellence has never changed. Quality of practice remains our top priority. Below are the people whose expertise, dedication, and professionalism make Equilibria Health a trusted and successful provider.
Meet The Team
This page introduces our dedicated team — the clinicians and professionals who work together every day to support our clients. What sets Equilibria apart is our commitment to quality and consistency: every member of our team is salaried. We don’t use freelancers, which means our assessments and treatments are delivered to the highest standards, every time.
Over the past 16 years, Equilibria Health has grown carefully and purposefully into the team you see today — experienced, collaborative, and united by a shared commitment to exceptional care.
The Psychology Team
Our Psychology Team brings together an exceptional breadth of disciplines, with every clinician offering several years of experience at Consultant or Expert level.
We are proud of the depth and diversity of expertise within the team, united by a shared dedication to quality and best practice.
Above all, our clinicians are committed to creating a calm, supportive environment, ensuring every client feels comfortable, understood, and at ease throughout their assessment.
